My god did I underestimate the batting prowess of the Australian bowlers. What was a healthy margin of over 100 runs for England to bowl out the last couple of players was soon whittled down by Warne and Lee until bizarrely Warne trod on his own wicket and then Lee and Kasprowicz.
But England maintained the pressure right to the knife edge conclusion that saw Harmison bowl a delivery that Kasprowicz edged into the diving hands of Geraint Jones to give England a thrilling victory.
Probably the best match of cricket that I can recall ever seeing, I’m still buzzing from the exhilaration.
