Watching this now is bringing back memories of watching it live and just wanting day 2 to be out of the way as I was going to day 3.
What a match this was.

Saw the final two days in Switzerland at my sister in laws house.
Quite bizzare.

My first memory is Australia winning the toss and Ricky Ponting deciding to bowl. Mark Nicholas then said Australia would bat just before an ad break.
He hadn't even listened to Ponting, thinking like everyone else that batting first was a no-brainer, especially with McGrath injured.
I didn't believe it, either, until I saw the teams out on the field. I don't think the likes of Lee, Kasprowicz or Warne couldn't quite fathom Ricky's choice, too, seeing their bemused faces.

Need to get this two tonight. Can’t let Gilchrist bat too long
Need to get to the close without losing a wicket now, could get quite tense if they start knocking a few of us over quickly.

Best over ever
15 f***ing years I've waited to hear that commentary (I was in St.Lucia at the time, spending £££s on data by refreshing the bbc sport website on my phone)
15 years.....and at the very moment Ponting bowls that last ball to Flintoff my daughter runs into teh study and starts shouting some nonsense about the cat and I miss the reaction

Ridiculous turn
