2 moments really stick out in my mind.

The first was when I was 15 playing our grand final in cricket. I bowled out their best batsman by bowling my very first ever flipper.

My second greatest accomplishment was more of a psychological victory. We were playing soccer a few years ago. Both teams were hacking each other a fair bit. Buggy (guy on my team) and this other guy were giving it to each other throughout the game. Buggy did a quite bad hack. Straight away he turned away, head down, hand up admiting he did bad. The guy hit him from behind. Buggy just kept walking away. He hit buggy again. Our coach charged onto the field and belted this guy. Both teams swarmed into a massive brawl. I was on the opposite wing so it took me a while to get there. I jumped on the backs of thes 2 huge guys. Grabbed them around the throat and peeled them away. They turned to belt me. For once common sense got the better of me. I yelled I was trying to break it up. They turned around and saw the brawl finishing so they didnt push it. I was marking one of these guys a few minutes later. He started picking a fight with me. I told him to have his go before I wiped the floor with him. He wouldnt do it so I laughed at him and moved to a better position. About a minute later this guy came running down the field with the ball. I came charging in and yelled "Ankles" just before I hacked his legs out from under him. He went flying face first into the ground. The ref gave them the free kick. I just walked away pretty pleased with myself. He got up and hit me in the back. I just kept on walking. He came in again but the ref restrained him. He was yelling about what I did to him. The ref told him they had the free kick and it was accidental. At that point I turned around and flashed him the biggest grin. The ref who was physicall restraining this guy couldnt see me because he had his back to me. This angry guy could. He totally lost it and went mental trying to get to me. The ref red carded (sent off) him. We were a man up for the rest of the game. It was a psychological battle that I won. My mum is totally against violence but even she was proud of me with this one.
