ODI no. 3128: India vs. South Africa

South Africa chase again:

Five years ago, to the day, South Africa successfully chased 434 to beat Australia at the Wanderers. It was a historic win, featuring the highest run-chase in ODI cricket. It was a day to remember and when Graeme Smith was in the field against India on Saturday afternoon in Nagpur, memories of that game came back to him for all the wrong reasons.

I blogged about that epic match at the time.

Poor Sachin Tendulkar. The guy scores a beautiful century, lays a granite foundation and after he gets out the rest of the team utterly combusts. Had the Indians simply played out the 50 overs, they could have just possibly won.
