Hi folks,
This is another one on the great moments in cricket during 2000-2009. These are just moments not performances.
1) Mark Waugh's catch of VVS laxman in the chennai test in 'that series'. India were chasing 150+ and Laxman in the form of his life had already scored 66 ( I think) when he pulled Collin Miller and Mark Waugh dived to his right to catch it. It was just brilliant. It almost won the game for Aus. He took four catches in that innings.

Ricky Ponting's diving catch of SRT was also equally good in that same series.

2)Collingwood's catch of Mathew Hayden during the Ashes series. Great catch at point. He repeated it in the 2007 World cup against WI.

3)Steve Waugh's four of the last ball in the Sydney test against England. Just a cover drive when Hussain brought all the fielders in. Check here.

4) Simon Jones's ball to bowl Clarke in the Ashes. Clarke just left the ball hoping the ball would miss the offstump. It came back and hit the top of offstump. Simply genius! Too sad that he can't play anymore. Poor guy. He injured his leg in his very first test at Gabba when he dived to save a four. Check this out mate. Just awesome

5)Mallinga's four of four in the 2007 World Cup when SA almost proved their chokers tag for the umpteenth time.

6)Lara getting his 400 and regaining his record. Even though he batted far too long it was a remarkable achievement getting back the record after 10 years. I miss his sixes of the spinners when he dance down the track to loft. You can just keep watching. Soumya Paul would say only a Federer forehand can match that beauty.

I agree mate... Brian Lara was stunning to watch. I was such a huge fan of his batting during his peak that I wouldn't watch him bat, lest he should get out!
good post wetty...
i think lara is pretty similar to novak djokovic..very temperamental and sheer talent...
