Beautiful moments on the cricket field

For me, nothing comes close to Andrew Flintoff colsoling Brett Lee after that Ashes loss at Edgbaston. The heartbreak is definitely still being felt by the Aussies because in Ricky Ponting's Ashes diary he talks about an lbw decision that happened in England last innings there that went England way two runs before the end. In other words, he's still searching for those two runs. And that's the kind of game that one relives the rest of their lives thinking what they could have done and how they could have gotten those three runs.

Lee took bump after bump as they kept bowling into his body and for him to endure all that pain and just fall short was incredible. What's more incredible was the picture of all the English players celebrating, while their number one hero wasn't celebrating at all... he went to Brett Lee when Flintoff was the hero of that match.

But that'll be a match Lee and all those Aussies will continue to relive and thinking what they could have done because they came so close.

Agreed 100%, and just for the record, here's both those images.

I think we have a winner?

The bottom one is actually my desktop image (I replaced the Freddie in mid-wicket with arms aloft one a few weeks ago).

I would do that if I wasn't such a noob to making pictures bigger without losing quality.

Craig McDermott for accepting Darrell Hair's decision at the Adelaide Oval in 1993. McDermott was incorrectly given out caught behind, when Australia needed two runs to win the series against the all-powerful West Indies. Not only did he accept the decision, but he didnt whinge about it in subsequent interviews.

Nice avatar - where have I seen that before?

There's bound to be some degradation - even if you use Photoshop to 'artificially' sharpen the image. I just look upon it as 'soft focus'.

I doubt anyone could dispute that.

I'll figure out how to use photoshop someday.
