Of Great Matches

With all the brouhaha over the 434-game between Australia and South Africa I was dying to at least catch a glimpse of the highlights to see what all the fuss was about. Well I still haven't had time to watch the whole thing but I did see the first 30 overs of South Africa's innings (ie. the Hershcelle Gibbs (and Graeme Smith) show) and it was no doubt breathtaking. Perhaps once I get the whole thing I will be able to appreciate it better ??

But then after that I watched the highlights of the Ashes again ... and immediately it was patently clear again what real cricket was and what just a show.

Once again, Long Live Test Match Cricket.
