I am talking mainly while chasing... if there is any outstanding last over while defending please share it.. I'll start with one http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/455234.html 49.1 Mohammad Amir to Raina, 1 run, bouncer into the body, misses, gets an inside edge onto the body, takes a single 49.2 Mohammad Amir to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, desperation! desperation! Short ball, beats Harbhajan's swing, Raina wants a desperate bye, Akmal with the underarm throw gets him! Under pressure, Akmal has redeemed himself. Raina gave it his all, diving, nay flying full length, but was caught short by a frame SK Raina run out 34 (47m 27b 2x4 2x6) SR: 125.92 What. A. Finish. Has Bhajji been unsettled by that altercation with Shoaib? What a time for PK to come out 49.3 Mohammad Amir to Kumar, 2 runs, Shaoib, what have you done? Is slow to come around from third man, fumbles also, gives them two when all they should have got is one 49.4 Mohammad Amir to Kumar, 1 run, short ball, PK makes room, cuts in front of point, takes a single 49.5 Mohammad Amir to Harbhajan Singh, SIX, Bhajjiiiiiiiii! He has absolutely smoked this one. Gets a length he can get under, and hits it with the sweetest part of the bat, over midwicket. HUGE. And he roars, removes the helmet and roars. As soon as he sees he has hit it clean, he looks towards third man, where Shoaib is, and roars. It is a primal roar, what a blinder from Bhajji, Akhtar makes a V sign, and looks away. The whole team runs out to congratulate Bhaj, Raina is the first to hug him. Spare a thought for Aamer, he bowled really well until now

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64660.html India v South Africa, 1999-2000 At Baroda, March 17. India won by four wickets. Toss: South Africa. India secured the one-day series in a finish far more tense than looked likely during their opening stand of 153 in 25 overs. Ganguly made a riotous 87 with 12 fours and two sixes, and Tendulkar, almost back to his best, cut loose on Ganguly's departure to bring India's target down to 27 from 29 balls when he was third out for 122, his 25th one-day international hundred. Pollock's two wickets in the penultimate over upped the ante but South African nerve failed first, Klusener dropping Robin Singh at mid-on with four runs needed and three balls remaining. :phehehe: Cronje's decision to bat first on an easy pitch had gone against him. Kirsten and Gibbs again got South Africa going, taking 43 from Srinath's first five overs, and Kallis atoned for Kirsten's run-out by remaining unbeaten for 81. His quickfire stands with Benkenstein and Klusener propelled his side to a formidable total. India's captains present and past wasted no time putting it into perspective. Man of the Match: S. R. Tendulkar.

This was another memorable game. fgOtaBMIlZY
I somehow remember that match as being the one that pulled us out of the futility of the '90s. There may have been others, but that's the one I remember.
