My routine every morning includes a quick browse through cricinfo. This morning I got the surprise of a lifetime. Australia had scored 434 in the last one-dayer between them and South Africa. And that was not the surprising part. The way the one-day game has become stacked in favor of the batsmen, the 400 run barrier was bound to be broken sooner than later. What was surprising was that South Africa was actually in the hunt for an improbable victory. Now, on this same ground 3 years ago Australia had run up an equally impressive score against India and India had lost without a fight. So ofcourse I got behind the South Africans in this heroic run chase. AND THEY WON! Those of you who don't follow cricket and have been diligent enough to read this far this is equivalent to a team scoring 30 runs in a baseball game and still losing!
Man, wish I could have watched this game on TV!

It was indeed a terrific game and I wonder if future aspiring cricketers would want to be bowlers anymore. Good money, great crowd appeal and all that yes but these days there is just nothing left in the game for bowlers.
It was a great match. Maybe this is how all the matches will be played 10 years from now
Hey thanks. The W ding didn't hurt that much - I knew the app was going down the toilet right after my interview. But K hurt - maybe because it was my first. I was thinkning about you and Swoops (blogger from last year) when that happened. But you're right - once you get your ass booted a couple of times, you do develop an immunity of sorts. Good luck with all the waitlists. This is such a hard-ass, bad year for Yetis.
