SPORTS FACT#19

(MUST READ)

Today is a memorable day for SOUTH AFRICA

Exactly 22 years ago, i.e., 10 November 1991, SOUTH AFRICA cricket team made a comeback to the Cricket after 21 years ( they played there last game before 1991 in 1970).

South African cricket was isolated from the rest of the world for 21 years - from 1970 to 1991 - because of the apartheid policies of the former government. Isolation came at a time when the country could fairly claim to be the top test-playing nation in the world after the Springboks had pummeled the powerful Australians 4-0 with ease.

 Indian people lined the streets of Calcutta in 1991 to welcome the South Africa team as it undertook its first tour of the country. When the first ODI took place a few days later at the famous Eden Gardens, the 100,000-seater was packed to the rafters. Previously known as the Springboks, the Proteas, after an initial settling-in period, adapted surprisingly quickly to the demands of the international game in 1991.

They lost their first two one-day internationals to India in India, but in the third match they showed what they were capable of, chasing down an imposing victory target of 288 in 50 overs, to win by eight wickets with 3.2 overs to spare.

SPORT FACT# 18

The longest cricket match took place in 1939 between England and South Africa, after 14 days it ended with a tie.

The game started on 3 March 1939 and play continued on the 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 13th and the 14th. Play was scheduled for the 11th, but none was possible because of rain, giving 9 days of actual, and 10 days of scheduled play. By the evening of 14 March England were 316 and 654 for 5 chasing South Africa’s 530 and 481 needing just 42 more runs for victory. But England needed to leave Durban on the 15th to catch their boat home, so, despite being a ‘timeless’ Test, a draw was agreed. England’s 654 is the highest score ever recorded batting last (beating the next highest by over 200 runs) and is a record that is likely to never be beaten.

Anything like that

For sports fans, sports are the epitome of hard work work and dedication. To get to the pinnacle of their sport, even the most naturally gifted athletes have to give it their all.
Yes, we watch sports for the excitement, but even more so, we watch it for the drama. There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a team come back to win that 4th series game after being down 0-3, a comeback after fans have already started to leave the arena, or a fighter getting off the canvas to score a come from behind knock-out. Sports are about those incredible moments where sheer human will and desire overcomes the odds. These are the moments we remember.
