Probably GREATEST cricket match ever played.

I was there at this game live on 12/03/2006. Goosebumps being proudly South African watching Gibbs going crazy live in person. His best innings ever... the tension, excitement, pressure and fighting spirit was felt by all in the stadium. At the half time break they brought out the Oscar award and winning cast for the first South African movie(Tsotsi) to win an Oscar, that gave us some hope and Inspiration. At the last Over they played the song country roads take me home. Everything was a dream to chase the World record under pressure of the best team at the time. We South Africans never give up. This game inspired a nation. The atmosphere was electric and that game is always remembered as the greatest one day match ever played. Privileged to have seen it in person. What a way to have life memories.

It's been 14 years and still can't stop watching this memorable match over and again..what a match..had watched it live..

No ads? What a legend

Ricky ponting played blasting & destructive inning in wc 2003 vs India And now ponting played mind blowing inning vs South Africa 2006 he's gem Such a great player to watch every time

The best match in odi history. Greame Smith and south Africa show us that fight back can do wonders and many wonders happened at Wanderers that day.

Those Golden days of watching cricket in espn and star sports. Miss those days🥺🙄😏😐

Ricky Ponting's team were full of legends, one of the best best captains ever in fact he is the officially known to be the most successful captain.

Imagine a boy supporting South Africa saw australia's score and switched of the tv and then studied and woke up the next day and realised that he missed a hella lot of action

ഇതുപോലൊരു മത്സരം ഇനി പിറക്കുകയില്ല. ഈ വീര ഇതിഹാസങ്ങൾ തന്നെയാണ് ക്രിക്കറ്റിന്റെ നട്ടെല്ല്. ഇവരുടെ കാലം തന്നെയാണ് ക്രിക്കറ്റിന്റെ സുവർണ കാലഘട്ടം ❤️

After watching this match, become emotional for SA team ..... Legendary performance by all players by achieving target of 433 against AUS ....Its amazing....

There is nothing like pointing's team till date . That Australian team was full of legends.

I showed this match to a patient suffering from depression and suicidal ideation... Imagine what... He got motivated and started taking treatment... What a match... Raised a hope in a person suffering from suicidal ideation (anything is possible)

It was played on 12th March 2006. Today is 12th March, 2017. 11 years gone but this match is still not old.

It was playing in 2006 I'm watching in 2020 during lockdown period

Played on this day in 2006. On its 16th birthday, the game is still the best ODI till date.

Golden era when normal match were equal to world cup matches.

This Australian team was a living nightmare for all the other cricket teams. They were an indestructible brute force at that time.

Graeme Smith at the start interview - "It's a difficult ground to defend at" 😂

It's difficult ground to defend... Well said Graeme at the toss!!

What an epic match, still one of those legendary matches in cricket.

Ricky Pointing was luck enough to have a group of legends in his team. Among them he was at the top as a leader.

Australia managed to hold world record. But history and memory of century in cricket created in part-2 when South African came to bat.👍👌👏👏👏

Greatest ODI game ever played..... The Clash of the Titans.

They wouldn't have imagined what is going to be the next....😁😂

Picture Abhi baki hai mere dost...😂

That Aussie team kept lifting the bar, forcing other nations to get better if they wanted to win. Great period in cricket. Glorious knock by Ponting. Historic match...still easily the best ODI ever played.

It was played on 12 March 2006 and it's 12 March 2019. 13 years old,but still the most existing match till date

It’s 12th march 2020 and still one of the best matches of cricket history..

Bhai.aaj bhi ye match dekho.dil khush ho jata hai.yaisa lagta hai live dekh raha hon

Watching overseas games in ESPN and star sports and star cricket was pure ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and emotion.

That Australian line up was crafted by God 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best match in the history of cricket seriously NO JOKE!

One of the best innings of Ponting’s

Still remember watching this match live ❤️

Australia after posting 434-4 must've thought there is no way they could lose & all South African fans(myself included) thought there's no way they could chase it down. This game was incredible in all aspects

Ponting... I love his strokes.. Xpshly pull shots.. Beautiful..

Me and my brother were watching this game when ausis runs a 400+ i took a remote frm his hand and said 100% australia will win but after an hour he came back with a chocky and asked me to giveback a remote this match was excited and entertained me a lot

This match was created history. GG South Africa

I watched his match with my brother and sister. This match gave me one of the best memory with them.

Was visiting Melrose close to the Wanderers and remembered this awesome game. Tx for uploading the match. Best game of cricket I ever saw.

At the end of their innings the Aussies had little idea of its result!!!

He is the all-time class batsman of Australian cricket love u ponting from india 😘😘😘😚😚

i keep coming back to this match every year

Oh man those legendary player's days

This match is greatest in cricket history Australian captain ricky ponting is great leading and his team score 434 high voltage OMG than south african captain graeme smith and his team fighters cricket history fight done score 438 great ever match well done

I remember in this series in second match Australia were 7 runs nd had lost 4. Wickets . But in decider they came with bang . South Africa chased it . Wonderful Match

Incredible Chasing by South Africa 🇿🇦 438 - 9 But Aussie 🇦🇺 Batsmans are legends Ricky Ponting, Gilchrist, Simon Katich, Hussey, Symonds., Scored Against SA 434 Runs losing only 4 Wickets...

