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. ♥️😭

anyone noticed Gilchrist and Warne reaction after KP's century.......just legendary 😀😀

Richie benaud and mark Nicolas....what a commentators they were👌👌

Ashes is not just a cricket series it is an emotion ♥

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 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 m not English but still it is one of the best childhood memories I have

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

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!

18 years between Ashes wins was a long, bleak and depressing time for us Englishmen. This series meant a lot

Golden days of cricket..great players with great performances

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

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..!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was there that day .. one of the greatest days of my life

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

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

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

Quite simply, the greatest Test series of all time. I will never ever forget it....

2005 ashes --- the greatest test series i have ever seen and i am watching cricket for the past 20 years

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

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

Unarguably the best Ashes ever.

Two things about the series: Graham Thorpe was dropped and the whole shebang was on terrestrial tv. Amazing series.

2005. Great weather, great Ashes and great Champions League. My favourite year. :)

Best Ashes in a Millennium 😀😀

Best Ashes series I've seen.

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

The best test series I have ever had the privilege of seeing!

Beauty of this match is the crazy spectators..... Thanks for uploading ...what a match.....best highlights I have ever seen,...

one of the greatest test series i had ever seen...

Fantastic Ashes series, I never get tired of watching these!

one of the best ashes series I've ever seen ,great spirit between them

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 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.

Everytime I watch this series, goosebumps!!!!

Unbelievable cricket. Two brilliant teams, undoubtedly ferocious competition but outstanding sportsmanship. Just fantastic.

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've never witnessed a more exciting ashes than this one! Good summer good cricket

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!

I thought India/ pak matches are a game of nerves. Look at the crowd man.

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

I love Mark Nicholas voice and also Nasir Hussain...

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.

One of the world's best series ever in history 👏👏👏

Test cricket.. You beauty

And that was the day when england had produced their GOAT batsman kevin pietersen❤️

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

Good Old Days of Cricket What an incredible audiences to play in front of

Melbourne desperately needs a test like this, I can't remember the last interesting test at the MCG

And even England didn't know what was to follow down under in 2006 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is the best test innings I witnessed in my life by KP, Respect from Pakistan

What a champion Shane Warne is.

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.

Proper cricketers from both sides 👏👏👏

The golden moments of England cricket

Best ashes series that I have ever seen ...so good to see

Thanks for upload this series

best test series I have been ever seen.. thank you..

Kevin is the greatest batsman to ever hold a cricket bat, period.

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

Best cricket of the century

One of best ever ashes watching in my life wohhh

One of the greatest sporting event happened in world in 2005

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.

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.

oh English Crowd Just Amazing !!!! 😍

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.

#BenStokes 2019 3rd match, Ashes!

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.

One of the beast ashes series that i have watched so far

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,

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)!

Best video ever made on cricket

16:35 to 17: 11 was a memory

Most remembered series ever

This is the best ever Test series in the history of Cricket. England just refused to loss.

We had we have we will have only memories 😭❤️

Flintoff with the cap and the rejection😂😂😢

Ben stokes has now neen replaced by the legend Freddie Flintoff.

Excellent response from KP to Bret Lee

I was waiting for England to win a series

Andrew Straus the legend

very super machi

KP has just give England joy for life if he was not scoring 100 imagine what England cricket has going to be after this

That lightning stroke at 3:16

great game of cricket

What a win by English team, they beat Best cricket team in the history of cricket🎉.

The best ever test series played on this planet the ashes of 2005

The partner of Flintoff M.Hoggi always ball great outswing

4:50 - hello mustachio

well done good job with vedio

I have never seen ashes series better than 2005,
