The second test of the 2005 Ashes. Or specifically to the morning warm-ups before the first day. I'd grab McGrath and tell him to do his warm ups inside.

Would like to go to the New Years' Day one-dayer in 1995-96 between Australia and the Windies. I distinctly remember seeing it on TV as a five-year-old and revering Bevan ever since, even though I didn't even know who he was at the time. Didn't appreciate either that he'd just bailed Australia out of the deepest, most cavernous **** imaginable - carried the side from 6/38 to 7/74 to 9/173 with a four off the last ball to win by one wicket. YouTube doesn't do it justice. And Reiffel got MotM, the ****.

I'd like to see it again.
Remains the best ODI i've ever seen.

I can't imagine people wanting to go back to games they've already seen! So many amazing moments, Bradman hitting 300 in a day, the tied Test, Spofforth vs WG Grace you could go on forever.
 
Yes,I didn't know about that.The performance is such hard to believe that I thought no one else would've done it.Sometimes,I wonder how geat Botham would've been considered if he maintained the averages which his first 4 years of international cricket.He was never anything special as a batsman in that period(played some great innings but failed a lot as well) but during that small bowling peak has to be one of the greatest ever.I think amongst modern day bowlers,Only Imran (1978-1988) & Waqar(1989-1994) have better & longer bowling peaks than Botham(1978-1982).Other than,only Lohmann & Barnes have better peaks but cricket in those days was much different to what is played today(then they had uncovered wickets & almost always bowling friendly conditions.And Imran is the only to have better peak as an allrounder than wheher u consider Imran's last 51 tests(1982-1992) where he averages 51 as batsman & 19 as bowler or 1980-88 where he averages 40 with the bat & 20 or less a batsman too.
