Once in a lifetime...

Dear Mausam,
Did you watch the madness at Johannesburg last sunday. The setting was perfect,two teams,truly world class(South Africa and Australia),competing in the fifth and final oneday international with the series tied at 2-2(Australia came from behind to level the series after being 2-0 down against South Africa). Thanks to Ponting and Hussey Australia piled up an unimaginable total of 434 in 50 overs. The first team to cross the 400 run barrier in onedayers. Everybody was flabbergasted with just the thought of some team piling up that kind of score! The match was as good as over for almost everybody. What is commedable not just the fact that South Africa chased that score but just the thought of South Africa considering taking a shot at chasing that kind of a total. 435 on any wicket is one hell of a task and South Africa did that in style.It truly was once in a lifetime achievement for the players. It was by far one of the greatest match I have ever seen or heard of. My heart goes out to the little known Australian bowler,Lewis, who got the dubious distinction of being the most expensive bowler. The fellow who reminded me of our very own Vicky coz of his looks,expressions and double chin had a miserable time and got more than a 100 runs conceded against him.
After the match I must say,the guys at Adidas are so right when they say,"Nothing is Impossible"
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
