With all the talk about the Adelaide Oval redevelopment i have been thinking back about some of the greatest moments the oval has seen.
For me the most recent would be the Australians come from behind ashes win.
What are your favorite sporting memories from Adelaide Oval?

The Hookesy record was a golden moment.
It is truly sad that one of the greatest South Australians to swing the willow has gone. I think he made his debut for West Torrens A's as a 14 yo Underdale High schoolboy.

Australia v Sri Lanka, 1985. An unbroken third-wicket partnership of 224 between Australian batsmen Dean Jones and Allan Border against Sri Lanka in Adelaide was then the highest for any wicket in ODIs. Australia's score of 2 for 323 was the highest team total in the WSC and its victory by 232 runs was the greatest winning margin. Border's hundred of 78 balls was the WSC's fatest.
The sad and memorable part: Jones on 99 facing the last ball ..... it's a wide but they run anyway. No run for Jones, they swap strike and he's left stranded a run short.
An unblvbl day of cricket.

As a young kid watching Sir Garfield Sobers playing for South Australia - for he bowled a bit of fast, then medium, later in the day spin.The next day hit a couple of hundred runs, a hundred in a session and the like.
I'd heard that a Baseball pitcher could throw a curve ball.
One time ago - half an hour delay starting, overcast and SA Captain gave Sobers the new ball with 7 slips and 2 leg slips. He was unplayable really - the ball swung 3 feet. I disremember the exact figure he took in his first spell - about 5 for 11 or so.
