Didn't know where to post this link I saw today, so thought I would pop it in here.

Battle #24

(50)Flitnoff's Sporting Spirit
2nd Test: England v Australia at Birmingham, Aug 4-7, 2005 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

vs

(39)Hoggard Creaming Lee
4th Test: England v Australia at Nottingham, Aug 25-28, 2005 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

30.4 Lee to Hoggard, FOUR, Lee puts in that extra effort searching for the yorker and gets it wrong, the ball is a full-toss and Hoggard calmly drives the ball through cover! The most valuable 4 runs Hoggartd will ever score!

vs

(47)Bumble Being Hit in the Box
2nd Test: Australia v England at Perth, Dec 13-17, 1974 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

"When I batted at Perth I didn't even wear a cap," said Lloyd. "All I had was an apology for a thigh pad." It was in that Test that Thomson struck Lloyd so hard in the groin that his protective box was turned inside out. "You didn't feel fear," he added, "but you did feel a hopelessness at times, a feeling that you couldn't cope."

Hmm... Freddie and Lee is cool in retrospect, but it wasn't until the next day I saw the photo... I don't remember seeing it happen at the time.

Nonetheless... will go for that one. As Freddie said, "It's 1-1, you Aussie bastard."

Flintoff and Lee is the moment I expected to win this thing when I first saw the thread.

The Flintoff-Lee moment. A wonderful moment in sport that was.

Would have had Thommo as second.

 

[Howe_zat]

Flintoff and Lee in the first. A wonderful moment in sport that was.

Thommo in the second.

I believe it's a three-way melée here.

Sorry, have amended accordingly.

Flitnoff and Lee for me.

Freddie and Lee

This.

 

[GotSpin]

Still don't reckon that's the best picture of the end of that match, but I'll vote for Lee and Flintoff anyway

 

[Burgey]

The result of that match really overshadowed a pretty amazing all round effort by Warne.

10-160 odd for the match and that second innings 42 as well. What a cricketer he was.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Freddie and Lee.

Probably the stand out memory of an amazing series.

 

[morgieb]

Wanted to go Thommo as I'm a bitter ****, but have to go Lee/Freddie here.
