  • Not including Australian highlights is pathetic it was the greatest series ever it took 2 teams to make that not one

  • 1 run, 1 fucking run, that's all AUS needed to retain the ashes and they couldn't even account for that.

  • check out my video response, its for the 2006 series xD

  • Let the legends to speak.I mean richie

  • Comment removed

  • The commentary brought out this video. Commentary-60% Music 40%. :D

  • Check out the book 'The Ashes, 1945-2005, A Complete Record' by Tony Wagtar

  • Switched it off when mambo no5 came on.

  • such a gay song

  • The 4 dislikes are from aussies :L

  • where are all the australian hightlights??

  • @mallen3168 I thought Shane Warne Dropping KP on that final day at the Oval was an Australian highlight!

  • @famousstrauss haha yeah good one mate, ill let you have that one, seeing as the 17 years before that you didnt have much to make highlights out of.

  • @mallen3168

    There wasn't any 'Australian' highlights. A bit like the current Ashes series - if you rely on a player like M J then the highlights are going to be the one day out of 25 that he bowls well. The rest of the time he is worse than useless. Keep picking him Australia. March on England.

  • @Cannafish Well there was Australian highlights, as the ball of the century came out of that period., and if your referring to this ashes campaign, ill admit Australia are terrible, but at lest when we play bad its still a 2 - 1 series unlike last time england came to Australia where they didn't even put together a decent test, walking home with there tail between there legs and 5 losses to there name. 

  • @mallen3168 There weren't any - bit like the current Ashes series

  • I remember this song from when I was a kid does anybody know the Artist and the songs name

  • One of the greatest moments in sporting history with one of the most disappointing ends! Was so gutted that we regained due to bad light, but a win is a win! Shame Siddle's destroying us this time around :/

  • The tune was the theme tune to the Channel 4 coverage of this series.......coverage that brought cricket to the masses for the first time. Sky coverage sucks.

  • @tallburt Spot on. I remember watching all of this series (and many more before it) on Channel 4, and loving the experience. One of the great things they did throughout the years they had the coverage, was to de-mystify the sport; to explain all the jargon and terminology, the field placings etc etc... Stroke of genius, really. Wish Ch4 still had the cricket...

  • Ashes 2005 is the best test series in the cricket history........

  • i do remember this series because this has to be one of the greatest test series of all time

  • why put music on top of a sports video? especially a shit 90s throwback...

  • STOP PUTTING YOUR OWN STUPID CHOICE OF TUNES OVER YOUR CLIPS ASSHOLES. No one gives a shit about your favourite novelty pop song. Fuck off, cunts.

  • @Tremuoso look it was the music that channel four chose to introduce its cricket coverage of said series so it has relevance. other wise I would never have used it. plus listen to the lyrics as Andrew Strauss takes that slip catch at full stretch!

  • @famousstrauss don't worry about that foul-mouthed prat mate, I enjoyed it, the song was very nostalgic - Channel 4 used it throughout the 5-10 years they had the cricket coverage rights. I'm actually still sad they lost them! This Ashes series was the last bit of cricket on Channel 4...

  • @famousstrauss First of all - I loved the video.

    But whilst I don't agree with Tremuoso yelling at you, I do have to agree that the video would have been far better without the music, even if Channel 4 did use it. It spoilt what was other wise wonderful video for me.

  • @Tremuoso This was the Theme Channel 4 used to introduce the coverage. Fuck off ignorant cunt.

  • what a series that was, superb sportsmanship, class and passion. Hope the next series in Oz continues in this vein! A contest please England!

    We miss you Freddie!

  • amazing england really did play at their best that series, giles played well for once and flintoff was amazing but the ball from harmisson @1:06 was just magical

  • CRICKET IS BETTER THAN FOOTBALL

    RULES ARE BETTER THAN FOOTBALL

  • ohhh Helloo

  • haha it took them 18 years

  • @ToukleyWorldOfBikes Now they've done it twice in the space of 5. Good on em!

  • england where betta when it mattered in 2005....its not like they comprehensively beat australia.......they just played betta when it mattered

  • I think the ashes should be played constantly.

    Its the best version of the cricket game in the world.

    Fuck 2020's

    fukc the world cup

    all i care about is england winning ashes beating austrialia

  • why the music? the commentary alone would have been just fine.

  • @paulwwwynne This was the theme music for C4s cricket program which the Ashes was broadcast on and also the music used for the montage at the end once we'd won the ashes. For me, it's perfect.

  • Yeah, that really worked, didn't it?

  • i think Ashes should be played eve after 2 years!!!!!!!

  • they are, thats why england wont them back in 2009, because they lost them in the forgotten serries in 2007 were england lost 5 nill in australia

  • The Yankees suck!

    Go Red Sox!

  • and who's in the world series right now?

  • the Phillies ;)

  • @famousstrauss YEAH!

  • @yankeefan6493

    baseball LOL yawnnnnnnnnnn. there's a reason only american play baseball (310million) and..

    england, ireland, india, australia, new zealand, pakistan, bangladesh, sri lanka, west indies, south africa, and holland play cricket. hmm i make that about 2billion people.

