Nice signature there buddy . I will give you the top ten Aussie moments as voted by ME [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

1) Australia 2 wins the America's Cup (and there was much rejoicing)

2) Ian Thorpe gets overtaken by Gary Hall at the 50 m mark of the relay, then in a blinding finish Thorpie touches him out to win (4x100M Sydney 2000)

3) A Horse called Spinning Rhombus from New Zealand elects to go through rather than over the obstacles, demolishing the showjumping course and fails to clear bugger all fences (think it was Barcelona), handing the Australians Gold in the Team Equestrian Event.

4) Alan Donald & Lance Kluesner snatch an improbable draw and defeat for the South Africans in the last cricket world cup with a "Yes, No, Sorry"

5) That underarm delivery (who's repentatnt - not me any more )

6) Pat Rafter and Mark Phillipousous in the US open tennis final (win win situation)

7) Greg Norman's crash in the 95 (I think) Masters - we all tuned in expecting that THIS TIME it had to happen - how wrong we were.

8) Alan Langer's fairytale comeback in State of Origin III this year (Rugby League)

9) MCG World Cup game against Iran - DEVASTATION

10) Unheralded Aussie becomes World Darts Champion - breaks Engish stranglehold .

I thought about including something from an Ashes series, but the results on thise have been pretty much bland and predictable since TV was invented [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] .
