Ha Ha thats epic. we should run a fund raiser to buy him some new Carl Zeiss!

Something funny happened with our Cricket team too. They needed 1 run in last ball at a T20 match against Ireland. Everyone was very tensed. Batsman hit the last ball everything he got and run like crazy. Actually both batsman took two runs instead of one .. they were that much excited lol

Well we white-washed them in 3 match series!

Hey Alpenkorps,

Who is your cricket team?
Very tense when a match comes down to the last ball of the game. Glad you won :D

You are so correct

Has there ever been a test match in history where a team won by an innings and a few while only losing 2 wickets themselves?

and here is the answer

Even before South Africa's hammering of England at The Oval there had actually been four previous instances of a country winning a Test while losing only two wickets, the first three all by England. At Lord's in 1924 they scored 531 for 2 and beat South Africa (273 and 240) by an innings. England did it again at Headingley in 1958, scoring 267 for 2 either side of bowling New Zealand out for 67 and 129, and made it a hat-trick at Edgbaston in 1974, with 459 for 2 against India (165 and 216). Then South Africa got in on the act for the first time, making 470 for 2 to beat Bangladesh (173 and 237) at Chittagong in April 2003. There are nine instances of a winning side losing only three wickets, six of them this century all involving Bangladesh (four defeats) and Zimbabwe (two).

So South Africa have avenged the 1924 match!
