Today in the WI V NZ cricket Ian Smith was commentating and said the Martin Sneddon (NZ cricket CEO) was cracking out the champagne seeing his record of 105 for 2 had finally been passed by Lewis. I lolled at that for a go while.

As someone said, we will never see a ODI better than this. So catch the replay if you have the chance.

Credit must go to the two best cricket teams in the world for putting on a great show. (The groundsman deserves a pat on the back too)
Does anyone know if they'll be replaying this on tv in the uk? Not only did I miss England being whipped by the French due to a dodgy video machine but I missed the best cricket match in the history of the sport due to spending my day getting shot at and shooting by my mates with paintballs [/b]
There's an hour of highlights on Sky Sports 2 at 10:30 this evening.

They have videos of the Pro20 match and 1st and 2nd matches, so maybe keep an eye on it to see if they upload one of the final game. Maybe they just posted up South Africa wins.

how can you not defend 434 ponting? lol
ponting is the worst captian we have had since the 70's

he never bowled Lee out

he kept bowling Lewis, who was getting pumped

he wins a toss and bowls, 5 mins after mcgrath twists his ankle in the ashes

where do i stop

he is a good batter but a **** captain

that coffee table of a ground didnt help either........i mean **** i could throw from boundary to boundary at the wanderers..........makes me wonder what the constructors were wondering about when building something called the wanderers.......

bracken dropped the match, but we had no back-up due to another **** captaincy effort from punter.......friggin bowling lewis out, was stupid.
 
Out for $20,000 - a punter's nightmare
14 March 2006 
By TREVOR MARHALLSEA
Sydney Morning Herald

It was money for old rope, fruit for the sideboard, or, as punters have been saying since gambling was invented, an absolute certainty. Or so a few cashed-up cricket followers believed.


After Australia posted a world record 4-434 in their one-day match in South Africa late on Sunday night, Sydney time, most Australian fans went to bed, content victory was secure. But a few went chasing easy money. The odds weren't flash, but there was no way Australia could lose, was there?

There was. Unbelievably, South Africa won by reaching 438 off the second-last ball, with only one wicket to spare.

Most cricket fans will have been stunned to hear the result upon waking up. But a few in particular will have gone into shock.

In between innings, two Australian punters put $20,000 on the World Cup holders to win at odds of $1.01 with Centrebet - standing to win just $200 each. Another got on with Sportsbook.com.au at the more generous $1.06, betting $16,000 to win $960. Instead, the three cocky gamblers lost the lot.

"I almost didn't bother putting the odds up between innings," said Centrebet's Gerard Daffy. "I didn't think anyone would be interested. It just goes to show again, there's no such thing as a certainty. It's what keeps bookmakers in business."

It was perhaps the game's biggest shock since England beat Australia in the Headingley Test of 1981, when Dennis Lillee and Rod Marsh famously backed their rivals midway through the match, having noticed they were at a juicy 500-1.

AdvertisementAdvertisementThere were no such odds about South Africa at the halfway stage, only $26. Not surprisingly, Centrebet did not take a single bet on them.

A similar story happened when some Australian backing Australia, laid down $50,000 to win $500 when Australia played Bangladesh in England and the Banglas won.

Bloody Idiots!!!


:wacko:

PER CAPITA WE ARE THE BIGGEST GAMBLING NATION ON THE PLANET

:bravo: :cheers:

I myself love a punt

I had the Safs at $2.30 to win the final

at midnight, i was like oh well, atleast we win

by 3am i was head banging the wall..............but my wallet was getting fatter

win/win situation

:bleh!:

p.s what about the story in the ashes series in the 80's............poms were paying 500 quid to win one of the tests..............half the aussie team went and threw 50 quid on the poms....just in case...........then Ian Botham arrived and turned the test on its hinge and won the match for england...........the aussies won alot of dosh

then the press start to allege match fixing.
Then Lilee shuts them down, by saying "if we were going to throw the match, we'd have more than 50 quid on it u idiots"

won the of best lines given to the media of all time :bravo:
 
yeah but 50 quid was alot of money back in those days lol but i didnt know that story
 
I totally forgot the 1st Test started yesterday,this is what happed on day one..


BBC Sport
Clark puts S Africa on the ropes 
First Test, Cape Town: South Africa 205; Australia 63-1(stumps, day one)
Scorecard

Clark could not have hoped for a better start to a Test career

Stuart Clark took 5-55 in a brilliant debut performance as Australia's seam bowlers struck gold on the first day of the first Test against South Africa.

