Predictably, the Tied Test wins in a walk.

A tale of three countries up now. Looks pretty competitive, though I have been wrong....

4th Test: England v Australia at Manchester, Jul 24-26, 1902 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

4th Test: Australia v West Indies at Adelaide, Jan 23-26, 1993 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

2nd Test: England v West Indies at Lord's, Jun 29-Jul 1, 2000 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Have to say I did not know anything about any of those three matches. Looking at scorecards, and glancing over the match reports, I'd go for Adelaide 1993. Curtly Ambrose heroics FTW.

I will never ever ever ever forget being gutted at billy being given out off the helmet. Fantastic test. Adelaide

 

[Noble One]

Adelaide

I was 6 years old; and yet still have memories of Adelaide. Any game with Ambrose at his peak should make it to the final.

Lords.

Amazing fightback from England. I witnessed the denoument huddled around a small portable telly in a B&B in Whitley Bay with my mates where I was on a stag do; cricket > titty bars, clearly. Great memories.

Cork's knock was the best 33 you'll ever see. He came to the crease with 39 still needed and seven wickets down facing a fired up Ambrose and Walsh and lost Caddick, who'd set up the win 5 for eff all the day before, with 28 still required.

Manchester 1902

 

[flibbertyjibber]

lords amazing game.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Lords. End of an era and a nerve-shredding finish that didn't look remotely likely two days in.

 

[hendrix]

The Old Trafford, Manchester test looks amazing. That takes my vote.

 

[morgieb]

UPDATE: Adelaide 6, Lords 3, Manchester 2.

Looking more competitive than other battles at least.
