Just brought up his 50 off 23 balls!!
Absolutely caning the proteas. Scoring at 10 an over.
We are chasing three hundred and twenty odd to win.
Another hour of this and we will win in 40 overs.
HE'S JUST BEEN BOWLED OFF A NO BALL!!
Dear oh dear, it's all happening here at the MCG!!!

Dammit, he's out now...
Telemarketing has just picked him up for 52.
Ian bloody Harvey is coming to the wicket at first drop. Not 100% sure why. He'll probably score a quick fire 14 and get out.

Yeah, what a crock and 64 off 9 overs with the ball.
Stick with Watson I reckon, a better batsman and bowler.

Pity Watson cant judge a single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome win by Oz....watched it with a couple of jaja's.....biggest total ever chased(successfully), and it looked like hapening from over 15! Amazing.
Still, bowled and fielded non too flash.
The ja ja's must be wondering what they gotta do to win!

For a while there they looked like they were going to make it without even breaking into a sweat, but then our tail started too colapse.
I 'spose that was bound to happen once both Ponting and Lehmann got out as the blokes in the dressing probably felt (as I did) with only about 30 odd runs to go that they were going to finish it off.
Absolutely awesome! the only thing that i would have had different is have maher in the side. He did nothing wrong to deserve to be dropped

I have to say, it was an absolute pleasure watching Lehmann and Ponting bat last night... Lehmann is able to work the ball around with ease and also find the boundary with placement and power when he feels like it and we all know how Punter can bat in this form of the game.
They put on 181 off as many balls and that on the back of an umbelievable onslaught at the start from Gilly and Haydos, 81 opening stand off less than 9 overs!! :):):)
It was interesting playing the 2 all-rounders, Harvey and Watson... our batting appears stronger but the bowling suffers. I wonder what they'll do for team balance come this time next year for the world cup???
Cheers!! :)

If South Africa weren't totally mentally stuffed by us before this match, they certainly are now!
