Re: Ten greatest moments in Oz sport
Personally, no. 1 was winning back Frank in the Windies in 95, on the back of SRW greatness and Pidg's coming of age.
I'm guessing the America's Cup in September 1983 might be up there.
Other top 10s for me:
1999 Cricket WC semi final v SAf
Cathy Freeman's 400m Gold at Sydney 2000 Olympics
Bradbury's arsey 1000m speed skating Gold at Salt Lake City
John Aloisi's winning penalty v Uruguay in 2005 to take us to the Germany World Cup
Kieren Perkin's 1500 metres freestyle Gold medal at the Atlanta Games in 1996
Thorpey almost mowing down Gary Hall Jr for Gold in the 2004 Athens 4x200 Olympics swim relay

It wasn't Rugby, it was a miracle.

Hardly an "Oz" moment. The thread title is not called "top 10 Banjo flukes".
Otherwise I'd add the Drags' mighty GF win in 2010.

Phurt - nothing unites the rest of the country like NSW failing at something.

The Diva's 3rd Melbourne Cup.
(Back on Bonecrusher v Our Waverley Star. I barracked very hard for the former as the latter was owned full or in part by Russ Hinze.)

Aye a notable event.
SA ruining a great tradition by letting the Billies win won't make the list.
I doubt the Spivs winning the first ** Shield ** will make the List.

The unlovable Indians of 2008 losing the unloseable Test (and still whinging about it 12 years later) after losing those last 3 wickets to Michael Clarke's nude spin is right up there.

Fox had a doco on last night re: Monkeygate and the Bannies are still claiming complete innocence. FFS.
The likes of Sunny, Ravi and farkin Harsha were strident in their defence of India. Their view was that Harbhajan Singh and the whole of India was villified by Aussie claims of racism. FMD.

Re: Ten greatest moments in Oz sport
Absolute disgrace ...
'no, we didn't say anything'
'well we did, but being called a monkey is a compliment'
'actually we just said 'f**k your mother'
'we're going home if you pursue this any further'
story changed every day