Any excuse to watch Ponting in full flight. Down on one knee driving. Greatest ever ODI this game. Great win SA.

24mins 20 secs Down on one knee driving over extra cover for 6. Even when he's as close to "slogging" as he ever got, he still shows his class. Beautiful but Brutal.

22:38 holy shit. they had 4 of their players as top 4. What a team that was.

Adam gilchrist was the best opener for Australia ,still australia is trying to replace his position so far .

It started as a normal match. But turned into a blockbuster

I really miss that class like Ponting and Tendulkar....

You're ought to upload long highlights when the whole match looks like a highlights package.....still watching in 2021..

Anyone here after SA chased down 259 in T20i? #worldrecord

Even though they lost the game, this was the golden age of cricket Australia

Name of commentator excellent commentary but you cant beat aslam khota nowadays

Sweet recollections. Thanks KZfaq!

Both captains didn't know what was gonna happen next. 😝🔥

For me the best shot of this innings was at 25:00

I remember when my friend asked me if I had watched that Aus has scored 400+ runs. In ODI. I was like it is impossible, must be a test match, and then I watched SA inn chasing the target! what a day it was!

Mike Hussey .. OMG no bowler could ever bowl him out !! Always remained Not Out !

The greatest odi match world had ever watched

Missing Hayden Warne and McGrath, but Gilchrist Katich Ponting Hussey Symonds made runs, and they still had Martyn and Clarke in the sheds. It was such an awesome lineup. No way they could lose this LOL. Great ovation for a stunning innings from Ponting...who says bye bye for the tour to the crowd. 870 runs on the day. Crowd looked to be having a party, then it got even wilder for them.

12- March- 2006 that day 14- April- 2020 Today More than 14 Year's and Still feel like that was Yesterday

Ricky ponting at its best Gream smith greatest captain & destructive opener for SA ever left hander H. Gibbs drunk and drive the balls all around the corner world record creater

GREAT MATCH TILL NOW....

You know what's crazy, this was a series decider too, series was tied 2-2. the t20 before this game was an intense one too, last ball thriller.

Amazing & first greatest inning in Odi Cricket

At that time, I was in 9th class. Now I have been graduated and done my competitive examination. Still, I remember that the joy of South African.

Dear commentator, Please take your words back at 29.43. This inning would never be remembered, but Gibbs will be! I wish u could see not futre but few more hours😁

My favorite cricket game of all time ❤️ cricket 🏏 who still watches this in 2019?

This is the Best odi match of all time. Another great match 1st odi between Pakistan v India Samsung cup 2004

what a great game in cricket history.

we had bought dvd of this match after some months of the match

I am in pakistan and i switched off tv but a frd came runing to me amd shouted turn the damn tv on. And i saw smith and gibs on fire. It was great day for cricket lovers.

Best match in the history of cricket...

I was lucky to see this match live❤

Wohh!! @17:52 commentator predicted the future score accurately 😅👍

In This match Southafrica were 300-4 in 32 overs... When there is no T20 cricket.. 😳😲😲😧

Rickey ponting is one of the great

What a match ..real cricket without pressure

The teams. The players, were on it's best.

What a knock by Ricky Ponting.!!That SIX at 24:52..WOW..Huge!!

Its a match between Australia🇦🇺 & Sou Africa🇿🇦 but cmnts are coming from🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 India,India is filled with full of cricket fans🏏

The view count difference between part 1 (< 2M) and part 2 (37M!) should tell you a lot about how a game of cricket can subvert expectations

India's 321 run-chase in 36.4 overs and this match were one of the best ODI run chases...

uploaded by same time butsecond part is watched nearly 20 times more than this

What a match it was !! I was a kid then ,proud of witnessing such a moment in cricketing history ❤️

Watched live with no hope of SA winning at end of first inning… oh boy it was like watching highlights and last 10 overs … 🙂 just amazing fun 🤩

Winning against that Aussie Lineup. Truly remarkable South Africa!

9:13 what a crowd!!

This is perfect 👌 example of middle order where both the sides have power hitters who can score runs and can takes wickets as well

Evergreen match , concentration ,adtitude, result is success ✌

The historical match

Ricky ponting the great legend produced ever in crickets history

Very nice. I saw hilight again and again

If there was a slip that caught Ricky at 11.15min, we probably wouldnt have had this magnificent game. Crazy crazy game, golden age of cricket for sure

17:47 The Great Sir Tony Greg says, "Ponting has decided go for the world record of 400".. Goosebumps!! How accurately he predicted that 20 overs ago! (That time was before the T20 hit the main scene!)
