Anyone else watch it? South Africans managed to mess it up after only needing 3 runs off the last 6 balls! Superb match! 8)

Great game and a terrific advertisment for the sport. The final over shows the `losers` mentality that the South Africans have and Graeme Smith must be considering his position, both as captain and as opening batsman.

I`ve said it before and I`ll say it again - anyone who writes off cricket with the usual "boring" statement should have been watching that final seven balls - unbelievable stuff.
How SA contrived to not win that game is beyond me :D

I think it`s judgement on those idiots in the stands who turned their backs. Kissing the English symbol on his cap was a brilliant gesture.

Anyone who slates cricket as boring just doesn`t understand the game!! Can`t wait for the `Ashes Series`. We`ll get walloped but, there`ll be some bloody good cricket played.
Final over was as good as any thriller you were likely to see this week! Anyway, as far as I`m concerned England `won` by losing fewer wickets! ;)
