Ricky Ponting would later call it one of the toughest spells of bowling he ever faced. With Australia yet to lose a wicket in pursuit of England's target of 282, Michael Vaughan threw the ball to his talisman Freddie Flintoff. And boy did he deliver something special!

Andrew Flintoff is the perfect example of not judging a cricketer by his stats. His impact and influence was beyond numbers and only a few could do that.
Agresive man
@@rakeshtalpada7484 nope, he hit broad not him. And those were his last days in cricket
Also a perfect example of backing talent as a selector. His ordinary stats are largely a result of him really fumbling his way into international cricket. When he hit his peak between 2002-2006 his stats read on the Imran Khan all-rounder level. Jimmy Anderson is another good example if you look at his numbers a significant way into his career.
@Ben Thirlaway that's true, I already saw lot of videos after that, I apologise
You can relate him to the Ben Stokes of England’s current team. Bens stats don’t flatter anyone’s, but he’s without a doubt the most influential member of the side, without a shadow of a doubt
The best thing about playing cricket in England is not the cricket itself , but the crowd that the best in the world , especially for test matches.
Yes
You definitely haven’t watched cricket anywhere else
I see where ya coming from, the barny army are great, however the Pakistanis, indians and the west indians are way more passionate about cricket, is there biggest sport....
@@cyclingnut2122 Yes but the Brits seem to respect the test matches the way they should be.
Its their national game and they support not like us
The greatest series ever.
Best summer of my life.
Test cricket at its zenith it swung from session to session never been bettered.
I loved it, im an Aussie , but i secretly barracked for England, another bowler who was a fantastic player in this series was im pretty sure his name was Simon Jones who suffered many injuries that eventually ended his career too soon.
@@mroc7524 unfortunately plauged by knee injuries.
He could swing it round corners Harmy had the pace and bounce,Flintoff bowled with pace and power a very heavy ball hard to get away and Shaggy Hoggard was accurate with a bit of swing. Then you had Ashley Giles at his peak getting wickets at key times.
Great series.
Best ashes iv ever seen I was on holiday with my gf and she fucking hated every minute of it 😂😂cod I wudnt leave the bar flintoff was at the peak of his powers as was jonesy and our bat was to bad either!!!
Best until today perhaps?
FRoT LeET this series is shaping up to be great and stokes innings will go down In legend for sure but this series for two generations meant something special
All we had known was having some good result against others then come the ashes getting walloped by the Aussies, suffering humiliation, shocking batting collapses and them putting us in our places!!
Yet this series we came into it looking good and showed it against a almost invincible Aussie team that was one of the greatest test teams of all time.... it just meant something special and caught the imagination of the whole country and cricket was THE number one sport that summer!!
This broke the hoodoo and gave us hope that we was good enough to compete with the Aussies
This is called real form of cricket. Truly amazing. I still remember this series how Flintoff and Peterson single handedly won ashes against the most dominating team of the era.
Was Warne dropping Pietersen in the last test that sealed the deal. He held that catch and chances are it would have gone to Aus. Wasn’t to but, was the best series I’ve seen and I’m Aussie
@@byza101 Ya mate🔥🔥
When there are two people involved, how can it be called 'single handedly'?
@@koko_koshy just a saying mate, I meant flintoff.
@@koko_koshy ha ha
7:13 to 7:19 the crowd crescendo, goosebumps!!!
This reminded me of football when a big player is about to take a free kick and scores!
He isn't a record holder but a game changer....a magician
At a time where it looked like the end was near for test cricket the poms and the convicts put on the most enthralling series ever, I've never seen football pushed off the back page before or since
Sky pinched cricket shortly afterwards and that killed the game dead.
@@BongoBaggins I get that mate, but if it wasn't for sky don't think we would have such a good team because of central contracts, I'm with you though mate would love it to be on tv
Not much point having a good team nobody watches. Look at the buzz of the World Cup final. Look at the buzz around the 2005 Ashes. Both were on terrestrial TV. Can you name another England cricket performance, only on Sky, which has created any kind of buzz at all?

