Narrative:

The first officer landed on runway 28R at sfo. We proceeded to taxiway T turnoff where we exchanged control of the aircraft. As the exchange was happening; we were instructed by sfo tower; 'cross runway 28L expedite crossing aircraft on final.' my first officer acknowledged the crossing and I aligned my aircraft with tango; added power to hurry across; I did my last check of 28L before crossing when I saw an airbus going rapidly down the runway. I immediately brought my aircraft to a stop past the hold short line but before the runway edge lights. The airbus on 28L stopped his aircraft short of delta and called the tower. Sfo tower sent the aircraft around; the airbus on 28L cleared the runway at delta and when the way was clear I taxied across 28L and on to my gate. I remembered later a partial clearance to another aircraft to expedite which I believe was the other airbus on 28L. I am certain that if I had not stopped my aircraft we would have at least collided wingtips. There is not enough room to have an aircraft clear 28L at delta and simultaneously cross an aircraft of taxiway tango.
