Record books danced to the tunes of Wanderers !

Does one need to comment on this? The Records tumbled and fumbled on the New Wanderers Stadium at Johannesburg with the Porteas beating the Kangaroos by a wicket by scoring over 400 runs in just 299 deliveries. Seven years after the semi-final of the 1999 World Cup, this match has helped the Porteas to loose their Chokers tag. The ghosts of the match has been finally burried.Phew! What a match. Unbelievable Stuff.

Till yesterday (2348 One Day Internationals), no team had ever achieved a score of 400 and today on the 2349th ocassion it was done twice. The highest cumulative total for an ODI stood at 693 when India beat Pakistan by five runs in Karachi in March 2004. However, no respect was shown to history as the teams went on to score a total of 872 runs. Mike Lewis' bowling figures of 10-0-113-0 must have provided Murali with some comfort as his most expensive bowling analysis in a LOI was shattered. He conceded 10-0-99-0 against Australia in Sydney in February and was the worst (in terms of most runs conceded) bowling performance in the LOI history.

However, one of my batch mates found one more Murphy's law: All good cricket/football matches and F1 races happen one day before ur exams begin... And I second that. Have end terms beginning tomorrow. So, time to put an end to this post now. More to follow.
