Monday, 13 March 2006 OMG. South Africa win the greatest game So, I went to bed feeling pretty content that Australia was going to win the fifth one day international after watching their amazing innings in which they scored 434 runs. When I woke up, I checked the results and I couldn’t believe what happened.
