Your favourite moment of 2005

[Pratters]

There's been cricket that wasn't the Ashes?

Yep my feelings exactly.

The Ashes have been so great this year it supercedes every thing else by a BIG margin.

I am not going to go into specific moments of 2005 though as I havent watched a lot of cricket.

I did like a lot from the cricket this year apart from the Ashes -

Building up of Pakistan as a strong team - some thing they always have had potential to become but the consitency was never shown.

Shoaib Akhtar taking steps to finally justify himself.

Windies showing promise to become a strong team in 3-5 years.

India, RSA grouping after low phases in their performance as a team.

There have been several negatives this year too but I am a man of positives. Little use of talking a lot of negative stuff.

Oooh, yes, good choice. Add to that the way he reacted Who wouldnt be ****ed off (or as he called it "a little dirty") if they connected that well and it was worth nothing? Loved it, shoulda been worth 8.

That was quite controversial...I loved the Telstra Dome as a cricket ground before that.

I'd have to say Lara breaking Border's record and Dwayne Bravo's performance vs Australia. Chris Gayle's double century was good also. Also, the Ashes. That was quite a bit of fun watching Australia get beaten.

Lara and Sachin's records within a month of each other was awesome.


And of course, the Ashes.

Knowing that the Ashes didn't count because the English team is a bunch of pansies.

Knowing whos tipsy and posting bull all over the place isnt one of my favourite moments of the year.

HUH??

Mine would have to be the final morning of the Multan test. I remember thinking before the day started that even if we lose by a small margin, I'd be happy, but kept hoping for a miracle, which is what we got. I remember trying to make my father believe that it actually happened the next morning.

Also, Shoaib Akhtar's delivery to Giles that knocked out the middle and leg stump. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. I have picture of it posted on my toolbox at work

 

[Run like Inzy]

Not really a moment but the return of Shoaib Akthar has to be one of the best for every Pakistan fan. (Oh and of course winning both the India series in India and England at home come 2nd and 3rd)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Maybe not the best, but Rudolph's century was a special innings.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

HUH??

I believe he is talking about when Hussey hit the roof of the Telstra Dome in Melbourne against the World XI.
