Did anybody watch the oneday match between S. Africa and Australia?
Best match I've seen in a long time. I was flabergasted when South Africa managed to pull off a win, beating the Aussies by one wicket!

Scores:

Aust: 434/4
SA: 438/9

Highest scores yet!

The 1999 WC semi between the same teams was amazing & the outcome was more important but this game is up there.

Bring on the tests!