At stumps, the Aussies were on top at 63-1 replying to South Africa's 205.

Clark, playing his first Test at 30, had the key wickets of Graeme Smith, Herschelle Gibbs and Jacques Kallis.

Matthew Hayden took his 100th catch and then became the ninth Australian to pass 7,000 runs in Tests, moving ahead of the great Sir Donald Bradman.

South African captain Graeme Smith's decision to bat first after winning the toss on a gloomy morning looked like it might prove to be a costly error.

There was moisture in the wicket to start with, and the conditions persuaded Australia to go in with four seamers, consigning spinner Stuart MacGill to 12th man duties.

But by the time the Aussies came out to bat after tea, the clouds had shifted and batting was a less difficult prospect.

Four wickets fell in each of the first two sessions.

AB de Villiers did not last long, bowled in the 10th over by Michael Kasprowicz as he drove loosely at a full-length delivery.

Justin Langer column 

Skipper Smith was the next to go, edging Clark behind, before South Africa suffered a hammer blow when Kallis played a square cut straight to Hayden at gully.

Herschelle Gibbs was hanging on grimly, but not even he could last until lunch, and Clark bowled him with a brilliant delivery pitching on middle-and-off before taking the top of off stump.

The first man to fall in the middle session was Jacques Rudolph.

He had just hit Kasprowicz for two encouraging boundaries before suffering some outrageous misfortune next ball.

Rudolph edged Kasprowicz straight to Shane Warne at first slip, who dropped the ball and fell over.


Unexpectedly, Nicky Boje was the top scorer for South Africa

But he managed to kick the ball skywards before hitting the deck for Adam Gilchrist to complete a bizarre catch.

Mark Boucher joined the procession of South African batsmen reaching the teens without progressing when nicking Clark behind, Gilchrist diving to take an excellent catch.

Then Ashwell Prince gave Hayden another catch in the gully to give Brett Lee his first wicket and leave South Africa on 124-7.

The Lee-Hayden combination also accounted for Andrew Hall (24) - Hayden taking his 100th Test catch in the process.

Nicky Boje, South Africa's top-scorer with 31, hit a flurry of boundaries either side of tea to help the hosts past the 200-mark.

But if Australia were frustrated at failing to capitalise fully on the earlier in-roads, it was soon forgotten when Hayden came out to bat.

The big left-hander, who started with supreme patience, ended the day unbeaten on 22, with Ricky Ponting 20.

South Africa's only success was the dismissal of Justin Langer for 16 - a debatable lbw decision that earned Andre Nel a wicket.

I tell what happened

after watching the ptich report by the most bias commentator i have ever heard, he got owned

he said this

"Well the aussies have lost the toss, a crucial toss to lose, as this wicket is flat, and will give tru bounce, meaning the protease should come out blazing, and post a good total, on top of this is australias inexperienced attack, which will fall into the hands of the proteas on the flat wicket, should be a good day of cricket"

Inexperienced attack owned them
The pitch was hardly a batters wicket
This guy should be fired - has no idea

On Debut a 5 for - I love seeing the baggy green in its true new form...dark green and so mint........i want one really :p
 
Well ..... no one seems to be interested but Australia won the first test with a day to spare.

I guess thats why its so quiet in here now. :p
 
Also gives them a chance to show more of the greatest ODI ever, not rubbing it in btw, just a far better viewing option than the test match was.
 
I find it ridiculous how many times I get told when talking about the tour how many Aussies reply "The Test matches are the real deal, ODI's mean nothing and are unimportant."

So that means that the World Cup is unimportant as it is all about ODI's. That's fine with me. The Aussies are the Champs at something unimportant.

Test match cricket is what cricket is all about

One dayers are only important during the World Cup

Just look at the Ashes tour, one dayers are used as a warm up before the real stuff begins.

I'd say every captain would trade 10 1dayers lost for one test win, that is unless its during a WC ,then i'm sure they would trade any test series lost(bar the ashes) to win a WC.
 
Graeme Smith is out with a hand injury. Jacques Kallis has been given the captaincy role, and Boeta Dippenaar has replaced Smith. The coach and selectors have resisted the move to experiment with the team by making more changes.

That is how I see it.

Test cricket is the true form of the game. ODI were made to attract crowds. Test matches are the true test of your cricketing ability.
