I can clearly remember when I heard McGrath was out.
Standing in the Moorook-Kingston footy changerooms, late because of work, so everyone else was already on the track.
The tv in the corner was on while I got a hammy rub and I was happy to lay there for as long as the trainer wanted to work on my tight muscles while I watched the cricket.
Then, I think it was Richie, announced McGrath was out after stepping on a cricket ball (funnily, it was a similar inopportune incident earlier in his career which forged McGrath's mettle - McDermott stepping the wrong way off a wall in the Windies).
I had a sinking feeling about that series, which proved to be right.
Later, I watched the final concluding sessions of that Test in the games room at my home, rugged up on the couch - throwing my pillow away when Warne was dismissed. Swearing loudly when Kasper went.
For a cricket fan, life changed that day - we were no longer invincible. Someone else had won the big moment.
