Trent Bridge.
So much to love. First time Aus had followed on since God was in short trousers, Flintoff's ton, Jonah's last hurrah (  ), the tail pulling Oz to a vaguely competitive total (were something like a dozen ahead when Gilchrist went) & the Warne and Lee induced choke with the line in sight.

After a slow start, Trent Bridge wins with 6 out of the 10 votes, partisans showing the opposition.

As much as I loved it, not sure what's special about the 2009 Oval Test

I'll go for Leeds too - my Dad always took the credit for the game - he had a seat in what passed in those days for a corporate box at that game - he went on the first two days but cba after that because the match was so tedious - he had a serious attack of mixed emotions as we sat and watched Botham and Dilley on the tellybox |
