Top 10 cricket moments (I've only included one from that time when we won the Ashes for the first time in 16 years. It's strange, because that series meant the most to me, but I think I wasn't as crazy-focused on it as I was those series where I was supposedly studying for exams etc etc, and hence, I have more "moments" from that period, although they would perhaps objectively be considered less momentous):

1. Day 4 at the Oval v South Africa, 2003: Flintoff's 95, Harmison's coming-of-age, HATSWAP

2. Harmison's 7-12 at Kingston

3. Trescothick and Vaughan scoring 50 in 5 overs (I think at Old Trafford) to beat Sri Lanka and win the series 2-0, 2002. It was the evening before one of my GCSE RE exams, and I totally failed to get any work done.
