Warne set to retire?

I still vividly remember watching that ball to Gatting.

Just look at how far outside leg stump that pitches and then takes out the top of off stump. It's ludicrous

Makes a mockery of the LBW law that you can't be out if the ball pitches outside leg stump.

[Shaggy]

What about Gatting's expression. He was like "Nope. That didn't just happen. I'm not having that".

Funny cos it's true.

Incredible delivery.

While I was on YouTube I spied this...a great ball, but an even better 'moment'. Even my Aussie mate over here said it was a 'hairs on the back of the neck moment'.

That was a great moment but one which did it for me was watching THAT Flintoff over when he dismissed Ponting and another (was it Gilchrist?). Virtually every ball was unplayable.

I hope we never see his likes again - at least not with a green baggy cap. Go sink a surfboard, fatty.

True legend though. I feel priveliged to have seen him bowl live!

Not only was he legendary on the field, he was legendary off it. Not one of your saccharine sweet sportsmen who live like monks, Warney burnt the candle at both ends and in the middle.

Yep, bloody syooperb. The way I was carrying on, throughout the whole bloody series, was as if I was watching the Reds on telly. Madness.

In fact I must get the DVD. Until now I've always thought "I'd never watch it", but after this disaster down under, I feel I need to see it all again. Summat for the January sales methinks. *pats self on back*

All it is is the C4 "Today at the Test" highlights on DVD (it has a few extras). I got it last Christmas (and you can spot me too if you know where to look ).

[Red Chilli]

I've got the DVD box set for that Ashes triumph and I can tell you I've probably watched more of that in the last 6 weeks than I have of the current Ashes series.

I never watch the celebrations bit though, just the amazing cricketing moments.

[TheStig]

I probably haven't watched it enough, might have to take a look. That reminds me too, haven't watched Istanbul for a while either.

The moment when Kasprowicz "gloved" that ball off Harmisson. Incredible, I can't remember celebrating a cricketing moment like that ever before.
I was running around like a lunatic.

I was in Spain at the time and had a look at the score the night before to see how England were getting on, easy win I thought. Took another look at my phone the next day at 3 and was told "England win thrilling match," opened the page up; "England win by 2 runs" I thought there had been some mistake!

I was gonna say the same thing earlier. For the first time in my life it was as though I was watching football...on my feet all the time, shouting, roaring...bloody mental it was. 20 years of frustration crashing out of us all!

And aye, that Kaspa moment. A rollercoaster of emotions...and seconds before Harmy snared him I was as low as I've ever been watching a Test match.

[Red_Polo]

Spinners bored me. Warne changed all that.

Yeah the same for me. Remarkable cricketer.

Obviously too young for Headingly '81. If you get the chance listen to the crowd as Botham top edges a 4 in the 90s. Like a goal being scored in a football match - that was an amazing day.
