As far as I'm concerned, I've attended upto 20 Matches.

5) Board Presidents XI vs Australia. (Virat Kohli and Nohit Sharma centuries)
6) India VS Australia 5th ODI, 2009. (Tendulkar 175* & Tendulkar getting 17k runs in ODI cricket:hpraise)

7) Royal Challengers Bangalore VS Kolkata Knight Riders (McCullum 158*)
Got tickets by Luck TBF! The tickets were sold off, but someone had some urgency and gave me the tickets:D.
8) Deccan Chargers VS Rajasthan Royals(Symonds century)
9) Deccan Chargers VS Royal Challengers Bangalore (No nameable records:p)
10) Mumbai VS Uttarpradesh- Ranji Final. (Nohit 100 and Abhishek Nayar 99 + Sachin getting Duck out twice.)
11) Otago Volts VS Cape Cobras (Puttick century)
12) Deccan Chargers VS Somerset Sabers (Laxman half century in T20:sarcasm)
13) NSW Blues VS Trinidad & Tobago (Pollard: 54(18))
14) NSW Blues VS Trinidad & Tobago (CLT20 Final) (Brett Lee 48 and 2-10)

15 & 16) ICL Finals (Both Hyderabad Heroes VS Lahore Badshahs and ICL India VS ICL World.) (Super Over in second final with Hyd Heroes winning it!)

17) India VS Pakistan Hockey Match (players beating up with hockey sticks badly:facepalm).
Thats All:p.

I forgot some, which I witnessed when I was about 4 years old:p.
These are the games which I strongly believe that I saw.

And OMG! How many world records I witnessed;):laugh.
 
I've seen Australia vs Pakistan where Ponting hit 200 and Gilchrist 100, and Australia vs India - the imfamous sydney test. I saw day 3 I think it was where Laxman was firing. Got to see Sachin bat.

Plus a million NSW blues matches.
 
Many. I haven't missed a Boxing Day test in a while, usually go to an ODI at least a year, plus I've been to 2 T20I's. Plus a number of domestic games.
 
India vs Australia at Feroz Shah Kotla , 2009!
 
T20I:(.
Nightmare for me!:(

Getting a ODI itself is something impossible in Hyderabad/ Bengaluru 'cos of BCCI cheap politics:(.

I may go to CWC matches at Bengaluru next year, if time permits:).
 
Hah! Been to every MCG test since 1984, most MCG one dayers since 1985. So about 75 international matches, plus about 30 state matches.

You guys from Australia (Especially from Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart and Brisbane) are damn lucky! You will have One test match per year and at least one ODI per year (MCG has a T20i for sure:yes).
 
Seen a few Somerset one day games as well as a few Notts T20 matches. Went to one day of the 2009 World T20, and seen a couple of England ODIs and a of couple test matches. Best has to be the 2nd day of the 2005 Trent Bridge Ashes test. Saw Freddie and Geraint Jones bash the ball all over the place and then saw the Aussies slump to 90 for 5. An excellent day of cricket which handed us the upper hand in the series.

Shouldn't this be in cricket chat?
 
Not a single one. Have to watch atleast one match (preferably at Chennai's Chepauk when I visit there).

You can put up other games (Footie and Rugby.. many might have attended from Australia & UK:yes).

Thats the main reason I said that I visited a Hockey Match where players fought!

Binnu added 3 Minutes and 18 Seconds later...

Chennai Eh? I visited there to my relatives house, but din't go to IPL match (the match was going on) 'cause of the humidity, for which I got frightened:p. I even bought the tickets, but later changed the decision by selling it to some kids for half rate:p.

But, the people living there are habituated and they won't feel any inconvenience.
 
Too many sporting events to name but notable mentions :

2006 NCAA Rose Bowl - Texas vs USC (in California)

2004 US Grand Prix (Ferrari 1 and 2)

2005 World Series - Astros vs White Sox (1 of the home games)