One of those most iconic Ashes series. So many characters in both teams
Ponting never looked like scoring a run. He was too busy at the crease - obviously nervous as hell. He feigned confidence by his gardening ritual but was fooling nobody. Flintoff revealed him.
idk it looked kinda tactical to slow down the over and take away some of England's momentum. You could be right though
Dont know who wouldnt of struggled in that over to be honest or how Ponting could of played it any better.
@@Dr_Footbrake I agree.....he was tactically shitting himself lol.
I very much doubt Ponting was nervous it was just a very hard over to face
Gardening ritual 😂😂
Flintoff. Aggression/ power/ speed/ focus. Everything.
Mohammad Rizwan his dad is Yuvraj Singh
@@TheSweetbumbum actually that is staurt broad
Mrinmoy Dolai yuvi hit two fours in Flintoff over so that Flintoff abused yuvi and the result was occurred in the next over( that's by broad)..
ponting was his dad in all aspects
Ponting Tendulkar have no nojayatiti he is wrost fellow in India
I love the england spectators👌they are so sporty🙌
Dilip Jadhav well said
By 'sporty', you mean drunk?
only in ashes
@@GedUK Exactly. If you think we are going anywhere without 5 pints in our system you're mistaken hahaha
@@GedUK he meant sporting I guess. No it's not r/woosh. 😀
Pure GOLD! This was the turning point of the series and since then we have NOT lost to Australia at home. The crowd is always exceptional. This is a genuine example of having fun without being rowdy or making inappropriate comments. Last year, we went to Chester le Street(Riverside stadium, Durham) and some of my co workers who had never been to a game of Cricket had an amazing time! The Atmosphere just makes it special! Thanks for the memories, Freedie!
Imagine prime Flintoff and Stokes playing together. England would be unstoppable
None of them still make England's All Time XI.
@@marvel-ouspotterhead8855 you’re dumb you’d have flintoff as a bowling all rounder
Imagine prime X and Y of any team playing together. That team would be unstoppable
And kevin petersen

i watched this with my dad,and we got pissed and had a good laugh, unusually.he died but we still have that moment togethe.
so thank you ricky ponting so terrible captains decisions,and thank you england cricket.
gave my dad 2 things he liked,cricket,and beating aussies at cricket.
scooby doo where are you h
RIP to ur father ... I can understand cause I lost my grandpa 1week ago n i remember we both watching cricket..
@@shailajanetalkar4896 i am sorry for your loss my friend.
@@scoobydoowhereareyou94 u too
Having been there on the day, this does not do justice to how noisy it was during this over. Michael Vaughan subsequently described it as how he imagined scoring a last minute goal in a world cup final would sound like!
Every cricket fan was following this series as they wanted to someone to defeat this incredible Australian side. And England played like possessed demons and gave everything they got. One of the best Test series’ ever.
Runcie Philip They also chested in that series
@@patrickgracias5782 Well, chesting is all part of the modern game.
Mr Flintoff when you announced your retirement we wept in Pakistan , you were a unique personality which we will miss for forever. Love from Pakistan
One of the best tests in the history of cricket
harris aziz why? Cause enlgand won, at home?
Stat Quo because of the actual test match. Every session was competitive. Aussies never gave up having to chase 100 runs with only 3 wickets left. Who could forget Michael Clarke being bowled on the last ball of day 4
harris aziz best tests in the history of cricket is a stretch even with fantastic efforts by both sides. History is long and wide
Stat Quo yes which is why I'm stating its one of many great tests
harris aziz he master of swing 😘😘 Boler
Hatsoff for Spectators.
Ian Somerhalder.?
Ian Somerhalder and rats
Ian Somerhalder vs)
Now covid ruined everything
Freddie was a magician. So much respect for this wonderful man, much love from Australia.
Crowd like hell
Love that
This is cricket
Pure bowling
Great players everywhere
Nothing like today
To SM: What do you think of Root, Stokes, Bairstow, and Anderson?
