The South African cricket team faced the daunting task of chasing down Australia's total of 434 runs in a limited 50 over match. There was tension in the dressing room as batsmen blamed bowlers and vice versa. However, Jacques Kallis' statement that "they're 15 runs short; this is a 450-wicket" united the team, making them see themselves not as separate roles but as one team. Inspired, South Africa went on to win the match, demonstrating the power of unity.

5.  The epic cricket match played between Australia and
South Africa on March 12th, 2006 will go down in
history of cricket as to how united a team can do
wonders. In the match Australia batted first in the
limited 50 overs match, and scored 434 runs for the
loss of four wickets. A never scored total in 50 overs.
South Africa was now to face the daunting task of
bettering it. It is said that in the dressing room the
South African team was frozen and there were icy
undercurrents between batsmen and the bowlers, for
the batsmen felt that the bowlers didn’t do their job
well, and the bowlers felt that the batsmen as fielders
didn’t do their job well. Captain Graham Smith was in
a state of shock.

6.  It was amid the gloom that Jacques Kallis, with a
straight face, chipped in with words to the effect of
“OK, guys, I think the bowlers have done their job.
Now it’s up to the batsmen. They’re 15 runs short; this
is a 450-wicket,” that the other players came out of
their shells.”Jacques Kallis’s statement had an
immediate effect on each and every South African
team member that they can’t view themselves as
batsmen or bowlers, but as cricketers belonging to the
South African national cricket team. South Africa went
on to win the match.
