If you could watch one match...

[Bijed]

If you could be transported back in time to watch one single match from each format of the game, which would they be? For the purposes of this, we'll say that any knowledge of the match you have is removed during the time travel, so you're watching it 'fresh', so to speak?

Would have loved to see the 3-peat

Yeah the WC 1983 is really what its all about. I actually had watched the 87 tied test but I would have loved to have been older than 3 when watching it. Like if I was 20, I would have appreciated it so much. Such a crazy game from every aspect.

Australia-NZ 1985 1st test at the Gabba

My answer too. So many reasons why. Hadlee, Crowe, Reid, the ability to sit on the bank with a chilly bin of your own piss (I presume you could do that back then), just the whole package.

I would say the 1st Test at Brisbane between Australia and West Indies in 1960. Even if I didn't know the game was to be tied, it would be great to see such luminaries as Sobers, Worrell. Kanhai and Hall lining up against Simpson, McDonald. O'Neill, Benaud and Davidson.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Any of Bradman's longer innings. A kind of experience very few people alive have managed.

 

[Red Hill]

McCabe's 232.

It was a tremendous game of cricket. I was fortunate enough to able to attend that match for every day's play

Which was the most gripping day of play you'd say?

I saw his 180 odd againt the Poms after the war Not as good as 2 and 3 hundred scores but just magnificient tot watch

 

[JBMAC]

Which was the most gripping day of play you'd say?

Obviosly the last 2 hours when everything hung in the balance but Norm O'Neills 180 odd was great to see
