Most Memorable Sporting Moment

[Langeveldt]

- Allan Donald v Mike Atherton at Trent Bridge (1998)

- England 2 for 4 at Johannesburg (1999)

- Makhaya Ntini's 6-60 and Allan Donald's 300th test wicket v NZ at Bloemfontein

- Personally, my 80* at number eight against Richard Huish college was my most memorable sporting moment, along with my 34 and 6-28 in the same match against Blagdon Hill.. (which we got stuffed in)

 

[PY]

England 4 Holland 1.

Total spanking.

England 2 Scotland 0.

Paul Gascoigne scoring that masterful goal will stick in the memory forever.

Manchester United 2 Bayern Munich 1

Anyone who knows about this game will not need to know why I've picked it.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Kelly Holmes' Gold medal tonight will live long in the memory.

Don't think I'll ever forget any of those penalty shootouts, either.

 

[Langeveldt]

What about England 5 - 1 Germany?

 

[Neil Pickup]

That too. Nor being there for Nasser's final glorious 100.

 

[Langeveldt]

As for sporting memories I remember but would rather forget

Allan Donald at Edgbaston in 1999.

SA's WC exit in 2003 in the rain

AAD pulling up for the final time against the Aussies in Jo'burg

Getting hit for 5 consecutive sixes in a prep school match

Southgate and Batty's penalty misses

Stephen Fleming's 100 against SA in the WC 2003. I can't remember seeing another batsman looking as invincible as Fleming did that night.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Norway 2 Brazil 1 fades pretty quickly in that, I'll guess.

Still, we'll live long on knocking England out of the 94 World Cup.

*Brian Lara's 153 n.o against Australia in 1999 to win the 3rd Test.
*In that same Test, Courtney Walsh going out there to bat.
* When Jamaica qualified for the World Cup '98 after drawing with Mexico.
*When Hank Aaron hit his 715th homer.
*When the Atlanta Braves won the '95 World Series.
*Whenever the Atlanta Braves win their division which is now heading for the 13th straight time this season with a sizeable lead and just over a month to play.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Not the crazy commentating moment, then?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

We were already knocked out by then. And I was about -6 years old, too.

 

[roseboy64]

How can you be -6 years old?

 

[Jamee999]

He wasn't born.

 

[roseboy64]

I guess......

 

[Son Of Coco]

Strongest team my @rse!

well, we were 2-0 up against the best team you could put on the paddock at half-time.

I think Kieran Perkins Gold in Atlanta 1996 for the 1500m swimming is one of my personal favourites. Considered no chance after just scraping into Lane 8 for the final he came home to take out the gold. I had to watch whatever crap came on TV for 15 minutes after the race so that my parents didn't see me crying! haha