  • @JoshRobertson142 u fucking shit !!!!american population is just 1/10 of india , n indians r crazy for cricket

  • @divya23bnsd

    americas population is 310million, india is 1.1billion it's just over 3x bigger, and i know indians are crazy for cricket i didn't say they wern't. i was saying how a lot of people people cricket and no one plays baseball

  • Let's not forget last time we defended the Ashes.

    I agree with "tommyboomboom" - let's be magnanimous in victory people.

  • i love the video and the song .. the songs good because it was the music for the cricket on channel 4 for the cricket :) good memories

  • Come guys.... lets at least try and be a little bit magnanimous in victory. What happened to sportsmanship?

  • HAAAAA

  • i love the ashes....even this year's ashes, it is just cricket at its best...and im not even english or australian.

  • gud vid gud music gud series:)

  • Lol the song was the cricket theme when it used to be on Channel 4. Are you children?

  • This years Ashes series is going good, england will probably win.

  • Not anymore...

  • We won at Lords, fucked our criminal little runts!

  • its good

  • i take it all the fucks complaining about the music never watched it on channel 4

  • Agreed Wheresz'.

    I thought the music was superb (channel 4s version without the lyrics)...shit sight better than that turgid crap that accompanies channel 5s highlights anyway.

  • Who said anything abt the music ... That was the official of Ashes 2005. lol

  • why the hell would u play that song!!! im an indian and that song does not go well at all even with bollywood standards!! the hell is wrong with u man, unless your gay for the english cricket team.

    anyway looking to see how 2009 ashes unfolds.

  • agreed- fuicking morons ruinging so many good sporting moments by playing shit music over them?! when is that ever better than hearing the commentators/crowd atmosphere.

  • no more fred...

  • quit your moaning...

  • only a good video because english win. Losers OZ will rule this year....

  • From England's bowling display today, Australia could wipe the floor with us.

  • i agree with sinnical, fucking gay music ruins this video, would've been better without music.

  • Game on!!!

  • video is great no doubt but you kinda screwed it up by putting that shitty Mambo song.

  • no doubt michael clarke will get bowled out last ball of the day a few times

  • 2007 was a boring series, people talk about 2005 because it was really exciting all the series was great!!!!

    Ps. why is the first test in wales? :S

  • england wales cricket board......:P

  • warney dropped the ashes....

  • the harmison wicket was the most important. one wicket from one ball needed and he came up with the goods. and all you aussies who have had there heads up their arses since 06/07 will be in for one hell of a shock come the end of this series

  • Hopefully the Ashes coming up won't be one-sided for either team.. about time we had another decent clash I reckon

  • get over it 2005 was a fluke come on assuies to win 5-0.

  • ponting to get out to our 12th man again anyone?

  • neither result would be as devastating as 5-0 (2006-07) nor as surprising as 2005. Though i am praying that series be as thrilling as latter. For the love of God & test cricket. Just imagine would we get to see 4 of the 5 tests that summer had it been a 4-day affair, an unwholesome idiotic idea ICC is mooting.

  • do you mean 2005 or 07 because in 2005 we played so much better cricket you and should have won by more, but if you mean 07 yh we did play shit. i got over it the day after, but you obviously cant get over 2005

  • everyone fails to mention 2007 though

  • thats because it was a boring series and nobody over here thought we could win anyway, where as 2005 was a great series and even you have to admit that

  • youre the kind of person who dosnet like to admit england played aload of shit. yeah 2005 was a good series but at the end of the day england got thier arses kicked in 2007 get over it

  • awsome song :P

    legendry song for legendry series this series got me into cricket

  • the music ruins it

  • Oh Hello!

  • HARTLEPOOOOOOOOOLLLL

  • yh u got a problem

  • at 0:27 wat is dis songs name plzzz i need 2 know! :))

  • mambo number 5

  • forest fan?

  • yh u got a problem

  • lou bega - mambo no. 5

  • one of the greatest test series

  • australia had one of there strongest side then but look at englands new side this is who is replaced

    ashley giles - g. swann and monty .. steve harmison - james anderson micheal vaughan - bopara .... stuart broad!!!!! england have a younger and alot stronger side australia are gunna get whooped 2 - 0 woooooo

  • get ready for some more roo shaggers

  • england got shut the fuck up in the next ashes series which showed how much of a fluke 2005 was

  • fluke? boy england played the best cricket they had played in a long time in that series, and australia just weren't up for it. it doesnt make sense to win a 5-test match series by "fluke" u fucking retard. thats the whole point of playing 5 matches, to really see who is the best in that series.

  • what about all of those incorrect decisions that went against Australia? I remember one game where damian martyn middled the ball on to his pad and was given out LBW.

    The two tests you won were the two tests McGrath was out injured

    Australia were no where near their best either

  • Comment removed

  • I don't really care about 20 20, in my opinioun it's just a bit of fun,same with one dayas. I prefer test and I'm backing mighty England to win a thrilling 2-0 ashes victory. I recon that steward broad will be a great player for england, one of the best ever!

