I'd like to hear your opinions on the greatest sprots comeback ever. Anything from overcome a huge score deficit to a small but momentous one or a personal comeback after an injury, anything, apples vs oranges. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd like to throw one out there from a UK point of view, Englands comeback against Australia in 1981 in what became the Botham Ashes.

I think it's hard to say that there was a great comeback in cricket. Teams come back form 200 or 300 runs down all the time in that game. So if you are going to say that there was a great comeback in cricket, I'd have to say.

1. Every cricket match in which the team batting second won. . . . ever

2956. The Red Sox comming back from 0-3 against the yankees

2957. THE comeback

There was one where UNC scored 8 points in 11 seconds that's got to be up there for college games. I forget when it happened.

John Travolta in Pulp Fiction,

In a series: painful as it is for me to admit, Dyansty is correct--Red Sox vs. Yankees 2004

In a game: Don't remember exactly when, but Knicks trailed the Bucks by 18 with about 4-5 minutes to go and scored the final 19 points to win the game.

3. Wasn't there an Indians/Mariners game a few years ago, where one team scored about 10 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win it?

Dodgers once led 11-1 in the 8th, at home, and gave up 2 in the 8th, then 9 in the 9th to lose 12-11.

How about Reggie Miller against the Knicks?

as much as i hated it (worst sports memory as a child i think, my favorite player was warren moon), i am going to have to say the bills comeback against the oilers in '93... "the comeback"

My favorite player was also Warren Moon (thanks to Tecmo Super Bowl) and I was 8 when this happened all I really remeber about it was how I started crying afterwords.

#2 Duke at #10 Maryland 2001

Maryland 90 Duke 80 with 1 minute left.

Jason Williams scores 8 points including 2 3's. Nate James hits 2 free throws to tie it at 90 and take the game to OT. Shane Battier takes over in OT and Duke wins 98-96

I remember watching the last minute in complete amazement.

I think this goes right up their with the Red Sox & Frank Reich.
