Your own "I was there" moments

[Lillian Thomson]

People often claim to be have been somewhere they weren't in the case of a great historical moment. For instance about 100,000 people seem to claim to have been amongst the 5,000 or so on the last day at Headingley in 1981.

What is your own genuine "I was there" moment.

The one I still brag about most is Viv Richard's 189 not out at Old Trafford in 1984 in the 1st ODI of that summer.

 

[MrPrez]

I was there when Guptill actually scored an international century.

I was there when Buffalo Park had a power issue and the match was stopped for an hour as a result.

Saw NZ chase 350 to win an ODI in Hamilton, including Hayden's Australian-record 181* and McMillan scoring NZ's fastest ton.

I was there in 85 when the ball popped up off Lamb's boot for the catch by Gower.

 

[adub]

Saw Steve Waugh get out without adding to his overnight total after the famous 4 on the last ball to bring up his ton at the SCG.

Gilly and Vaughan cracked excellent tons though that day.

[Number 11]

Siddle hattrick in the 2010/2011 Ashes. Pretty much the only positive to take from the whole series. Was made even better when Broad referred it and the crowd ripped into him.
