Beer actually taking a wicket is more suitable for an "I was there moment" tbh.

3 big ones:
1) Last 2 days of the epic Chennai test of 1999. As historic a game as they come, because we were finally getting an India v Pakistan test match after an absolute age. Saw Afridi's hundred, THAT Akram ball to get Dravid (even though I don't remember it), the tragic finish and that goosebump-inducing victory lap + standing ovation
2) 2001 series decider vs Australia.
3) That match at Vadodara infamous for the monkey chants against Symonds. Stand to the right of ours was probably the one from which the loudest taunts were coming from. Needless to say, I've never been so appalled and embarrassed at a cricket match, ever. Simply disgraceful

Whatever it takes!!!
Wow..
1987 Tied Test.
The beginning of the spin trio's domination at home Vs England in 1993.
WC Quarterfinal and the sublime knocks by Harris, Germon and Mark Waugh.
Saeed Anwar 194 - World Record at the time.
1999 Test Vs Pakistan and Sachin's best knock going in vain. And the standing ovation to the Pak team after that.
2001 Series decider and Harbhajan's tour de force.
2004 match where Shane Warne became the World Record holder for most number of wickets, think it was Irfan Pathan who was dismissed. Standing Ovation to Shane that day too.
Viru's amazing run a ball triple.

First day of the ashes in 2005.
Flintoff's titanic spell on 5th morning at Lords in 2009.
Amla bringing up his 300 last summer.
They are probably the standout ones. Almost got to see Tendulkar make his 100th 100 at the Oval but got a hilarious India collapse instead.
Personal favourites though are 3 Hampshire wins in Lords finals, makes a nice contrast to the evil that is a play-off final.

As I mentioned in another thread...
I saw Hadlee's 400th Test wicket. The first bowler in history to take 400 test wickets. The standing ovation he got seemed to last for ages. He walked down in front of the main stand (right in front of me) and waved to the crowd, and Bishan Bedi came out onto the ground to congratulate him personally. It was an awesome moment.

I was there when ken rutherford scored 300 at scarborough in 1986 and ten years earlier when england played the west indies at the same venue. Barry wood bowled by andy roberts, first ball of the game.
