Battle of the Test Innings

Botham for me too. Butch's was an absolutely first rate knock, but if there hadn't been weather probs earlier in the game I think Gilchrist would've been able to ensure that Australia had even more runs on the board to "close out" the test. I have to be honest & say I thought Oz had enough anyway, but even so it made the series 3-1 in a 5 test series.
