What a great series it was, I think Aussies won it 4-3 in a neck to neck fight. Michael Bevan, what a player! Watching cricket was so exciting in those days. ODI cricket in its peak. its painful to see ODIs and test matches are over shadowed by tasteless and over rated t20 cricket these days..

Michael bevan was real odi magician batsman,,, love u bevo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beating a strong SA side in SA, Aus were in the nascent stages of their world domination. I used to root for the aussies during this period, because they were the only ones who beat SA regularly when SA were a very strong side. I have literally seen / followed the rise of Aus as a world beater. There were only a few instances when Gilchrist played purely as a batsmen in the Aus ODI team, such was his batting poweress.

Lost so much sleep during this series as a 14 yr old. Highlights don't do it justice, but at the time it was like chasing 400. Beven was clinical. A truley underrated white ball player. He would have made a bucket load in the T20 era

The more and more I come back to this kind of cricket content, the stronger my hatred for T20 "cricket" gets lol.

In those days only bevan had 50 avg in odi, it is very difficult to maintain 50 avg in odi becoz of fielding rules & larger boundary Nowadays it is easy to get in 50 avg in odi because of shorter boundary, free hit, field restrictions...

Hansie Cronie was very tough guy, aggressive, never surrender guy in that period. Compared to mild but disciplined Steve Waugh. Sad endings happened with him. Why did he get involved in match fixings, Only God knows.

Allan donald nightmare of Indian batsmans....

This was one of the toughest run chases, I watched this live when i was little. the ball was getting old and it was getting harder to find the boundary but Bevan and Waugh ran hard and powered Aus to one of their toughest victories ever

High quality teams, top class context between batting vs bowling.

I feel we would never see so so formidable south African team again than this team.only Warne was the difference between this two teams.

Something about the 90's and the early 2000's though, be it cricket, football or wrestling. If you're one of those who followed WWF (now E) during that era would understand what I'm saying.

Really, Waugh brothers were South Africa's Achilles heel in both Odis and test matches. SA could just not win against Aus. They could just win a few battles here and there but the war was always won by Aussies. Infact , some of the South African players were afraid and didn't enjoy playing the Aussies, like Cullinan, Donald etc

South Africa was quite a strong side during those days. They had depth in bowling and batting due to world class allrounders. But Australia had strong specialist players, which is why they were a little more organized, and eventually they managed to have psychological hold against South Africa and many other teams as well. They always knew how they will win, but in case of South Africa it was always confusion during big matches and they end up choking, because they were never sure what contribution each player was going to make.

The thing is I don't really put Sachin on a pedestal like the case with most (emotional and naive) Indian cricket fans and he certainly isn't my, like top 5 or whatever, but it would be so unfair to fault him for stuffs like that considering how mid the Indian side was most of the time back then.

Even before I watch this I am going to say..."No. Not the biggest fight in a series decider. Gonna see your 1997 final, and raise you the fifth and final ODI in 2006/2007 series in South Africa. 438 game? Anyone? EDIT: Nope. Not even close. 438 is it.
