Here after Shane Warne's untimely death. Watching this video of him in better time. He was an immensely good cricketer and an all-round lover of the sport. Clearly a classy bloke also, shaking KP's hand and congratulating him in his century. What a player and what a man. RIP Shane. The game of cricket will never, ever forget you. ♥️😭
Warney was the best and most dangerous bowler I’ve ever seen. He was also very good mates with KP from their time together at Hampshire so of course he shook his hand and of course he loved to get him out. Two top professionals who just loved the contest. And that’s what test cricket is, a contest that tests you against the best of the best of any given era. When outclassed as England were for 18 years it can seem completely merciless as it should be. Love the game to be honest, it shapes characters and champions and for me in my lifetime Shane Warne was the epitome of that
I was preparing for my entrance exams in the hostel. No sports channels there. So i used to watch this in front of a TV showroom whenever I go out for lunch or some other purposes. Oh man!!! What a series that was!!
I think Warne and KP were playing for Hampshire at the time, so Warne came over to congratulate his buddy. Dropping him early doors must have hurt so that was still big of him to shake his mate's hand and say 'well done.'
Shane Warne was an incredible competitor and clearly and amazing bloke, shaking KP's hand when he got his century and applauding Freddie after his innings at Edgbaston. Serious class and what the game is all about
It's like a great movie came to an end......what a series that was....what a players....what a crowd.....and what a great era of cricket that was......Test cricket at its best :3
I bet you enjoyed the 06-07 series too. Since England discovered the Dukes ball, Australia haven’t had any chance of beating them in England since 2001. Last time they only managed to draw the series because of Steve Smiths monumental effort. No other Australian batsman did anything
sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Stanley Kyree Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks a lot for uploading. Excellent series this. Hidden Ashes is so good. Ah! 2005 Cricket was so good. Commentary was so good. Players are all so good. Life was so good. The world was probably better than now
and now KP has retired. Top batsman when he's in full swing yet arguably one of the most disputed cricketer apart from few others of his time. Farewell, KP. It's been a real pleasure.
The oval match has to go down as my favourite of all time. The tension was unbelievable. Freddie was superb...but KP's 158 words fail me :) I don't think there will be anything like it ever again. The whole 5 matches.. Oz were superb. McGrath and Warney exceptional...We'll never see anything like that again in my lifetime.
Love the spirit of sportsmanship shown by Warne and Gilchrist. They played hard, very intense but at the end of the day they appreciated good cricket by the opponent.
10 years ago, but i remember it like it was just yesterday. watched the whole series at home and while i was away in spain. a really special series of cricket for this country. funny watching vaughan lift something so insignificant in size yet with so much imprtance and history to english cricket. just hope we can regain them this summer, although it is unlikely
This incredible ashes series deserves a documentary because aussies were considered invincible at that time & England rose like phoenix (who takes birth from its ashes) to beat them..!!
imo none of the 3 most recent ashes series have been even 1/100th as good as this one, not only because of the cricket played but the personalities involved
@@harryjones3906 The last test was legendary but as a series this one is still a long way off (That might change), I think Graham is right about the personalities too, where are they in these 2 teams? Stokes and ..?
My first choice of series when ever I want to watch any old matches. I always wondered after all of this when KP had century, Gilchrist was clapping, when KP got out Warne shaking hands. Flintoff congratulates Hayden. Now a days hard to find...
I am from Nepal i have watched all these series live and this was best test series of all time..thanks for the legends who were the part of this series
that catch dropped by warne turned out to be the turning point of the series im surprised nobody went up to warne and told him "youve dropped the ashes" :P
Don't forget, Warne was single-handedly keeping Australia in it. It felt like Warne vs England at times. McGrath came back and England neutralized him. So Shane stepped up and did his thing. Warne was the hero of this match. Dropped catch and all. An absolute warrior.
Watched this live on TV, amazing series, KP rode his luck but boy did he step up after lunch and took the game away from Australia. That's what the great players do, when the pressure is on the most.
Thanks for this video mate! What an incredible innings by KP. Given the pressure, the accumulated tension over the summer and the weight of history, that 158 has got to be one of the greatest innings of all time and the 2005 ashes one of the greatest series ever
I remember the moment England won the Ashes in 2005. I was sat on the lavatory, the lips of my dung hatch poised expectantly, having not been for a poo in 5 days. I had the TV turned up loud in the next room so I could hear it, and the very moment the stumps were removed, I let my bowels spew forth into the bowl, both pooing and weeping with joy. It was a special day I will never forget. RIP Paul Daniels.
The way shane warne congrats kp after the 100. It shows he was a great sports person and unbiased sports fan. He always respect great cricket either its by the opposition team player. Great sports person. Magician. We always loved him. Love from india.
I was at there that day.. don't remember much except Warne dropping Pietersen and then Pietersen dropping bombs into the crowd. I was so pissed that the rest is a blur. After the first test McGrath said they would win it 5 - 0 so when he came to field at the boundary we were having some good banter with him.. he took it pretty well.. hundreds of people chanting at him. It was special because prior to this, this Australian side had been the dominant force in cricket and this was the end of arguably their greatest ever side, maybe even the greatest side of all time. When you look at the players they had it's scary. England needed a bit of luck, but the bowling attack were fantastic that series and McGrath's freak injury helped turn the tide. What a series!
Arguably this has to be the series of the century.. Although ind-aus 2001 series was way too good but this has been the best.. I was 17 that time around had watched all the five matches live on TV by bunking all those 25 days of college.. Kp and bell was debutante though Kp played knock of his life in this 2nd inns..
They just caught Australia who didn’t bother to prepare properly after their conquering of the final frontier when they finally won in India in 2004. With Gillespie randomly losing the plot they realised they didn’t have quality in back up bowling, Brett Lee suddenly had to step up from short spell enforcer to frontline pace bowler, Hayden and Martyn had no idea once the ball started swinging and Gilchrist was kept down by Flintoff. Suddenly you had a not so great side only held up by Warne, Ponting and Glenn McGrath when he wasn’t injured.
For some reasons , nothing elevates one more than an American win and then an English win in anything. They people are something special. Thanks for the upload. Regards from Mumbai.
The greatest & the loudest cheer ever in the game of cricket at the sight and signal of the umpire as play being called for the day and for the series.
This is a Test Match that is impossible to explain to Americans. They wouldn't be able to understand how you can play for 5 days and have no result. To any cricket fan, this was the thrilling climax to a series that had more drama and intrigue than many before and since.
Even from Australia you could feel the drama of this series was going to deliver something special,from the tube bombing coinciding. With the start of the series, i think the poms were looking for something to lift the country's spirit and from the very first couple of balls when langer got struck you knew this was not going to be just another hum drum series as the past have been and the end it came down to two dropped catches leading up to the final test ,final day and final session before England could breathe easy knowing the ashes were theirs
I knocked off work at midday on the final day's play and went to the Sevenoaks pub in Manchester (one of a few that actually bothered showing the cricket) A very very tense afternoon of wondering whether we had enough runs yet. By 4pm my girlfriend (now wife) joined me for the anti-climactic ending. A great day - shame it was back to work again the following day.
This series revived interest in International cricket - not that I'd ever lost the flame! But, apparently, interest was at an all-time low. After this series, the 2013-14 Ashes tour by England was one of the most anticipated in decades. The "Amazing Adelaide" test had so many echoes of this England series; it was a thrill a minute ride for us Aussies but also so good to see an England team that could fight..... and play! The fact is, there's only one series that has any real interest or significance and that is Australia vs England. The affection Freddie Flintoff is held in, in Australia, shows how deep-seated the love of an Ashes scrap is.The rest....well, I despise the Indian Cricket Board and what it has done to world cricket - and Pakistan? They can't even host games in their own country and when they do play, you wonder which bookmaker got to them first. Here's hoping the Sth Africans put up a fight next month.
+Peter Callaghan Lol...Either you are really young or you have some sort of memory loss -- The Ashes series in the early/mid nighties was some of the worst cricket on display. Do you really forget the likes of Phili Defreitas trundling up to bowl lollipops at the Australian batsman:)
Not young, that's for sure; the second option is more likely! I suppose you could be right about that period. I did miss a lot of it, cricket-wise, as I was living in Sth East Asia then and did not have access to much cricket.
13:51 I had massive respect for Warne for that congrats for KP. As an Englishman Warne was a massive thorn in our side for many years but he was always a great sportsman. But what a legend! (Compare that to 2013 where the Aussies were physically threating our guys)!

