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!!

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. ♥️😭

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
-

-
Richie benaud and mark Nicolas....what a commentators they were👌👌
-
14 years and counting, this never gets old does it. No test series will come close, even daylight close!
-
Ashes is not just a cricket series it is an emotion ♥
-
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
-
Golden days of cricket..great players with great performances
-
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.

I m not English but still it is one of the best childhood memories I have
-
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.
-
18 years between Ashes wins was a long, bleak and depressing time for us Englishmen. This series meant a lot
-
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.
-
Less than six months after my Grandfather, who instilled my love of cricket, passed. I was in tears at the end of this match.
-
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..!!
-
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.

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