One of cricket's ultimate rivalries over the years, Australia and the West Indies have squared off in some absolutely thrilling Test matches.

The rivalry has died off in recent years with the demolition of West Indies cricket, however, it's a rivalry which once saw the best players in the world regularly squaring off.

That said, from a tied test, to regular thrillers, there have been some incredible Tests between these two sides over the years.

Here are the top five.

3. Australia v West Indies: Third Test 1995

Australia – 128/10 & 105/10

West Indies – 136/10 & 98/1

Player of the Match – Curtly Ambrose

West Indies won by 9 wickets.

This game in 1995 was a fierce battle between the two world's best teams and featured the famous incident between Ambrose and Waugh.

Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose naturally tore through the openers and had Australia on the ropes early at 3 for 14. Ambrose continued to fire bouncers in at Steve Waugh who ended up in a scuffle between the two resulting in Richie Richardson needing to drag his fast bowler away.

Steve Waugh produced the only unbeaten innings scoring 63 of Australia's 128 runs with four Australians getting ducks. Of the 47 overs bowled, Ambrose and Walsh bowled 33, taking eight wickets between them. Ambrose best with 5/45.

Australia responded well on the green bowler's paradise at Queen's Park Oval. Glenn McGrath bowled phenomenally taking 6/47 with 11 maidens from his 21.5 overs. Richardson, Lara, Arthurton, Murray, Ambrose and Walsh falling to McGrath with all ten wickets being out caught.

Australia enjoyed a decent start at 3/85, captain Mark Taylor scoring the most with 30 (62). That was before one of the worst-ever batting collapses which saw Australia crumble for just 20 more runs, all out for 105, Ambrose claiming 4/20 clean bowling Ian Healy and Brendon Julian for ducks.

The West Indies finished with authority only losing Stuart Williams on 42 (56), winning convincingly by nine wickets. This test was a classic game with the West Indies stamping their authority on their main rivals at that time.
