05 - The Greatest ODI match of all Time?

This last Sunday a great One-day international cricket match took place between Australia and South Africa. This match is considered to be the greatest match ever played by some and to others its one of the greatest. In the match a total of 872 runs were scored by the two sides. Australia posted 434 runs on the board the first time over 400 runs were scored in an ODI innings; in reply South Africa fought back and won the match scoring 438 runs. The match was a run fest, to put it better an orgy. What led to such unbelievable scores, was it the dead pitch, poor bowling from the teams, great batting or just sheer luck? Whatever it was it seems that the future of bowlers seems bad. Nowadays in most matches the runs scored in an innings exceed 300. It seems in the future all teams will be filled with batsmen.
It was an interesting and spellbinding match but a one-sided match (read batting vs. bowling) will not be so much good to watch once it becomes an every match sight.
