Karachi for me, was a landmark Test for this England side. The Adelaide thing was just a top edge anyway

Frankly the test was pretty dour for around 3 and a half to 4 days but then exploded into life. And that finish... wow... Only time ever that ive loved Bucknors umpiring... really stuck it to Moin brilliantly |

Has to be Adelaide, good as Karachi was.
Cricket as a blood sport and all that.

Karachi, purely for the comedy of the Pakistani fielders not moving anytime England's batsmen hit boundaries because they had no idea where the ball was.

While Colombo and The Oval each had a bowling performance for the gods (Shoaib and Chandra), Chennai was one the best overall games ever. 1300+ runs, 38 wickets, a double century, a 15-fer and a Tendulkar ton to boot.

Chennai. Remember watching it nervously in college canteen when India had to get some 15 odd runs with 3 wickets in hand. One of the great memories.
