Curious that sunilz didn't list the 36 all out game. I found it pretty compelling :ph34r:

Why ?
IND had no business winning the Test in 2003 after being 80/4 in 1st innings while Australia scored 550+ . How many people would have guessed Dravid/Laxman partnership and Agarkar taking 6 wkts in 2nd innings?

Similarly in 2012 , no one gave SA a chance of drawing the Test on Day 5 . I thought Australia will win by lunch on Day 5.

It wasn't a test but I remember Shane Bond destroying the Aussies there on "Invasion Day" (Aus Day) 20-something years ago in an ODI. Amaaaaazing inswinging yorker to Gilchrist.

I'm pretty sure "Amazing Adelaide" is literally just Ch9 marketing at work anyway. I don't remember it organically being a thing before Ch9 started spruiking DVDs of it.

Which reminds me, there aren't too many better examples of the ineptitude of cricket boards in marketing the game than that DVDs, Blu-Rays and purchasable replays of the full 5 (or whatever) days of Tests or important games aren't available for purchase. People would trip over themselves to buy those. Say what you like about Channel 9 but they understood this **** implicitly back in the day.
