Records are meant to be broken

Yesterday was the greatest day in the cricketing history, when South Africa and Australia togather broke so many world records, I have to count how many records were broken.

1. Highest Total – 438 by SA

2. Highest runs chased – 434

3. Most runs conceded by a bowler in ODI i.e. 113/10 overs

4. Most sixes hit in an ODI match 26

5. Most boundaries hit in an ODI Match 87

6. Highest match total 872

there might be more … :)

Match Summary

It was South Africa, who was victorious in the classic match of all time. Australia posted 434 in 50 overs, which is a record itself in ODI and failed to defend this mammoth total.

I think its the arrogance of Aussies that led them down. it was second time they were the part of highest run chased records but at receiving end.

I am happy that one record was not broken and that is Saeed Anwer’s 194, highest Individual score in ODI. Two man Ponting and Gibbs had a chance to break that mark but it didn’t happen.

I would like to hear your comments.
