Bloody funny stuff! Already iconic.

Sucked in you still have to get another over in wanker

What's going on???

Was just over 2 minutes to go to lunch and Broad had 1 ball to go so he stopped and took off his shoe and dicked around trying to ensure that was the last over.
The ump showed common sense and still made them bowl it

Melbourne was the summer of 82/83 right?
Border, badly out of form batting with Thompson, put on almost 80 for the final wicket and fell just three runs short.
Also remembered for the stupidest commercial break ever. They decided to show two ads instead of the usual one, by the time they switched back to the cricket the game was already over. Thommo edged it to slips on the first ball of a Botham over. All we saw were the celebrations live, then a replay of what'd happened during the commercial break.

Lucky that curry muncher saw that inside edge with the Poms worse than desperate appeal!

Not if you lived in the country and got to watch it on the ABC.

Best TV coverage ever

He's actually a good umpire.
