Where's that quote from? Cricinfo's got it as:

Someone must've given him the message. By the sounds of it there is a fair chance he won't take part in the rest of the series at all.

Other Tests I reckon come close:
Brisbane 1960, Headingley 1981, Melbourne 1982, Chennai 1986, Adelaide 1993, Sydney 1994, Karachi 1994

What about the ones you actually saw?

Australia involved in the majority of those tests?

In fact, the match was so remarkable we even lured PommieMacGill into Cricket Chat!

Maybe he's got the tapes because i have all those games on tape except that 1986 Chennai test.....

 

[Linda]

brett lees cover drive to get the last run before kaspa got out. In all seriousness i thought it had gone for four,,

Haha, yes!! I was certain too! Where the hell did that feildsman come from?! LOL!

 

[Burpey]

Australia have now had two ties, a one run loss, a two run loss, and a three run loss in Test cricket ...

 

[Nate]

Well... that hurts.

When church finished about 120+ of us raced to the back room to watch and were astonished to see us only needing 30. Huge dissapointment.

That Lee lbw to Simon Jones really annoying me now.

Mayb there were 12 men on the field ... I think an appeal should be lodged

As do I but even with really decent highlights, 75% of the drama is missed. I was actually there at the 1993 Adelaide Test and nothing could beat the tension. Well maybe more exciting was the 1996 Sheffield Shield final where SA drew the match to win the Shield but no-one else would understand why I'd say that.

Last years pura cup was also quite the nail bitter

Well both England & Australia have scheduled practice sessions on Wednesday from what i've seen on the board at Lancashire CC yesterday, big crowds will certainly be their. But for me i'll be looking to see Tait bowl with this unusual action that he has....

Add to that St. John's 2000 and Karachi 2000.

He looks extremely fast when u see him in real life.... Much faster than harmison

 

[Adamc]

Add to that St. Jones

He might've taken the winning catch, but sainthood is a bit much, isn't it?

 

[Beleg]

You are too quick!

 

[KennyD]

I cant believe you people sit here and type 25 pages worth of posts while that gripping finsh was on. How can you have time to type?

Indeed and it was also won by tailenders in a team whose official colour is blue. England's is as well so it was obvious they were going to win. I was never in doubt.
