Great sports moments are born from amazing stories. These moments are why people are drawn to the unscripted drama of live competition. Those who continue to insist on using the word sportsball in the pejorative sense may scoff, but it’s true. It’s why folks sat, jaws agape, watching LeBron James defy gravity to deny the Golden State Warriors the lead in the dying moments of game seven in this year’s NBA Finals. It’s why the unprecedented tale of how Leicester City was able to defy 5000-1 odds to win the English Premier League made headlines all over the globe.
Earlier this year the Melbourne Cricket Ground played host to its own story; the dramatic fairy-tale finale of a truly fascinating saga of Australian cricket.
