Do we trust a morgieb sponsored battle that is already two years out of date? Will not last a round; however:

Option 1

An amazing Test with Lara at his best

Bridgetown 1999 clears out the early cannon fodder. I was 9 years old and still cried when Healy dropped Walsh. ****.

Slasher's match in '61 not helped by the fact it shared a series with the first Tied Test re: historical exposure.

And Jo'burg just reminds me of Mitchell Johnson, and months of needless drooling to see Cummins in action again.

Wasnt Lara the one Healy dropped?
But yeah, i vote for Bridgetown 1999 too... that match had everything... Lara at his best against one of the best attacks ever.
Best moment for me was Walsh somehow keeping out a stunning yorker from Gillespie that looked destined to uproot the stumps

24 hours up, and 20 since the last one. Lara's match-winning dig gets the nod 6-0-0. Should go far.

Round 2 has three classic tests, but the winner seems fairly obvious from here:

2nd Test: Australia v New Zealand at Hobart, Dec 9-12, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

2nd Test: England v Australia at Birmingham, Aug 4-7, 2005 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

4th Test: England v Australia at Leeds, Jul 22-27, 1948 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Edgbaston. Still wonder sometimes where Australian cricket would be today if Kasper had glanced that last ball for four instead of gloving it to Corrin's hero.

Also Simon Jones would have been the one to drop the Ashes.