I was working in southern Spain and my boss was the only Spaniard that loved cricket. We spent every day of this test drinking cañas, small beers, getting battered and introducing the locals to cricket. Great days, bad hangovers 😂
Flintoff is a hell of a asset for any team. A Genuine Allrounder. Hard to see guys like him these days
Athif Khan Hardik pandya
Ben stokes.....
keep loving he's nowhere close to Flintoff
Noel Naveen Paul
On which basis?
jayaraj s Do you see batsman pissing their pants off when Pandya comes to bowl? Do you see bowlers pissing their pants off when pandya comes to bat? But they sure did whenever Flintoff comes on to bat or bowl
Ashes is not just a series. It's an emotion. And Flintoff was the Clint Eastwood of English Cricket. Happy memories
Today Telugu news
Why are women allowed to call their matches "Ashes"? Its a nonsense.
You forgot I.T.Botham
This was the greatest test match. I swear we'll never see anything like this ever again
Headingley day 4 ?
Other than Headingley 2019.
Calcutta 2001 Ind Vs Australia...

aguerooooooooo
This video reminds me EA Cricket 2007 game
I was there at the ground . The beer was flowing and the atmosphere was electric
wow Flintoff, whoz watching in 2019? :)
PANDA HARDIK PANDYA WILL NOT COME EVEN CLOSE
Me too
Stokes
Is this what he did after Top Gear?
U r the best
Cricket at its very best. This has so much intensity, skill, and atmosphere. Just a brilliant moment in time.
Flintoff speed is just increasing ball by ball from 81 mph till 90 mph. What an allrounder he was.
His first ball here was 87.6?
Best crowd....love from Tamil nadu..
The best Ashes series without a doubt..
This was the best england team ever..after this test series they could never maintain this team..that time it was too difficult to beat australia.ponting,hayden,gilchrist,warne,bret lee,macgrath
Nawab Restaurant ji
of the batsman, England's highest average batsmen, was still a couple of runs shorter than Australia's lowest. Just goes to show what an incredible series
John Egan And showed how us Aussies were way too reliant on Glenn McGrath's bowling. Two out of form/over the hill bowlers were exposed when he was out injured/ bowling short of 100% fitness.
Nawab Restaurant works great
Agree Nawab.
14 years ago? I can't believe it's that long ago. What a series, respect to both teams.
It's been 18 years
It’s been 84 years
It's been 91 years.
@@alexander_strachan someone didn’t get the memo…
@@StephenCarrIsBald What is the "memo", then?
The behavior of ponting on the pitch says it all..! He was under huge pressure...!!
And thanx to No Ball for completing such a great over by the big man...!!! ❤️❤️
No balls are terrible for the batsmen when they're under huge pressure and just want the over to end.
Iive witness of this match at that time,I was at 8th std in 2005🇮🇳flintoff nailed it. 💪🏻👏
Stokes is a spitting image of Flintoff. Neither have the best stats granted.
But not everything that counts can be counted. Match winners 🔥
I don't think stokes can bowl like flintoff and flintoff cannot bat like stokes🤔
Golden days of England cricket
Good days of india
Now england world champion
Golden days of test cricket for England but now they're in golden days in ODIs
The karizma that Flintoff brings in is really a treat to watch especially those celebrations after every wicket
Flintoff was a joy to watch ,didnt play for super long but still left an impact. A genuine all rounder ,we dont see many these days especially of this quality.
English crowd... Love you
Shiva Amirishetti Yb
Best crowd in cricket but not in football.
@@sabirshah7550 lol.Fair enough.
Sabir Shah why not in football?
Sabir Shah best in football as well just a few violent ones. Unbelievably loyal, passionate and loud just a few morons ruin it for the majority
An absolute entertainer !!
Right below the league of Kallis and Sobers in all time great all rounders.
There are three types of cricketers:
There are the entertainers. The can change the entire complexion of a match or series in a single session, or even a single over with the bat, ball, or even in the field. Botham, Kapil, and Flintoff fall into this category.
One are the accountants. They will efficiently, consistently, and often unmemorably accumulate statistical achievements which look better on paper than they do on the field. Kallis, Hadlee, and to some extent Imran fall into this category.
Then there is Sobers. He was one of a kind who accumulated ridiculous statistics while also being an entertainer.
15 years on and still get goose bumps
one of the greatest test in cricket history ever..... i was taking updates about this test match continuously by BBC news on My Father's radio....i had wish that England should be win...
