I had a half hour chat with Sed back in SA all about it (I couldn't stop him actually).
How you doin' man?

Yeah, you're right about Indians forgetting about their impending victory and looking over at South Africa. I'm an Indian, now in the USA. I still long for the days I used to sit on my couch back in India and watch a gritty test match or a tantalizing ODI. But the RSA vs AUS match made me forget that India won!
Though one thing struck me... India won in little over three days... and both sides actually had to play 2 innings, in a test that was won only in the penultimate session. And then there's the ODI in question. Isn't batting getting a bit too fast nowadays? We need something to even the odds in favor of the bowlers i guess. Maybe load the cricket ball, so that it dips throughout the match. Or make the ball so that one side has a natural propensity to wear out compared to the other. More chance of reverse swing. I have a few words on my blog about this.
Well, whatever happens, kudos to the Springboks for the best run chase ever!

I can imagine it sucked not being in SA when that game took place.
