175 to win ENGLAND MIRACLE WIN MCG Boxing day Ashes test 1998 99 

What made this match awesome was the audacious celebrations by Darren Gough after the fall of the last wicket.. Respect from India

Bill Lawry loves commentating on good test match cricket, doesn't matter if it's Australia or the opposition!

Missing that level of commentary in today's era...

That catch by Ramprakash is one of the all time best

I think for me this is the best boxing day match I ever watched. Remembering how good the English were when it came to losing. It was hard to be an England supporter right through the 90s.

Iconic test victory for England...excellent commentary....we miss them

I was in the air flying from Manchester to Sydney for the last Test match when this happened. England were struggling at the MCG when I took off so was fully expecting we'd have got beat again when I landed so I was absolutely made up when I arrived at Sydney airport and found out we'd won when I saw a man holding a newspaper with a headline of 'NOT AGAIN' with a pic of a clench-fisted Dean Headley as the Aussies had yet again failed to chase down a small target in the 4th innings. One of the great Test matches.

I was there! Memorable day.

Marvelous game, excellent commentary by bill lawry, Tony Greg , richie benaud

So good to relive this, cos I was there that day !!!

I remember this match like yesterday. Dad watched the match on Telly and told me the local pub that morning was full and no one left for hours. Eh, when Cricket was fun even though we used to lose pretty much every match and series that mattered.

Not ashamed to say I was there on the pitch at the end! What a win…

Outstanding bowling by headley and daren Gough

Purely an entertaining Medley by Headley ✌, additionally, Gough joined the party certainly 🕺

All set up by the catch from Ramprakash. Brilliant commentary as well. “ hail Headley they’ll be crying “!!

One of the Barmy Army's greatest victories..

Nice to see the boundary ropes on the perimeter. Gives the fielders a chance.

I was lucky enough to be in the ground for this. I'm actually in the video in my Arsenal shirt a few times.. Such an amazing memory and one i will cherish for ever. We all piled on the pitch at the end. If only iphones were around in those days..

I watched this in Capetown of all places! I went to my brother's wedding a week earlier (his funeral 5yrs later, love u bro!!) Anyway it was a memory I'll have with me forever!!! We were a great side then and funnily enough I'm listening now to us play India in the odis, one all with this one to play and we're gonna lose I'm sure, sadly!!!

Remember this MCG test for one & only Darren Gough. Still that last wicket celebration is fresh in our minds. Watched from India.

Bill laway made a cricket match more exciting . Tony and Richie were icing on the cake . Brilliant match

I remember chasing after balls as kids when we played cricket, imagine playing against these 2 lads... Gavin Haynes and Dean Headley!!!!

Thanks for that. Great England. Win!

Hesssss got em, hes gonnnnneeeee its 8 for 160!!! Some commentary!

Headley and Darren Gough....luv Darren's action

Although England lost this series, there wasn't that much of a gap, compared with some later series

5:50...plumb LBW & as always....Mr. Bucknor misses out🤪 & Mr. Headley misses Hatrick

Gough was truly the master of the yorker.

Bucknor was the reason they brought in DRS.

Truly great days of cricket

Mark ramprakah has pulled of a magic.👍👍

I was at this game at the MCG in 1997.. The Barmy Army were all grouped together. Amazing

Brilliant comeback from Headley and Gough. Childhood memories.👍

Just love Bill Lawry's little chuckle when he names the incoming batsman

Missing those days commentaries

My cousin made his debut for England in this match and the first day was completely washed out by rain

I love it when the Aussies bottle it

Wonderful memories Wonderful commentary. Surprise victories always better.

I live in Melbourne and drew the short straw to have to work between the Xmas and New Year period. Boxing Day was rained out and so I was desperate to see some cricket. Dec 29th and I came down as soon as work finished to see what I thought would be an easy win. Steve Waugh was atrociously selfish and to this day my wife (who was with me) has no time for him. Poor Nicholson played his only Test in this match. Waugh insisted on the extra half hour and so I thought surely Gough and Headley would tire. The last session lasted almost 4 hours, the longest in Ashes history. After we lost I was so angry I punched a ticket booth on the way out ! Never forget this day.

