Any South Africans watching the cricket ?

This morning I wanted to cry because I must work today - My brother just phoned me with the score - WOW - that is impressive. I can't see our boys chasing that down. Apparently Ricky Ponting did not show any mercy to the guys in green.

I want to cry... This is what I always say about the Aussies - THEY ARE A GREAT SPORTING NATION. Imagine scoring 93 all out and being 2 - 0 down in a 5 match series and coming back to put up a score like that and most likely winning the series. I heard that only twice in history did a team come back from 2-0 down to take a series 3 - 2.

Seems like Gibbs and Smith are taking the game to the Aussies - Partnership of 150 of 107 balls. South Africa still in it.

Smith is out - Gibbs still in - Made 150 of less than 100 balls and still batting. South Africa batting at a rate of more than 9 runs per over. Smith (90 of 50_ and Dippenaar back in the pavillion.

Damn - Why am I at work.

Sadly I didn't get to see too much of it either because I had to work all day. But I was glued to the radio and I did record it to watch later.

Unbelievable I have just found out that SA chased down the largest total ever posted. Congrats to them they deserved the win.

I'm just annoyed that I went to bed thinking the game was won and didn't see the batting performance.

I am a bit late, but I wasn't at the PC for today. WOW, what a win. I managed to watch all 4 matches before, but this one I had to work. Not even a radio.
For those that don't understand - Australia made the highest ever total in a 50 over match. Then South Africa managed to chase down that score. Gibbs was amazing.
Was almost the same feeling as when South Africa won the rugby world cup in 1995. Would've loved to be at Wonderers for this game - the spectators were extremely lucky.