On that time i was a big anti-Australian Becoz they won the 2003-world cup against My India... that's so hurtful for me... i was just 9 years old on that time...
so great respect for filantop...he won the title of Man of the Series... he played very well as a allrounder in that whole test series....and that was helpful for England to win that test series by 2-1.....
Man, that 2003 final scarred me for life with those 1 handed Ponting sixes. I was a 13 yr old kid at the time. I hated Ponting for that but started to love his batting eventually. Aussies weren't cheaters....just ruthless when at their peak.
@@MrSpermstar me too 13.that time..I cried lot when we lost final
Love you bro, jai hind
Me too
Me too 13 years old that time
Somehow England always manage to find world class genuine all rounders. Botham, Flintoff & now Stokes.
The last from a former colony however.
Stokes can’t be put in the category of Botham & Flintoff as he can win matches with the bat for England but he cannot win matches with the ball as his bowling is weak compared to those two........
@@NITINKUMAR-uc8jz No I am not comparing mate..But still he is one of best all rounders England has produced. Flintoff is a bowling all rounder while Stokes is more of a batting all rounder..But for Botham, I can't say much, he is a legend for reasons though I haven't seen him play.
@@PrakashChandra766 no bro Flintoff is genuine all rounder he is equally good with the bat and ball.....he is pure all rounder.......
In future Sam Curran 😁
My pleasure to watch this hardcore over by Flintoff again after so many years..he makes one of the best batsman in the world..The ordinary!!
Best ashes series in my lifetime and still watching in Australia during covid19 lockdowns
Those were the golden days of cricket.
The series that got me into cricket👍
Best Test Series ever, I don't think of any other series till now as competitive as this. Miss those golden days of Test cricket.
IND vs Australia 2021 series
No hairstyle... Just gentleman game... Golden days 💪💪
Cricket life KP?
What an electric crowd. Woww 🔥
Well it doesn't matter from which country you belongs..
But u always love 2005 ashes..
.
We love 2001 ind Vs aus series, and after that it's one of best
And what a splendid commentary... All over
Gtng tears by watching ponting's batting he's my champ love from India.....
Flintoff is a gifted player, such a joy watching him bowling like that, provided important breakthrough whenever his captain demanded.A true cricket fan never forget ashes 2005,where he single handedly win ashes for England. There is no replacement for Flintoff. Best there is best there was, best forever will be.
I remember the natwest series 2002 . Ganguly took some roam and smashed him on the off side for six
That was too such a joy to watch
LÀNCE KLusNeŕ
@@siddharthsaxena3782 andrew flintoff is better than ben stokes,marcus stoinis,shane watson,angelo mathews
Watching this in 2023 - I didn’t appreciate at the time just how hard those 5 balls were for Ricky Ponting. Utterly terrifying, and he was one of the finest batsmen. 2005 - what a summer.
7:21 that's the trademark.. I remember him when I was like a kid may be... Got his helmet smashed and head hurt against Kiwis at Lord's and then got 105* to seal the match.. Awesome inspiration every time!!
Nepal 🇳🇵
NO
One of my favorite players ever was Flintoff
one of the best ever series in the history of test cricket .... i remember i watched each and every match like my team is playing .....
I was 12 years old - whopping school to watch it (never whopped school ever), staying up until 3am. Best decision I ever made. Best test match of all time.
Flintoff, the greatest players i have ever seen . (love from bangladesh)
Remember watching the end of this match hiding behind the sofa I was so nervous 😂.....you can get the series box set off Amazon used for like a quid or something, bought 3 to give to my mates 😁. Greatest series ever.
I was listening to this match on the radio and I remember it perfectly. The sound made by the crowd behind Freddie as he steamed in to bowl was incredible. They could really sense (Australian) blood!
What an era it was.How many legends there were.Flintoff,Ponting,Sachin,Younis,Lara and so on..Thanks fot sharing such an epic memory
Best series I ever seen so far. Thank u fedy. Missing competitive cricket.
now days 141 kph are considered fast bowlers not fast medium
Freddie bowled such a heavy ball as well when he was on target he was was hard to get away different to the skipping speed of a Brett Lee or Dale.
When it swung he was a beast he tormented Ponting and Adam Gilchrist that summer.