Daren Gough -my all time favourite player.

English bowler has bowled according to there game plan line and length so accurately

Australia was a crazy team back then…Unbeatable…..

Arguably England's best test win of the 90s, either that, Adelaide in the previous Ashes or The Oval against South Africa with Malcolm's 9-for.

Purely opinion: England weren’t that bad a side. The WIndies and Australia were just exceptional.

Watta turnaround!! And Gough's madness in the end...test at its best.

Those was golden days of cricket..

Love the sound of the ball hitting those old stumps.

What a screamer from Ramps! Ty x

Bill Lawry increasing giggles with each incoming Australian batsman. Good thing cricket teams dont have 15 players otherwise he'd have ended up rolling around the floor of the commentary box in full on hysterics with his co-commentators looking on with concerned frowns!

How bad Steve bucknoor umpire plumb lbw he is give not out

Was the Australian way of taking a single early when available and exposing the tail for the rest of the over employed in this Test?

Beautiful ❤️

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😍

Not only the match but brilliant commentary made this humdinger much interesting .....Today's many commentators makes the thrilling games looks slightly off colour because of their dull comentary

Legendary commentary 😘

This is what they should play to the players just before they walk out tomorrow.

Amazing win No more to say really

Really great test match

Wow what a match...test cricket at best

Tong Greig: "Isn't he (Bucknor) a wonderful umpire"? I wonder if he wanted to recall that stmt. RIP Griegy

LOL Tony Grieg ...."Isn't he an excellent umpire". No Tony, Bucknor was a shocker

That might be the start of something special,good anticipation

The subtitles are gold.

Richard Headley was the most underrated bowler

bucknor the legend

Dean Headley was a fine pace bowler. His performance for England in that short span between 97- 99 was better than many so called stalwarts.. Dont know why he had such a short career!!!

Dean Headley was my best bowler as ah young boy always getting wickets him bad as rass

Watched this live and clearly remember Steve Waugh standing on the non-striker’s end

The Fact is Indian's Always Denied Australya's Win .Mark Ramprakash' s excellent catch cause the collapse of Australya

Bill Lawry on fire!!!!!!!!!

I flew from Melbourne back to Sydney on the last day so missed it!

I saw tis live.. Simply pulsating..

A powerfull jolt given at 103/3 Later waugh just seen slowly sinking his ship. And captain didnt abandon the ship till it sink...

Darren Gough what a aggressive bowler he was

Ramprakash op catch

Darren Gough 😘

Let's not forget Hicks catches.

The only joy ,they had in the whole tour , absolutely flogged in the series 1😁😁😁😁

But for a dodgy 3rd umpire call against slater in the last game we'd have probably won that too and drawn the series

This match was absolutely majestic

Lehmann was one weakness in that aus side

Love the 🦆.

Commentator said after headley took the wicket c, has he potential to do it for England , and he did

Above all there was Bill Lawry in commentary box

Stev Buckner is the wrost umpire ever in the Criket History

Wish today’s commentators were like this. Get excited if something exciting actually happens, otherwise shut up.

Celebration at English camp

Bill lawry at his best 👍

Gough at his best....cleaning up the tail

That's Heddy

Damien Fleming out LBW twice in two balls 🤷‍♂️

Aussie team choke at the end Well done team England

Just watching this ahead of first day of the 2021 test. England batters have gotta bat and the fielders have gotta catch. Then the bowlers might just get a taste of blood in the water and who knows?

Steve Bucknor reminds me of a Las Vegas slot machine

4:28 "Good decision as always by Steve Bucknor" Pfffft...

Upload the 2002/03 Orange🧡 Ashes series highlights where Australia🇦🇺 crushed the Poms🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in the first 4 tests to go 4-0 up. Really miss those tests.

"recorded on my yoghurt pot"

McGrath LBW 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Steve bucknor !!???

Today's commentator Lord sanjay manjrekar Ajit agarkar Deep das gupta Poor poor commentator I don't even keep the sound of tv.
