Best Test match ever?

[The Fonz]

Alot of people seem to be calling the Test as the best ever but I think they

a) havent seen that much cricket
b) what they have seen has been boring-boring-England

For people who watch Australia play this was just another game. What was so good about it?

Was Australia ever really on top in the match?

Why was this game better than the one England won in Melbourne in 1998? There England defended 175 in the fourth innings with Australia 3/130 at one stage before being bowled out for 162.

For mind - the two Tied Tests and the three Tests where sides won where following on would have to be better.

Good call mate.

I think to say whether a test was the best ever or not you need to have seen a fair bit of cricket around the world, both involving and not involving Australia.

Cricket journalists and commentators who follow internationals teams around the world would be the best to make such comments in my book.

Personally, am never afraid to make a comment although have been sot down by even the most average of cricket fans in the past.
