When Michael Holding presented Ricky Ponting the winner's cheque at the last world cup he referred to the sum being $20 Thousand instead of $2 million. Ricky Ponting corrected him by sayoing something like 'I think you will find its $2 million, mate'.

Not after SA income tax it wasn't. Holding got it right.
For me, it was back in the 80s when 'top comic' from Celebrity Squares, Lenny Bennett, was fielding on the boundary in a Pro-Am charity game. He goes to catch a Botham skier but with his arms wide apart like he was about to be crucified. Needless to say when he attempted to clap his hands on the ball as it arrived he was about 3 seconds too late, and it duly removed most of his teeth. Great telly.
In the Last SA - Pakistani 20/20 match where Boom Boom Afridi got hit in the nuts and then followed in another game by a spectator singing Boom Boom go back to your room to Afridi and him loosing his cool. (Classic)
I think it was in the 2005 Ashes, can't remember which Test. Steve Harmison got bowled by Shane Warne and the look on his face was priceless, he had no idea what just happened as he was totally bamboozled by the delivery.

The better one was when he got bowled by Warne thought he was going to get stumped so he stretched back and fell over like a two-legged tripod.
