Well, in the context of the Australia vs SA game...
The Aussies first innings score was a massive world record, the previous being 398 by Sri Lanka against Kenya (a non test playing nation)
So basically the Australian batsman decimated the previous world record and scored almost 40 more runs than any other team had done in a ODI, and then the South Africans came out and scored even more. Not a great day to be a bowler! I remember the bbc report at the time describing the crowd as "delirious" by the end!

For me its hard to choose, but because its so fresh in the memory I think I'll have to say Usain Bolt's 3 Golds and 3 WR's.
The 100 was just phenomonal, and the relay was incredible and a fantastic moment for Safa as well, but the 200 was the best for me - especially as the American legend Johnson has been saying all over the TV that Bolt couldnt beat his record this time at least... I can still remember at the end the commentator just gibbering about the fact that he had broken the WR into a headwind, and then remembering he was supposed to actually be calling the places but didnt know, and saying "I'm sorry, I have no idea who finished second or third..."
