Australia vs Pakistan, Hobart, 99-00

Australia vs New Zealand, ODI, 29/1/02 MCG

Of the ones already mentioned, the ones that stick in my mind are:

India vs Australia, 2nd Test 2001

England vs Australia, Headingley 1981

And Australia WC 1999, after scraping into the Super Six. Especially the final over of that SA match.

Aus and pakistan in hobart is the one that really stands out the most!

It's my favourite too.

I love this bit of the scorecard:

5-126 (Ponting, 54.4 ov), 6-364 (Langer, 113.3 ov)

I was working for Clints Crazy Bargains at the Head Office. The CEO called everyone (including the blokes working in the warehouse) into the lunch room so that they could all watch the last few overs.

Rubbish. I've got the footage in question and having watched it again, at full speed and with all the ikes turned up, there wasn't a nick to be heard and obviously no deviation. The footage also showed the snick-o-meter and the nick was barely picked up at all so there's no way in hell the umpire would have heard it.
