I am not sure I have ever seen a bowler hug an umpire after getting a wicket before.

I liked it earlier when a wicket fell, and he said "Go home, you're out!".

This has been great bowling by South Africa at the death. So many full balls, hard to hit.
Murali's a goose.

That is a good win by South Africa, I thought SL were good things with about ten overs to go.

The last time South Africa were here they kept Aus out of the final, this keeps that dream alive

great win by RSA. thought they were going to lose by quite a bit when they were batting in the middle stages and to their credit bowled really well as they have been doing all series. lol at pollock

not here, i prefer the 5 day version over odi's. there are just too many meaningless games of the 50 over stuff, played only to generate revenue.
this is shown by the aussies resting punter for aus. day. CA got their sell-out, so it doesn't matter who plays on the day.
i would say in the past 6 seasons, only 3 or 4 of the odi's have been worthy of remembering. and yes, i have seen every ball from every game in australia since the 97/98 season so if you feel like questioning my credibility as a cricket viewer go ahead,

Boucher was simply awesome too

I was referring more to the comparison of the 50 over games to the 20/20 version. I prefer Test Cricket myself too, I have been watching it since 1970/71.wenkytesh said:

Thought he kept his cool in the field pretty well when things were tight and it looked liked they were about to lose so you can't really blame him for looking so happy with a ball to go. In fact the Saffies were disciplined and seemed to know what they were required to do. They are a bit out of form atm but did it on guts. Sri Lanka looked to have it sewn up but Van der Wath and Hall did well to peg them back and the South African fielding stood up by their standards.
Very disappointing to drop that one. If it was won, there would've been a nice cushion going into Australia Day.
Jaya was just cutting loose with 2 monster sixes when he was brilliantly stumped down legside by Boucher, was quite unreal. Sanga following immediately after and Lanka looked in real shyt.
Dilshan/Jayawardene did awesomely well to keep them in it, and in the end get them into a winning position. Van Der Wath bowled well and was the difference along with Hall for mine.
I think the Aussies will bounce back on Aus Day, and the Lankans will rue that they dropped a relatively winable game.
Not looking forward to games in Perth.

The Saffies got lucky, great bowling by VD Wath and Hall, Pollock also did well. Great last spell by Hall to clinch the game. Their batting is still not how it should be!! Seems stupid to try and rely on one or two guys to play a gem down the order everytime!!!
