The Edgbaston test. Australia v England. A thriller test match. I couldn't bare to watch the last 20 overs of the game, it was just tooo exciting. I can't remember any other great test matches apart from this one. My mind has gone a bit blurry.

The two run test, but England should have won with the last day figures showed Aussies Lee, Kaspa and another bowler at the start of the day needed about 80 runs from 2 wickets

Not sure about whether or not Kaspa was out or not???

Kolkota and Edgbaston tests were great. both were against the world champions and they were very exciting.to win from follow-on is a very tough task and laxman (also bhajji) were superb in that match.

i mostly watch tests involving india so i don't know abt the others.

hello guys i think edgbaston test was the best test match of all this decade but i also think pakistan in india third test match was also a thriller coz it was something remarkable from low powered pakistan attack in 2005 . i know many of u will disagree from me and say well he's talking crap but at the final day at lunch india were only 1 down and exclude shoaib from the attack and include sami bowling crap and only danish in form but what indians do to spinners u can judge what a thriller it was

In the Egbaston test, when Australia need like 20 runs to win, that period of time was so funny. When the English fast bowlers were bowling they were bowling yorkers that missed the stumps and went past Geriant Jones for 4. That was so funny and exciting. I loved that test match.

The one where Lara made the 400 n.o at the Antiguan Recreational ground against England. The one where Lara broke Border's record in Australia. Those were two great matches

Those weren't great, they were boring and they were too one-sided.

Oh please that is just your opinion that they were not great!!!!!!!! They were probably one-sided but they were great. If you like to see Lara bat, you would think those two test matches were great! It was great to see Lara in those two test matches just batting in that way. That is the reason why I liked those two test matches so much.
