1. 2013- Edge of the seat thriller:

From a no. 11 player plundering 98 runs to a player edging to the slip and not being given out to England’s victory by only 14 runs, this Ashes Test of 2013 was a stellar encounter which will be there in our memories for decades. When the unknown prodigy Ashton Agar, who was selected to solve Australia’s spinning riddle missed his ton only by 2 runs in his debut innings, even the English fans felt the grief of the man.

The highlight of England’s 2^nd innings was Ian Bell’s coming of the age century as well as Broad nicking to first slip only to be reprieved by Aleem Dar which blotted Broad’s name. From 231/9 to 296/9, the Australian’s looked set to chase down 311 runs. The nail-biting match was surrounded by the pounding heart-beats of the fans. But, heroics of Anderson outwitted Haddin’s (71) vigil at the crease and English side triumphed to victory by 14 runs. Anderson took 10 wickets in the match.
