Atherton being run out on 99 at Lords in the early 90s. So desperate to regain his ground, he was almost trying to crawl back.

BTW I'll add the ones I've skipped if people will bother to actually tell me when/where it happened.

Haven't included anything I think is boring or I don't know which Test/which innings it was from.

No Tino Best?!

 

[Spikey]

Tino's too cool for this

I watched India bowls Australia out for 93 - 4th test 2004. - YouTube the other day and frankly gilly...

 

[Daemon]

Was pretty funny watching Hayden get bowled

 

[Spikey]

yeah thought about that too, although i decided his whole struggle to stay on his feet after being bowled was the real highlight

 

[Pothas]

I think we can probably remove guys who are tailenders from the running barring a situation where they needed to see off three balls to draw the Test and came out of the crease to hit a six or something.

I would agree but the Shaun Tait one is just SO good.

Love it.

Summed up his career. Nearly but not quite.

 

[SteveNZ]

Now that I think about it, Haddin has to win. Truly horrific shot that deserved to lead to his side claiming the lowest ever total. I wish we could get rid of it.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Some great contenders, but thinking about it, Chanderpaul getting Steve Waugh with the kind of delivery that your one-legged club leggie would turn red if he landed it.

Ooh yes Worst test wicket ever? - YouTube

 

[Furball]

Can't find the video, but what about the 'mind the windows, tino' incident?

YES.

When/where did this happen?

 

[Top_Cat]

Adelaide, '97.

 

[robelinda]

awful video quality.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Even though a one dayer, and I've never seen video of it, surely Gatting's reverse sweep in India vs Australia during the 87 WC deserves a mention, of some sort.

 

[Daemon]

Spark is only accepting Test matches atm

 

[Satyanash89]

If we do a thread for one-dayers, the winner has to be Keith Arthurton vs Aus in the 1996 WC semis. Far worse than Gatting's reverse
