434 Over hauled !! Death of bowling fraternity !!

ODI cricket has come a long way, from its early, humble days. There were times when a 250+ score off 50 overs was considered good. Later, it moved to the region of 300+ and 350+ and now, a 434 by the mighty Aussies was overhauled by SA. Where are all the bowlers and what is happening?
We all enjoy the bat to dominate in ODI cricket but do we want this to this extent? My guess - NO. I saw bits and pieces of Ponting's inning as well as Gibbs' live and I have to tell you, the strokes were simply out of the world. SA basically threw caution to the wind since they had nothing to loose. It was a question of either you go for it or not and in Smith, Gibbs, they had a wonderful pair. In the end, Boucher and Van der wath did their part and a world record chase was possible. May be..may be..the game might have been different, if Pollock and Mc Grath would have played but in the end, it proved how much bat is going to dominate in world cricket.