anyone noticed Gilchrist and Warne reaction after KP's century.......just legendary 😀😀
Hallmark of legends..
I think Warne and KP were playing for Hampshire at the time, so Warne came over to congratulate his buddy. Dropping him early doors must have hurt so that was still big of him to shake his mate's hand and say 'well done.'
Richie benaud and mark Nicolas....what a commentators they were👌👌
Exactly
Do not forget to mention Tony Greig
Legend. That pause which comes from Richie because he knows that the next moment is in his control.
The Beige, bone, off white, ivory and cream jacket. With the tan that was brown as a berry Richie, brown as a berry.
Shane Warne was an incredible competitor and clearly and amazing bloke, shaking KP's hand when he got his century and applauding Freddie after his innings at Edgbaston. Serious class and what the game is all about
Inx
Indeed he was. RIP legend
It's like a great movie came to an end......what a series that was....what a players....what a crowd.....and what a great era of cricket that was......Test cricket at its best :3
Ashes is not just a cricket series it is an emotion ♥
Golden days of cricket..great players with great performances
I m not English but still it is one of the best childhood memories I have
Obviously you are not English 😉
Same brother
18 years between Ashes wins was a long, bleak and depressing time for us Englishmen. This series meant a lot
I bet you enjoyed the 06-07 series too. Since England discovered the Dukes ball, Australia haven’t had any chance of beating them in England since 2001. Last time they only managed to draw the series because of Steve Smiths monumental effort. No other Australian batsman did anything

Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Less than six months after my Grandfather, who instilled my love of cricket, passed. I was in tears at the end of this match.
14 years and counting, this never gets old does it. No test series will come close, even daylight close!
Thanks a lot for uploading. Excellent series this. Hidden Ashes is so good. Ah! 2005 Cricket was so good. Commentary was so good. Players are all so good. Life was so good. The world was probably better than now
Life WAS better then. Now is pretty awful after yesterday. Though we did win the ODI and us doing the horrid Brexit probably won't affect our cricket.
and now KP has retired. Top batsman when he's in full swing yet arguably one of the most disputed cricketer apart from few others of his time.
Farewell, KP. It's been a real pleasure.
The oval match has to go down as my favourite of all time. The tension was unbelievable. Freddie was superb...but KP's 158 words fail me :) I don't think there will be anything like it ever again.

jamescooling looks like a real chance now. Given the 1-0 Statistics.
THE DDF
They broadcasted it in Spain ?
@@Akash_Tyagi_93 If it was broadcasted in India then why not Spain ?
Lee, warne, ponting, Mcgrath gilchrist hayden peterson flintoff strauss.
Damn what star studded ashes was this.
This incredible ashes series deserves a documentary because aussies were considered invincible at that time & England rose like phoenix (who takes birth from its ashes) to beat them..!!
Quite simply, the greatest Test series of all time. I will never ever forget it....
imo none of the 3 most recent ashes series have been even 1/100th as good as this one, not only because of the cricket played but the personalities involved
how about this one?
@@harryjones3906 The last test was legendary but as a series this one is still a long way off (That might change), I think Graham is right about the personalities too, where are they in these 2 teams? Stokes and ..?
@@eddy4688 Stokes?? You've got to be kidding! About as interesting as watching paint dry!
My first choice of series when ever I want to watch any old matches. I always wondered after all of this when KP had century, Gilchrist was clapping, when KP got out Warne shaking hands. Flintoff congratulates Hayden. Now a days hard to find...
The 2009 Series was pretty good
I am from Nepal i have watched all these series live and this was best test series of all time..thanks for the legends who were the part of this series
I was there that day .. one of the greatest days of my life
that catch dropped by warne turned out to be the turning point of the series
im surprised nobody went up to warne and told him "youve dropped the ashes" :P
They did - that was the signature move!
so truee..i do agree wid dis point..
Don't forget, Warne was single-handedly keeping Australia in it.
It felt like Warne vs England at times. McGrath came back and England neutralized him. So Shane stepped up and did his thing.
Warne was the hero of this match. Dropped catch and all. An absolute warrior.
What turn the series in England favor is those words of Ricky pointing after he knew Glenn was out of the match was " we are going to have a blow"
Hayden also dropped him prior to warne don't blame warne only
2005 ashes --- the greatest test series i have ever seen and i am watching cricket for the past 20 years
Watched this live on TV, amazing series, KP rode his luck but boy did he step up after lunch and took the game away from Australia. That's what the great players do, when the pressure is on the most.
Unarguably the best Ashes ever.
Best series I reckon after 01 border Gavaskar
I agree. This series was so intense and competitive. Flintoff and KP were the stars
99 Frank Worrell series was epic too. Ended in a 2-2 draw which nobody was expecting
K P what a batsman we had for England ,raw talent and so understated ,compiled so many runs in such a short time ,magnificent to watch
Best Ashes series I've seen.
Two things about the series: Graham Thorpe was dropped and the whole shebang was on terrestrial tv.
Amazing series.
Fantastic Ashes series, I never get tired of watching these!
2005. Great weather, great Ashes and great Champions League. My favourite year. :)
Thanks for this video mate! What an incredible innings by KP. Given the pressure, the accumulated tension over the summer and the weight of history, that 158 has got to be one of the greatest innings of all time and the 2005 ashes one of the greatest series ever
Beauty of this match is the crazy spectators..... Thanks for uploading ...what a match.....best highlights I have ever seen,...
Unbelievable cricket. Two brilliant teams, undoubtedly ferocious competition but outstanding sportsmanship. Just fantastic.
one of the best ashes series I've ever seen ,great spirit between them
What do you mean by "one of the best" mate?
The best test series I have ever had the privilege of seeing!
Everytime I watch this series, goosebumps!!!!
Best Ashes in a Millennium 😀😀

