CRICKETERS you guys made our day!
We’re not the biggest sports fans, but when it comes to an International match we become very vocal. Just ask our poor friends who had to listen to us yelling and shouting during the incredible Australia – SA one-day match yesterday…We were so glad to catch this glorious unforgettable sporting moment.
If you didn’t catch it, you lost out. So here’s the deal… Australia goes …
in to bat and breaks the world record of the highest number of runs scored in a one-day match, getting 434/4 – a frightening number to try and match. Sa’s are all nervous – there’s no chance we could beat that.
But not only did we match it, we surpassed it with a beautiful 4 hit by Hershelle Gibbs (after Makhaya Ntini had given us the one we needed) with only one more ball to be bowled – we ended on 438/9, winning the series.
What a feeling.
Well done guys!
