Was the Oval, the "We'll get 'em in singles" match, Fred? Yeah I know it's apocryphal, but it's a good myth.

'twas indeed, and it's sort of true - Rhodes snicked one through the slips for four at the beginning but if they had their little chat after that then 'tis true (well if you disregard an overthrow)

Karachi is a memorable scorecard, though sadly tainted by the fact that Malik played a significant role, but as brumbers says you can't look beyond 19-90, so Old Trafford for me too

Karachi, best test I ever saw Pakistan involved in some very high quality bowling from 3 W's (Wasim, Warne and Waqar) David Boon's hundred was a masterpiece and any game that puts Ian Healy in a bad light is surely a winner.
