For me it has to be the 1978 Pak v India Test.

I was there at NSK and the way that game ebbed and flowed made me a cricket fan forever!
 
For me it will always be the immortal game of India vs Australia at Kolkota in 2001...For one whole day Laxman and Dravid didnt manage to lose their wicket against an all time great team!!

And that match changed the course of the series
 
2nd Ashes Test between England and Australia (2005 Ashes).

That was the best Test match I have seen.
 
From the ones i've watched eng-aus edgbaston game from 2005 ashes is the best. Sheer drama. Aus-Saf newlands test back in 2011 was one of the most rollercoaster one i've ever seen. For pak, that 2017 test against windies stands out.
 
These were good games also:

1999 Chennai Test (Pakistan vs India).
2001 Kolkata Test (India vs Australia).
2012 Adelaide Test (South Africa vs Australia).
 
Involving India - Gabba 2021

Neutral - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test at Abu Dhabi in 2017 :)
 
When Pakistan gave a 3-0 drubbing to England in UAE. Fell in love with spin bowling
 
Birmingham 1987 4th test match

England required 124 to win in 18 overs

Imran & young Wasim restricted the hosts to 109

Proper test match cricket with its rollercoaster game

Watching live at the ground was truly memorable
 
2nd Ashes Test between England and Australia (2005 Ashes).

That was the best Test match I have seen.

Was that the Test at Edgbaston? I’d concur with you. The atmosphere for that series was on par with any football derby in the country, what a game!
 
Headingly 2019, incredible match with one of, if not THE greatest innings of all time
 
<B>Gabba 2021 hands down</B>.

Bahut logo ko rulaya hai us match ko yaad dila kar :yk :inti
 
Kolkata test against the strongest Australian team in 2001. And you don't have to remind this to anyone over and over again to show its importance in Indian cricket. :yk :inti
 
I think probably Trent Bridge 2005 or Headingley 2019, both in Ashes series. The Trent Bridge match from this year against New Zealand also gets an honourable mention.
 
As a Pakistani fan, Chennai test Ind vs Pak followed by 3rd test Pak vs India 2006 and WI vs Pak 2017

As a neutral 2nd Ashes test 2005, Ind vs England 2nd test 2012.
 
Chennai 1999
Karachi 94 vs Aussies
Durban 98 vs SA

Would be top 3
 
2006/07 Ashes Test at Adelaide. I was there at the final days play with my former GF. The excitement in the stands was electric!

Most memorable Pakistani game was the 2001Test at Old Trafford.
 
17-12-1998 Pakistan & Zimbabwe - Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad

18-12-1998 India & New Zealand - Carisbrooke, Dunedin


Both matches abandoned without a ball bowled :)
 
That series was boring (way too one-sided). 5-0 win for the Aussies.
Yes, it was a one-sided series but this Adelaide Test especially the last day was amazing. It was a flat pitch and a draw was on the cards but then everything changed so quickly!

Must be heartbreaking for the people who bought the tickets!
