Summary: Cheats Prosper-Or winning the ashes by Cheating
Comment: This is an excellent Video showing how when you cheat by polishing the ball illegally , you can win a cricket series. A worth while 'watch' for any prospective Cricket Cheat. Read all about it in Marcus Trescothick's Book "Coming Back To Me" where he raves about the wonders of Murray Mints,the swing Bowlers friend and how he and the Murray Mints were instrumental in winning the Ashes series.

Summary: Fantastic Memories.
Comment: Watching this DVD set helps me escape from the shambles of 2006/07, Harmison sure was a LOT different back then as to what he is now. I remember watching all these tests live and revisiting the pride I felt whenever I want is just great to have the option of. The Highlights are great, the extra features are also very impressive and entertaining. That said, if someone who owns the set could watch the "Ashes Finale" on disk 3 and tell me what the music is that plays during the last bit of that (the last 2 minutes or so), I've been looking for it everywhere on the set but it doesn't say. Thanks.

Summary: well worth buying
Comment: this is an excelent review of what was a fantastic ashes series. heaps of match footage and some very interesting extras. for the price you can't realy go wrong if you're a fan of english cricket.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: 5 stars for the test series, 2 stars for the DVD
Comment: I agree with an earlier reviewer - highlights are no way to record a test series for posterity. A test match is a psychological struggle - it's not just about bowlers getting wickets, fielders making catches and batsmen hitting fours and sixes - that sort of nonsense is what Twenty/20 is about. Real cricket is more complicated and deserves better coverage. I'm not suggesting that test cricket DVDs should consist of twenty DVDs showing every single ball, but surely there's a better way of capturing the ebb and flow of the game. I also agree that pre-match and post-match stuff is superfluous. I'd prefer the DVD to be all cricket all the time.

The 2005 Ashes Series turned out to be the most compelling, exciting and unpredictable cricket contest since Ian Botham almost single-handedly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in 1981. Twenty-four years on, and we have a new all-rounder to take the lion's share of the glory: Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff, whose fast-bowling undid the tourists throughout the series. Needless to say, however, it was not entirely a solo performance, with the series seeing sterling contributions from bowlers Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison, and some absolutely top notch batting from Andrew Strauss and a rampant Kevin Pietersen, who sealed Australia's fate in the final contest at The Oval with a masterful century. The series started less well for the England team at Lord's as they faced a sound thumping at Australia's hands, and particularly the bowling arm of legendary Aussie fast-bowler Glenn McGrath. But as the series progressed England found their feet, and this confident young team started playing their best cricket, particularly impressing with the quality of their bowling. At the start of the final test at The Oval, the series hung in the balance with England 2-1 ahead, despite some of the best bowling of Shane Warne's long test career. A mixture of bad light, Pietersen's batting and Flintoff's impressive display of character and determination managed to wrest the Ashes from Australia's grasp for the first time in sixteen years and the atmosphere at the ground -- and indeed nationwide -- was euphoric. The 2005 Ashes Series will be remembered not just as a series in which a young England team came of age, but also as the the point at which the game of cricket returned to the nation's conciousness after some years in the wilderness. --Duncan Thomson
