List of

Some interesting last ball moments in cricket.

The best one is below
Very funny
Six fix
Australia v England, Perth, 1974-75
Doug Walters was seven short of a century - and 10 short of a hundred in a session - when Bob Willis began the final (eight-ball) over of the second day. Ross Edwards took a single off the first ball, handing the strike over. Walters top-edged a bouncer for a four off the second, and then remained on 97 for the next five balls, which Willis fired in full and straight. The last one, though, climbed chest-high; Walters rocked back, hooked it into the stands, tucked his bat under his arm, and walked back to the pavilion. Upon arrival in the oddly deserted dressing room, he said to a team-mate, "See, I told you I could hit a ton in this session." "Century?" the reply came. "You idiot, the ball was caught on the boundary. You're out." Walters rushed out to check the scoreboard, realised he'd been had, and returned to a hero's welcome in the by now fully populated dressing room.
