The Ashes 2005 The Greatest Test avi torrent

It's tough to say whether or not the title of this DVD is exactly accurate, lets face it there have been some incredible test matches over the years (Headingly '81 is constantly referenced, the MCG in '98 was a favourite of mine, then we have non-Ashes matches). What is possibly true is that this must be the most exciting end to a test match.

I was abroad during the match, so had been listening to Test Match Special on the internet. I tuned into the final day with England well on top, expecting us to wrap things up quickly. How wrong I was. I ended up more tense than I've ever been, screaming at my computer screen. Then the final wicket came, England had done it, elation!

What amazes me having now watched the highlights on this DVD is that I felt just as tense watching it for the first time as I did when listening, despite knowing what the result was going to be. The whole DVD is good, with Channel 4's commentary team at the top of their game (Mr. Boycott has some classic lines), though the coverage shifts along too quickly for my liking. It could have done to be 30 minutes longer, perhaps with some added analysis. Sill, that's a minor point.

English fans will be deligted to watch this over and over again and I suspect that will go the same for cricket fans in general. This is a game that will long live in the memory. I'm delighted to have a record of it.
