I don't understand why. It was a fantastic performance from Laxman and Dravid. Even the most stringent Aussie fan has to appreciate that.

My statement doesn't mean i undervalue the greatness of the performance, its just the circumstances that surrounded it, i.e i was 12 years old, my fanatacism for the game was at its peak so was belief that Australia couldn't be beaten (given Australia were in the 16 game streak) so for me to wake up from 4:00 in the morning 2 midday on consecutive days, missing half a day @ school & watch those two blokes bat out that entire day & Australia get bowled in the other was at the time as bad as losing yourgirlfriend yo.

But as i've gotten older & that fanatic behaviour died out i definately, do respect how good that performance was but that effect won't go away. So in this case had give the tied test the nod.

Kolkata and Barbados.

Having a tough time deciding between the two. Would've voted for either one of Barbados or Hobart had they made it in, so I'll go for my trend of voting for superb knocks against superb attacks and vote VVS.

Two worhty finalists to round off a great battle (I bet you no one does "Battle of the ODIs") but I vote - by the margin that England won the 2005 Edgbaston Test - for the Tied test.
