England v Pakistan, 1992Pakistan 2, England 1 Only DRS and Twitter could have made this series any more explosive and entertaining than it was. Pakistan distilled the essence of an entire existence through the five Tests: rowdily led, obscenely gifted, as likely to implode as explode upon the opposition. The headline theme was Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis reverse swing, which perforated an obdurate England side led by the obdurate Graham Gooch. The close finish in the second Test at Lords was the highlight, but there was enough in every other Test to merit a book: umpiring dust-ups, tabloid hounding, player antipathy and revenge (for Englands World Cup final loss earlier that year). It only warrants a footnote that it was thought to be the most lucrative series in England until then.Australia v West Indies, 1992-93West Indies 2, Australia 1 There was one great Test in this series, of course, the fourth, in Adelaide, which West Indies won by one run. But there was so much else besides - primarily that the contest happened at just the right moment, one team on the way down meeting another on the way up. West Indies took it but Australias dominance over the first half was a rehearsal for their wresting of the crown in the Caribbean a couple of years later. The series turned, fittingly, on the arrival of Brian Lara and his resounding 277 in the New Years Test in Sydney. Shane Warne, not as loudly, was also arriving, but looming over a starry cast was the moody brilliance of Curtly Ambrose, the man most responsible for West Indies win. As Tim May put it: He was hunting us down.England v South Africa, 1998 England 2, South Africa 1 A stupendous heist or a long drawn-out choke? Either way, Englands win merely made a great series more dramatic. South Africa were not the best side in the world and were already thought of as rigid automatons. Yet only Australia were definitively better. England? At best they were less bad than they had been for a while. They were made to follow on in two successive Tests and could conceivably have lost every one of the five. For the manner of their triumph, it was apt that Mike Atherton was the leading scorer from either side, dragging England away from lost causes to improbable non-defeats. The leading wicket-taker was Allan Donald, and it was the electric duel between the two at Trent Bridge that formed the centrepiece of a classic. The umpiring, Javed Akhtars, notoriously, was bad enough to spice it further; so bad that the next summer, technology would embed itself in adjudication. England v West Indies, 2000England 3, West Indies 1 Any of three successive West Indian visits to England, in 1991, 1995 and 2000, could be picked. The last wins out for just how cockamamie crazy it was. West Indies were in fatal decline. They had not won a Test outside the Caribbean since February 1997 and had lost ten consecutively away from home. At Edgbaston they won by an innings, inside three days. Once they lost the next, a thrilling match at Lords, they imploded spectacularly. Darren Gough, Andy Caddick, Craig White and Dominic Cork made for an eccentric yet effective attack. Caddick took four wickets in one mental over at Headingley, where West Indies 61 was not even their lowest total of the series. The Test lasted two days. By the time they rocked home at The Oval, England had imbued history to proceedings, securing the Wisden Trophy for the first time in 27 years. It was not the best cricket but it was unmissable.South Africa v England, 2004-05England 2, South Africa 1 The last great non-Ashes five-Test series was the last genuine one (Englands tour to the Caribbean in 2009 only became five Tests after one was abandoned). Michael Vaughans alchemy had forged a formidable England side, now slap-bang in the middle of a golden phase. South Africa were in transition, debuting both Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers. But they were at home, where, since readmission, they had lost only two of 20 series, and those to Australia. It was genuinely impossible to pick a winner. That England eventually scraped through had much to do with Andrew Strauss and the pace attack, which, even with a misfiring Steve Harmison, had developed into a wonderfully varied and incisive one. It was the least celebrated of them, Matthew Hoggard, who played the decisive hand late in the series, in the fourth Test at the Wanderers. His 12 wickets, seven expertly swung out on the final day, saw England home with barely any time to spare.Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Goedkoop .

Foreign spectators and athletes at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro have something else to get used to: The boisterous booing and sometimes thunderous taunts of Brazilian fans who arent satisfied to just sit back and watch the action unfold.Feeling lost in translation? Youre not alone.I cant hear my coach. Calm down, Brazilian fencer Ghislain Perrier, who was raised in France, said in rough Portuguese during a match as rowdy spectators chanted Uh! Youre gonna die! Uh! Youre gonna die! in the direction of his opponent. (They werent serious, of course.)En garde is usually the loudest call one hears during fencing, which requires such intense concentration that etiquette typically permits applause only between bouts. But local fans prefer to cheer against Brazilian rivals with the war cry vai morrer, commonly bellowed at mixed martial arts events. The same chants can be heard this week at judo and boxing.In Brazil, spectators follow their own set of rules: Always support the underdog. Boo referees, umpires and judges whenever a decision goes against the home team. And no dig is off-limits, even if offensive.Consider Fridays opening ceremony. Locals booed interim Brazilian President Michel Temer, gave South American rival Argentina a mixed welcome, and cheered countries with seemingly little connection to Brazil. One of them was Switzerland.It is because many of our politicians have secret bank accounts there, said Renato Santos, a Rio businessman. How come people abroad didnt get that joke?While hardly an underdog, China has garnered support from many Brazilian fans at Olympic events. But one of the most popular chants when Chinese athletes are competing is Yakisoba, which is a Japanese nooodle dish that happens to be popular in Brazil.ddddddddddddOthers have made reference to a local Chinese chain restaurant, trying to show their support by shouting China In Box.Business consultant Rafael Salies, a Brazilian whos taken part in the mockery, says the fans mean no affront. This is Rio, and people find it funny. Nothing else.The darling of Olympic boos so far has been American soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo. Before the Olympics, she had a lot of fans in soccer-crazy Brazil, but they felt disappointed after she used social media to spread alarm over the Zika virus. Now, every time she takes a goal kick, unforgiving spectators roar ZEE-KAH!Everyone will adapt, said Mario Andrada, a spokesman for the local organizing committee. Brazilians are loud fans. This is Latin America, and thats how people cheer.South American athletes barely flinch at the cheers and jeers, but some other athletes have taken to retorts. Italian tennis player Fabio Fognini shouted Louder, Louder! when he and Andreas Seppi beat Brazilians Andre Sa and Thomaz Bellucci in doubles.Others have actually enjoyed the rambunctiousness. You can feel it in the water, it is just so loud, American swimmer Michael Phelps said. It is a great energy.Top-seeded tennis player Novak Djokovic went even further. This crowd makes me feel Brazilian, thats why I am crying. I didnt want to disappoint them, he said after losing to Argentinas Juan Martin del Potro.Adversaries arent Brazilian fans only prey, by the way. The host nations soccer players endured endless booing during their first match and, in the second, the local crowd even began rooting for opponent Iraq instead. ' ' '
