Sure I've posted this before but I remember staying up all night to watch
most of the games in that Aussie tour in the '80s when we won everything down under. One of the ODIs we required 16 or so off the last over. Back then that was game well and truly over - five was a good over, six was incredible - and everyone assumed we'd lost. But Allan Lamb smashed 18 off that over, Border cried, we won.
Nowadays 18 off an over at the death isn't that unusual. But that innings was something special :-)
