Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
This big victory would help Australia to forget their series defeat by 2 - 1. Personally, I wasn't expecting to see anything like this. Finally, Travis Head has shown his capability in today's match. Where Cameron Green has shown more powerful batting performance than Travis Head in the match. Unfortunately, Australia couldn't break their previous highest ODI score record. They were 3 runs short from their past record. They had scored 434 runs against South Africa in 2006 and lost that match 
.
Still, I would say that winning this match is a consolation prize for Australia after enduring so much humiliation. But what I don't understand is, have Australia's batsmen forgotten their ability to perform like this in the previous matches?.However, we were actually very satisfied to see all the top order batsmen of Australia perform well, especially after a long time, when we saw Travis Head perform well again. Now it remains to be seen how Australia's batsmen perform on the New Zealand tour.
This is worst ever defeat for South Africa in ODI history while history will be written no one will add South Africa was playing with their reserve players they will write Australia punish them badly and won by biggest margin.
Four batsmen on crease with 3 centuries and 1 fifty while in bowling youngest ever bowler have 5 wickets for Aussies in this game as well.
