This was such an immense series because this was one of 3 matches where the result was still in balance at the death, and the final test (and series) was still in the balance on the final day.
If you want the measure of a man, look in their eyes after a defeat. Shane Warne had sincerity in his eyes. What a cricketer and human being he was. He was a natural born winner but took defeat like a man. Class act. RIP Shane Warne.
Had he not got injured at Trent Bridge, England would have selected the same line up for all 5 tests. Collingwood did his bit at The Oval by staying at the crease in the second innings as long as he did.

Ashes 2005 greatest series I have seen, great memories!
Shame Simon Jones endured so many injuries. He was a really good bowler. Coulda racked up quite a few wickets for England.
At least he got hair now.
Jones and Anderson would have been potent
Before Anderson,
there was Simon Jones who had a brief career

When test cricket was test cricket
Awesome seeing these two again ,they should have been knighted for their service to England cricket.
Simon Jones' last game in an england shirt, amazing memories but must have felt pretty bittersweet for him 😢
Jones was spectacular!!
Both are excellent Bowlers..
Was jones last test this. Such a shame . Was brilliant

Injury wrecked his career sadly.

Injuries ruined his career but he brought the start for the new generation of bowlers
Jones has got hair!!!
Hoggard and Simon is the best swinging combination of all time
Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram
Ashes 2005 was the best.
England bowling attack 05 :
Hoggard - swinger
Harmison - express pace
S.Jones - Reverse swing
Flintoff - the intimidator
Giles - spinner
Both of them Really made the World's Best Aussie Batting line up look like 3rd grade Players..
This was his last game for England.
Cricket didn't get better after this series
