Steve Harmison bowls Kasprowicz, Ashes 2005 Edgbaston

Looking to level the series, England were in a great position but the crims fought back, a remarkable fightback which resulted in a narrow win for England, Harmy with a bouncer with 2 runs to spare, Jones with the catch

@doza2112

Yeah I racked my brains over that one - why he said that I have no idea

@nurone11

I wouldnt say England were average, that is a real stretch and almost a distortion of truth.

Strauss, Tesco and Vaughan as the top 3 - not many sides would decline those as the opening batsmen in the side. Then we had Freddie, Simon Jones, Harmy (who at this time was on fire for England) and Hoggard. The only real weak links were Geraint Jones and maybe, Ian Bell. Giles wasn't brilliant either.

But no way were England average. Doesn't say much for the Aussies if they were.

@nunnylad1 No, it didn't, The umpires were appalling all during that series. If the right decision was made here Australia would have won the series.

@Firefly0100 LOL it came full off his glove you tool. But as his hand wasn't on the bat it shouldn't have been out.

[Firefly0100]

Disgraceful, came off his forearm, not out.

Hey it was a great game, but not for us australians......... I think australia needed something 250 runs with 3 wickets and i slowly watched it get to one and then kasper do this. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

[cup1966wow]

@1994anmol Actually the ball hit his glove while holding the bat, he then took his hand of the bat. By the way both teams deserved to win, it is called the greatest team of all time. It wouldn't be called that if it was one sided.

@1994anmol Your right, close up slo-mo replays analyzed for ages have shown that. But for the umpire it looks out, and even a referal would probably have ended up with it being out. While the aussies played very well leting England score 400 in one day was what let them down

[samwestbrook1]

best thing to ever happen to test cricket

Jones! BOOWWWDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! :)
