It was a One day but provided two miracles.South Africa chased down an improbable target of 434 to down the Aussies and win the ODI series at the Bull Ring.Ricky Ponting is a great batsmen probably the greatest at present but as a captain he has many dubious records,Sunday was just another addition to his long list.He became the first captain whose team couldnt chase the lowest total in test cricket(103 aginst India in Mumbai ).
- First Aussie captain to lose the Ashes in the last decade and a half.
- First Aussie captain to lose to Bangladesh in an ODI.
- He couldnt bowl out SouthAfrica in over 130 odd overs , first time it has happened to an Australian team in the last 20 years.
- Couldnt defend 331 against New Zealand and 434 against South Africa.
- First captain to lose a ODI series to South Africa.
The way things are going he may become the first captain to lose a test series to the Proteas and who knows maybe even a test to Bangladesh.
