#6. Harbhajan derails the Rawalpindi Express

Shoaib Akhtar was not particularly renowned for a calm demeanour and when Bhajji hit him for a six in a tense run chase during the Asia Cup, Akhtar gave him a piece of his mind, using rather unparliamentary language. Harbhajan got motivated enough to drag his team to victory and angry enough to let out yells directed at Akhtar in a manner that would put Tarzan to shame.

#5. What's on in McGrath’s mind

The Windies were closing in on a record 4th innings chase and Ramnaresh Sarwan was the prime enforcer. Glenn McGrath resorted to using the classic Aussie weapon, sledging. Stump microphones caught McGrath asking Sarwan about the latter’s familiarity with Brian Lara’s anatomy. Sarwan retorted that McGrath’s wife knew it better. A livid McGrath threatened to rip Sarwan’s throat out and from the video, it seems like he could have totally carried out the threat.
