Aus vs SA games were so delightful back then in 90s and early 00s.. high quality contest between bat and ball. Most of the games used to well fought with scores typically between 200 to 240 per innings. I always felt SA of late 90s was notch better than Aus but would invariably lose the games that mattered most. It was there to see in these twin bilateral 3-match series played in 2000 of which SA won 2-1 and second series was 1-1, in spite of vicious turmoil of Cronje fixing issue that happened just before these two series

Best ODI series I ever witnessed. Aus won the first game. The second was a tie, and South Africa won the third one. At this moment both these teams were equal and shared the #1 position in the ODI cricket.

I remember this series like it was yesterday. As an 8 year old my dad and I went to game 3, the first match I ever went to, and I'll never forget the deafening noise of the crowd (including more than a few South African fans) and the almost constant momentum swings. I always found it odd that they played in August, in winter, and if memory serves me right the match I went to took place on a weeknight so as not to clash too much with the AFL season that was happening at the same time. No wonder they abandoned that idea afterwards. Still, that was my first taste of live cricket and I was hooked from then onwards.

1 match Aus 2 - tied 3- SA These matches r classic

Those days these were the fights between Lions and the Tigers .

What a golden era that was. ❤❤

👌👌S.A. was the only team giving tough to Australia that time..both teams are equal power that time.

What made south africa and Australia matches very competitive during 90's and 2000's was not only the batting and bowling but the fielding , South africa was better fielding side than Australia , New Zealand and Zimbabwe!

golden days of cricket.

Teams full of Super stars. I feel old now 😒😒

One of the best things about this is the commentary. Greig, Lawry, Benaud. Chappelli as well.

We are respecting both of that teams because they respect the game of cricket and show fight spirit, obviously they are the universal best teams of all formats.

Bevan is the unsung hero for Aussies,I can remember a lot of great and demanding innings by him when it matters most.

Is there any more Michael Bevan, brilliant one day player that he was?

Australia vs South Africa in the year 2000 ( six ODIs evenly spread across the two nations) is probably the highest standard of white ball / limited overs cricket ever. Edit: imma change that to undoubtedly.

Kirsten Gibbs Kallis Callinan Rhodes Klusener Boucher(wk) Pollock (c) Boje Donald Ntini This was the greatest SA team ever.. Around 1998-99.

Very first indoor cricket game and I was there with my friends to witness it.it was so cold inside and me and my friend were students in Melbourne that time

The best odi ever played was too AUS vs SA ..the 434 & 438 one...I watched that on tv live, after aus innings I was sure they will win but SA had other plan especially Gibbs That line up of SA was also a good one...

The only competition which could give Australia at that time was South Africa.

Miss bill and Tony so much . Voices of cricket for sure

bevan was fearless n matchwinner everytime...

@robelinda, Do you have that series too which played in South Africa? No matter which country you are from, these kind of matches are always enjoyable!

shane lee! quality all-rounder. do you have any highlights of his man of the match performance against Tasmania in 1998? I think he got 5 wickets, a 50 and a run-out.

I warched that series, that was a fantastic one bcoz both were balance teams...

Great series. Great contest. Great cricket. Cheers Rob!

I wish those days never ended 😌

Cricket in Australia always treat to watch

I so very well remember that 2nd ODI that ended in a tie. That over from Hall turned it around. Untill that Steve Waugh was cruising to victory.

Bill Larry great cometary

Nice collection of the quality cricket

Lance Klausner.... Whoa....

Those days there were competitive cricket. 90s was the great era. Now-a-days T20 cricket has spoiled the game and it should be stopped.

I still remember this series as it happened yesterday to me..... But at that time South Africa was a cricket giant...... The only team which was capable of beating Australia..... It was the historic lineups of both teams...... These two were the only teams I used to watch winning everytime...... And SA vs AUS was a real war of dominance everytime...

wasn't there another series in South Africa soon after?

I was in class 6 and was sick due to jaundice in those days so stayed at home and watched full series live at that time, though due to time zone differences, I had to wake up at 3AM to watch that series but I was crazy about cricket.

great upload ..

A perfect series

Great era of cricket

Bevan is the best finisher of all time I believe his avg could have been 60 If he got chance to bat up the order see the line up he has played with gilly Hayden Waugh brothers Martyn Ponting ave

@say2chander I assume everyone has seen it when it was on, shouldnt be a surprise.

Fabulous tournament

90s 1.Australia 2.South Africa 3.Pakistan

@indianpunjabi4u i recorded them off tv onto a video tape

The standard of cricket in this series was incredibly high. Both were brilliant teams but I think SA were more skilled.

which stadium is this?

My fav matches to watch are SA vs Australia but only when South Africa win

Y rhodes is underrated as a batsman

7:06 the only shot of david terbrugge bowling you'll ever see on the internet

Whenever Australia played, Brett Lee, glespy and McGrath , other team very difficult to reach even 200 score.

Bhai yeh Michael Bevan bollywood actor puru rajkumar ke jaise dikhta tha.

Pakistan also beat Australia in Australia challenge series on 2000 20001 under waqar captaincy

Bevan what a odi player he was

Aus all time odi x1 Mathew Hayden Adam Gilchrist Ricky ponting Michel Bevan Steve Waugh Mike hussey Andrew Symonds/maxwell Shane warne Brett lee Mitchel starc Glenn McGrath

Great tram south africa

I think this is a coloniel stadium Melbourne 2 indoor under roof, Please upload more matches Under roof Melbourne 2.

Boeta dippener, Nicky boje too underrated

Their jersey used to be Soo cool

It certainly did

Yeah in April of that year

Aaj kon kon dekh rha hy👍

RIP Warne

Andy bichel, shaun tait list goes on & on shane watson

South Africa should played Allan Donald whenever played against Australia.

I dont know Y Australia has stopped playing triangular series in dec & jan... Probably due to sponsors unavailability?

First series after hansie cronje removing captaincy of south Africa cricket team.

One series won by s.africa 2-1 Second series was 1-1 drawn

Gazab jodi ponting, bevan & steve waugh openrs m.waugh Gilchrist & hayden later on Lehman, martyn,stuart law,lower order riefel,moddy, harvey,s. warne

australia shoudlve won the series 3-0

Darrell hair still giving them out when clearly not out. Check klusener last match out off the shoulder

South African cricket team is like a child that never grew up and one day just died.

13 of 6 and you tie the game? I'd call that a half choke. They don't disappoint the Saffers.

Gee and here I was thinking docklands is still a “new” stadium

The series was a tie, Pollock threw away victory in Game 2, yet he idiotically rejoiced in the end. Lol. Good old days though.

Not many spectators

bevan & waugh the people u want in a crisis

Monthy Hayward a player who should have never been in the SA team..

where were One of the best Match Fixer Hansie Cronje🤣
