## Caption

Basketball was first introduced into the Commonwealth Games programme at Melbourne 2006.

England fielded teams in both the men's and women's competitions.  

England Men were in Group B and up against New Zealand, Barbados and South Africa. 

The roster featured legends of the English game including Fab Flournoy, John Amechi, Ronnie Baker and Steve Bucknall.

A 2-1 record saw the lads progress to the semi-finals, where they were beaten 101-75 by Australia. 

The bronze-medal game was a different story, however, with England securing their place on the podium, beating Nigeria 80-57.
