Best Series ever ....

[Langeveldt]

1998 summer - England v South Africa...

Gough, Stewart, Donald going mental at Atherton, Cronje, Jonty, Gazza, Nasser.. The works

Watching that series got me into cricket in the first place I guess....

>> You saw the 1902 series? Wow...

The question was only about the best series, not about the best series that we saw

2001 Australia-India, regardless of the result.

Keep in mind I haven't seen enough cricket to give a decent opinion, but from what I have seen (oh, God, let alone what I remember...)

SA vs. NZ vs Aussie in the VB series and WC1999 - Which is almost 100% because of THAT semi-final.
England vs. NZ just recently - You could never really tell who was going to win until the last day of each match.

...wow, my memory sure does suck.

Even the last Test??

1981 for me.

Apart from the obvious 200-1 India v Australia series (the recent series was nowhere near the quality, and I don't know why people elevate it so), and sticking to series I've actually followed closely, I agree with Revelation - the 1999 Waugh vs Lara series was fantastic to watch. A one man crusade against the best team in the world - and an incredible transition from absolutely down and out to a position where the Aussies had to fight to draw the series.

As for tests, the second test between Australia and South Africa at Port Elizabeth in '97 wasn't half bad.

Argh, how could I forget Botham's series??? Oh well, I was only 10...

That was the last day of the match, wasn't it? Not the last playable day, but the last day.
