Top 5 things on a spectator's wish-list while watching a Test match

#5 A nail-biting finish

The 2005 Ashes is hailed by many as the best Test series in recent years

Those who consider Test cricket to be boring, think again. The longest version of the game can also go down to the wire so that all three results are possible going into the last over of a Test match.

Those who still find this difficult to believe simply need to remember about the 2005 Ashes series which was one of the most entertaining and hard-fought Test series in recent history. Most of the matches in the series went into the last day with all three results possible.

England's two-run victory in the second Test followed by the lasting image of Andrew Flintoff consoling a dejected Brett Lee has stayed with us till now. Lee and McGrath playing out the last four overs to deny England a victory in the third Test was nail-biting stuff. Ashley Giles and Mathew Hoggard guiding England to victory in the fourth Test was unforgettable.

Those are the rare moments a spectator can always dream of and can then proudly claim that there is nothing like Test cricket.
