Oz vs South Africa cricket
Has anyone been watching the cricket lately? Man, what a fantastic series - three games (5 days long) over a 21 day period is pretty full on. The last three days (here in Sydney) have been played in the three hottest days of this summer by far.
Really all three games could've gone either way, with this last game coming down to the South African captain coming out to bat with a broken hand with about 40 balls left to bowl. His side needed to survive for the game to be a draw and for them to win the series 2-0. Australia got him out with about 15 balls to spare and salvaged some pride with a 2-1 series and retained their number 1 test ranking (albeit probably only until we tour south africa in a return series in late Feb (I think).
Also it is nice to see a game of cricket without one team being sore losers - definitely played in the right spirit.
So, anyone else been watching?
