What? Ever? Broad question, but here's what I'm thinking off - today anyway...

Funny? Hmmm, I remember Stuart MacGill getting a wicket and tossing the ball over his shoulder in nonchalant celebration and it happened to hit Jason Gillespie in the face as he ran in to congratulate Stuey - he was not expecting a ball to be coming his way. That made me laugh loudly. And Glenn McGrath coming in at #6 for the World XI in the Tsunami match, I couldn't stop laughing. In fact I was still laughing when he holed out 2nd ball.

Favourite serious moment? Probably some from the 06/07 Ashes: the last day at Adelaide, Warney bowling Strauss for 700 wickets, Gilly tonking Monty all over the WACA and the 5-0 vengeance in general.

And the 1999 World Cup semi-final of course. Great game.

Voges' catch last summer was pretty cool too.

Shane Bond destroying Australia in just about every game he played against them.

Obviously Glenn McGrath's half century. I didn't actually see it but watching the highlights and reaction of some of the players made me laugh.

Gillespie first 50 with him doing the cowboy was funny. And whenever McGrath batted was always good for a laugh.

Last Ashes series. That was a massacre.

Other than the obvious, Gilchrist's last hundred proving he still had it in him.

Probably the 06/07 Ashes. After we returned home from England in 05 the team was just getting so much crap, saying we were gone etc. I couldn't wait until the 06/07 series came along, and we were confident we would turn the heat up. It was brilliant to watch. It doesn't get much better then beating the old enemy 5-0.

 

[Biggy]

The last Ashes, 5-0 was brilliant.

Closely followed by Roy shoulder charging that streaker in the one day match against India last year. What a man.

 

[spaga1994]

knowing that if it was a last day of a test match and we needed 10 wickets warney would 90% of the time get the job done