  • australia deserved to go out of 20 20 they played poor cricket. england lost to holand but showed heart and dertermination against pakistan

  • england 2 win 20 20 dont understand criket but now the ozzys r out shud do good

  • I think this series will be very close. Twenty 20 won't play a part, I think going out early will give Australia more time to prepare.

    The convicts have lost a lot of quality in Gilchirst, Haden and Warne, but still have a very talented team and are still the team to beat. If we have a fully fit Pietersen and Fintoff we have a chance. Maybe the likes of Bopara and Cook will stand up and be counted

  • England were SUPERB and had my support for this particular series HOWEVER english cricket has been nicking its living for decades now. Flintoff and Pietersen and thats about it. How many matches do the richest country in the commonwealth actually win, about 27% of all matches played since 1979. Dont just raise your game at home against the Aussies, do it on every tour you pathetic whingers. Dont blame the pitches, dont blame the climate, dont bblame too much cricket just try to win each game!!!

  • You should know all about losing being a pom. Cant win the ashes, and you cant even beat Holland.

  • Have a nice 2 weeks in Leister.

  • your out muhahahaha

  • That they may have, however if it wasnt for the amazing swing they somehow conjured, they would not have won the series - that along with Kaspo being given out incorrectly in the 5th test.

  • Nice vid, cept for the bias, one way look at the series. England had to cheat to win this series - the only reason the ball swung, was a little thing called a cough lozenge. Then in 2007, AUS beat them 5-0 without the help of their sticky friends...and now, this year, once again they will suffer defeat at the hands of the EXTRAORDINARY ELEVEN!

  • settle down mate the poms played well in 05

  • Ah shut your hole you sore losing colonial

  • Making more friends I see Funkygooboy, LOL.

  • Following me round like the pathetic , poorly educated loner you are I see.

  • Following you round? Yep, that's a well educated man, LOL.

  • The series utterly superb entertainment, then in true, over the top style we had to knight our players, parade around Trafalgar on a bus, meet the PM pissed up only to get whooped 5-0 18 months later.

    Come on boys think about it a bit...win, most excellent; but don't put yourselves up for crash test dummies next time around.

    Come on Jimmy....

  • by far my favorite and most entertaining test series i have ever watched

  • By far!!

  • amazing looking back and seeing how much spirit there was in the team then, joy at taking wickets, sense of comraderie. compared to todays limp performances that seem to lack real drive and energy

  • Comment removed

  • That was sound as,cheers for posting this up mate :-)

  • KP won this series for England, Warne should have been captain, we would have won 5-0 then.

  • FREDDIE won it for them not KP sucker

  • Comment removed

  • look at KP whos sucking only dicks right now.And FREDDIE has earned such respect througout the world.U can take the latest tour of INDIA as an example.Only FREDDIE was effective as a bowler.AND as a batsman he was the only one who looked like taking away the fifth match from the "CHAMPS"

  • Look, dont judge others by your own fantasies. I know you dream of sucking off Pietersen, thats why you mention oral and pietersen in the same incoherent sentence.

  • Oh come on, it was a team effort. Strauss, Tescothick and Vaughan got runs and the whole bowling attack was superb.

    It HAD to be a team effort to beat the Aussies.

  • This was by far the best Test series I have ever watched, I was 13 at the time and I remember sitting there and I couldnt take my eyes of the TV, pure entertainment, Aussies probally should have won it though.

  • Comment removed

  • indeed, 2005 ashes was one of the most captivating test series I've seen.

  • lovely first shot, i remember watching that on tele

  • Greatest series I ever saw ... how bout you??

  • I think you'll find that Simon Jones was injured when Gary Pratt ran out Ricky Ponting at Trent Bridge and again Aussie whinning has got the laws of cricket changed again!!

  • i realise that. but they had been doing it all series, but i guess the most crucial one was legit.

  • oh and also a shame they used their 12th man as a specialist fielder and let their players take breaks.

  • it's also a shame that england ball tampered, this win will be tarnished forever.

  • it's a shame that the next ashes series was so hyped up and england sucked a dick.

  • Ashes time is funny because its when Mark Nicholas gets torn between the two.

  • Hey where did this test play again???

  • Shane Warne is a bigger dirty cheating cunt he took drungs his mum gave him and is an all round nasty piece of work. Take a look at your own first before you go round accusing others

  • The diuretics he took weren't performing enhancing....we've had a look at our own and ARE ACCUSING OTHERS....especially when they admit to it!!!!!! Thank god justice was served and you had your pants pulled down here and lost 5 - 0 hey??? ha ha ha ha ha...here endeth the lesson......

  • Underarm incident 1981. End of discussion you dirty cheating aussie criminal cunt. Fuck off, you know nothing.

  • mtk: You've got to be a sad to spend all your time on YouTube slagging off another country because you are good at a sport which is essentially played at World Class standard by about 5 teams. You must feel good about yourself and your crusade as a keyboard warrior. You ever been outside Australia, or is your self esteem so low you have a have to turn to a neediness psychosis that relies on the success of a few athletes? Get a life, get a grip, remove the stick from your arse and see the world.

  • See the world soap dodger? Perhaps you might like my World Cup 2006 videos from Germany......

  • Not really, I hate soccer.
