Battle of the Test Matches

[Magrat Garlick]

A near-unanimous jury for this one too, Inzamam's death grit at Karachi taking nine of the 11 votes.

Another one-wicket win follows...

Hm. Tied up at four votes each, I'd better settle it, and despite the late rally for the ARG Test I'm going to vote for Sri Lanka vs Australia at Kandy, and settle it.

Now for a match which included Bangladesh playing good cricket, Jason Gillespie taking wickets, and Mike Hussey opening the batting - it is only 15 months ago - versus a match made of grit and the best Test bowling performance ever.

Round One, Battle Thirteen

I am going to go with Bangladesh vs Australia...it came out of nowhere and for a time there I thought they would win.
