Just to let you know, somebody already tried a 30 day Cricket thread but it got closed down because of the potential for a massive amount of spam

I only checked in the cricket discussion section so I didn't see the other one

day 01 - your favourite match - England vs Australia - The Oval , 2009 Ashes

From Trott's debut century to Broad's fivefa till Freddie's runout throw , all were just fascinating to watch .

These two games would always go down as my 2 favourite matches of all-time pretty easily:

AUS vs SA 99 WC semi-final:

WI vs AUS @ Barbados 99

 

[AbhishekS]

day 01 - your favourite match - India in Sri Lanka, Test Series (2008) - 2nd Test at Galle - Scorecard

This is the reason,

Of course he has played several big innings than 201, but this one indeed was special and resulted in a victory for India by a huge margin (170 runs).

Day 1 - Favourite match:
Hmm, War's already mentioned one of my all time favourites: Aus v SA semi of 1999 WC, but I don't think it quite matches the Adelaide Ashes Test of 2006/07 in my personal standings. I was hanging out for a match like that - well really a day like that. I'll save up my others for some future days

 

[Haarithan]

day 01 - your favourite match - England vs Australia - The Oval , 2009 Ashes

day 02 - your least favourite match - West Indies vs England - Sabina Park , Feb 2009

Well , England were just painful to watch there , especially in their second innings where they got bundled out for 51 . A first innings lead of 81 for the WI made me expect a cracker of a test match , before this happened

 

[Iridium]

day 01 - your favourite match - South Africa v Australia, 5th ODI, Johannesburg
day 02 - your least favourite match - All matches from New Zealand in Bangladesh 2010

 

[Howsie]

Day 1 - Favourite Match

3rd ODI: New Zealand v Australia at Hamilton, Feb 20, 2007 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Easily the best game I've ever attended. There isn't a chance in hell I'll ever forget that match. From Matty Hayden's 181 to New Zealand being 4/40 chasing 346 to win, it was the type of game I'll probably never see again.

Day 1 - Favourite Match

India v Australia - 2nd Test of the BG Series at Eden Gardens in 2001

[AbhishekS]

day 01 - your favourite match - India in Sri Lanka, Test Series (2008) - 2nd Test at Galle - Scorecard
day 02 - your least favourite match - IPL 2009, 1st Semi-Final: Delhi Daredevils v Deccan Chargers at Centurion - Scorecard

 

[sifter132]

Day 2: Least favourite match:
I'll go with this one:
28th Match: Australia v West Indies at Manchester, May 30, 1999 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

First 10 overs was interesting with some quality bowling from McGrath, particularly the ball to castle Lara. After that though... The West Indies batting was god awful for starters. They made 7/90 in about 38 overs after Lara got out, and there were some terrible dismissals.

Then to top it off Australia deliberately tanked the run chase trying to manipulate the Net Run-rate situation. They took 40 overs to get the 111, even Adam Gilchrist slowed down (21 from 36). Not only was a poor tactic sportsmanship wise, but it was dreadfully boring to watch. Poor day for cricket.

Day 2- least favorite match- No matches stand out as my least favourite match so I'll just do this one as it was disapointing and annoying for the match to be abandoned.

YouTube - WORST PITCH OF ALL TIME - JAMAICA 1998 West Indies v England 1st test

Day 1: The Ashes test at Cardiff that Jimmy and Monty saved and set up the series for England.

Day 2: Any limited overs cricket and especially the IPL
