There's no doubt about it: 2012 has been a mammoth year for sport.

India, South Africa and Sri Lanka have all toured in the cricket, London hosted the "best Olympics ever", the Sydney Swans won the AFL flag and Melbourne Storm did what they do best - win.

No matter what your favourite game is, Grandstand has been there pitchside, trackside, courtside and more.

Our team of experts have put together a range of Year in Review montages for a dozen different sports. Here they are in alphabetical order.
