Battle of the Test Matches

[Mister Wright]

England v Australia, Nottingham, Fourth Test, 2005

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Low turn-out for this one, Trent Bridge 2005 takes it out with an absolute majority of the nine votes cast.

We aren't done with the 2005 Ashes...it faces the first Boxing Day Test and an amazing chase.

England vs Australia, Edgbaston, Second Test, 2005

The single greatest game of cricket I have ever seen, and this picture is one of the best sports photographs ever IMO.

There we go, should do now.

Edgbaston 2005. The first, and last, cricket game to bring me to tears.

Haha, can't picture it myself. Just a gun photo, really highlighted the passion of the series, yet how cricket can still be the gentlemen's game.

Same here, and I'm a neutral fan.

Hm, thanks for kicking that alive.

Anyway, Edgbaston takes it out easily, with six of six votes.

Chennai. Fine matches all, but Chennai clips it for the historic rivalry and the extra drama that it threw in 'cause of that. Moreover, it was kindled by being the first India-Pakistan game for an age.

 

[Dasa]

Chennai, 1998-99.

 

[silentstriker]

That 136 made me hate every single other batsman we had. Eventually, that hatred extended to all batting in general.
