Moments(whether a ball, over or innings) in cricket nobody talks about that you love

[kiwiviktor81]

I like, in general, the end of the first over (whether it be ODIs or Tests). There's something about seeing the early nerves settle and the real contest beginning that I enjoy.

Oh, another random one that I doubt I'll ever be able to find again, was Allan Mullally hitting like 16 against Australia in the 98/99 series in the 4th test. It was the first time I'd ever seen a tailender 'hit out' and the barmy army were chanting his name and I remember thinking it was awesome because I had been conditioned to like, expect tailenders to always suck. I talk about this series waaaay too much on this site but it holds such a special place in my heart

I remember that well. He had just come off a few consecutive ducks I think so there was a bit of humour ramping up his walk out to bat. Hit a few 4s iirc, much to everyones amusement.

yeah sounds about right. I wish I could find it. Flem actually hit 70 in the first test(the first test I ever watched) but I stopped watching that innings when Waugh got out

One of moments I really loved when I was younger was at Brisbane during the 06 whitewash McGrath almost got two in a row when Ponting literally went horizontal at full tilt to get this edge. Think he pulled this off next year off Jamie How actually.

Dion Nash's ramp shot that hit the rope against South Africa in 1997/98.

New Zealand were 130/6 chasing 300 and almost got there. Was extraordinary viewing.

3rd Match: Australia v India at Kuala Lumpur, Sep 16, 2006 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

That match was the first time Watto batted like Watto for Aus. I remember us in the tour thread going mental about it, after having already been defending him from the boo-boys for years. Felt pretty good at the time.

whenever Howe is commentating on CW commentary.