Thanks for upload this series
best test series I have been ever seen.. thank you..
What a great scene when the camera is following the players out of the pavilion onto the pitch. You’re RIGHT THERE. What a time to be alive.
I love Mark Nicholas voice and also Nasir Hussain...
Good Old Days of Cricket
What an incredible audiences to play in front of
One of the world's best series ever in history 👏👏👏
Best ashes series that I have ever seen ...so good to see

I thought India/ pak matches are a game of nerves. Look at the crowd man.
They just caught Australia who didn’t bother to prepare properly after their conquering of the final frontier when they finally won in India in 2004.

This is the best test innings I witnessed in my life by KP, Respect from Pakistan
Still scares the hell out of me watching this after all this time
Words of Ricky pointing " We are going to have a bold" cost them the series
For some reasons , nothing elevates one more than an American win and then an English win in anything. They people are something special. Thanks for the upload. Regards from Mumbai.
Wow, 319-7 on the first day of a test match! It used to be so common in the 2000s. Thankfully, it’s a rarity these days
And even England didn't know what was to follow down under in 2006 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And that was the day when england had produced their GOAT batsman kevin pietersen❤️
Test cricket.. You beauty
Melbourne desperately needs a test like this, I can't remember the last interesting test at the MCG
At least the pitch has improved.
@@mikespearwood3914 Man I beg for this summer to be an interesting one... for once
One of best ever ashes watching in my life wohhh
The greatest & the loudest cheer ever in the game of cricket at the sight and signal of the umpire as play being called for the day and for the series.
What a champion Shane Warne is.
Proper cricketers from both sides 👏👏👏
One of the beast ashes series that i have watched so far
Kevin is the greatest batsman to ever hold a cricket bat, period.
Er, no.
Best video ever made on cricket
This is a Test Match that is impossible to explain to Americans. They wouldn't be able to understand how you can play for 5 days and have no result.
To any cricket fan, this was the thrilling climax to a series that had more drama and intrigue than many before and since.
Anthony Kernich I am an American
And well it was the best test match in ashes History
Play for 5 days and in the end you come to know that there's spot fixing in it 😂😂😂
The golden moments of England cricket

The torch will be passed on in time, before Freddie, there was Beefy.
Excellent response from KP to Bret Lee
Before and after lunch on that final day - I don't think I'd seen Brett Lee bowl faster. He was an absolute lion during that series,
One of the greatest sporting event happened in world in 2005
I was waiting for England to win a series
Most remembered series ever
very super machi
This is the best ever Test series in the history of Cricket. England just refused to loss.
The best ever test series played on this planet the ashes of 2005
great game of cricket
Andrew Straus the legend
What a win by English team, they beat Best cricket team in the history of cricket🎉.
Flintoff with the cap and the rejection😂😂😢
That lightning stroke at 3:16
well done good job with vedio
The greatest test match series ever in cricket history!!
RIP Shane. We wished you were English!