I was at Edgbaston for this Saturday. Flintoff lit up the whole day, he was legendary. Honoured to say I was there.
this series had so many amazing moments and this was right up there.
I remember watching this live. The crowd are/were ridicul0us, wonderful 12th man and I know it's a cliché but you can smell a wicket here before it falls. Freddie running in full steam with all of his nous, it's hard to imagine an batsman coping with this. Pointing is an absolute legend but to see him so out ofplace is credit to Freddie. What an over...power seaming at its best.
Who's here after Jimmy's magical over in Chennai? Geez am Indian but i enjoyed that spell.
One of the favourite all-rounder of my ... Love from Bangladesh
Freddie Flintoff is in my opinion the best fast bowler England has ever had, and he rates as one of the best that cricket has ever seen, up there with the likes of Curtly Ambrose and Bob Willis, far to many great fast bowlers to list. Thanks for sharing this magic over. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
This was Flintoff's Ashes.
I'm
I remember watching this series live on tv after the first test every one thought it will clean sweep for Australia 🇦🇺...well fought series by England 🏴 #best ashes ever
Every delivery was excellent
I'm a 20 year old boy and I love test cricket. I want my kids too to witness live test Cricket.
Mir Burhan i also love test cricket
How many do you have...?
You are 20 dude.. chill out
@@maazshaikh9688 he's a Kashmiri dude bombs won't let him chill out
This is true cricket feels like, this is just Epic show to see ever.
I have watched this video for so many time, huge fan of flintoff from childhood
We will never see this type of cricket again, Passion, aggression everything is here.. Missing these old days of Cricket.😌
The crowd though 👏👏
Miss you Freddie!! these were the golden days of cricket, before all the IPL, BBL and all that junk started creeping in.
Yep. I fucking hate T20. Ironically I find it so boring: no contest between bat and ball!
I agree t20 is awful. Test matches are amazing
Tidal Breakthroughs well, test cricket now isn't all that great either, because the batsmen don't know how to endure.. and the modern day bowling lineup of every team maybe except Australia and South Africa suck.
BJK551
Very good point
BJK551 , well Pakistan and Engalnds test bowling line up isn't bad
Cricket battle of the highest quality. Everytime I come to watch this video, it never disappoints!
Flintoff vs Ponting and Ishant Sharma vs Ponting at WACA, such wonderful treats with similar spices.
Both got Ponting jumping and missing the one that is coming in early in the over and then later in the over edging the one going away. Two tall bowlers using conditions, amazing!
That final ball to get Ponting was UNPLAYABLE
Arguably the greatest test match ever played.😘
Perhaps !
India vs Aus 2002. India won after being forced a follow on.
Sachchidanand Rai

India vs Australia Kolkata test is the best.This series of ashes 2005 is THE best series 😊😊😊😊
Durban 2004 was the best ever test I've seen. England fucked up by taking the bad light option when they were in a good position, would have won had they not done that.
That Roar from ground audience is incredible...
2020 still I'm watching it .great test match ever in history of cricket
Every run in this era was earned 🔥
England have won the world cup !! July 15th 2019. Best cricket ever seen.( one day)
On the flip side England have just been bowled out by Ireland for 85 in a test match one week later, the fun of following England!!
New Zealand won not England
My first Ashes experience. Fond memories of my father following each and every match without missing any sessions.
The celebration after pointing wicket was just hilarious. Really nowadays not seen craze like this.
A golden spell by Flintoff, in an amazing series, in arguably the Greatest Series of All time
Bowling action of Flintoff is something unique. Like a Eagle on a hunt
He is jst average on outside
When ball is moving and bowler finds his rythem with pace, even one of very best starts jumping like popcorn... This was the best Ashes ever seen after 2000... Unfortunately Ponting faced the same situation few years later in Perth against newbie ishant sharma and got out exactly same way, edging to slip.
Yes, Iove the energy the crowd is bringing in
I'd consider it an honour to be worked over by such a great bowler
Absolutely. He was one of the most lethal bowlers to play the game and one of the game's finest gentlemen.
Great bowling to a great batsmen at his peak - averaging 56. Interesting to see the other England faces in that team. Rather more stars than in today's England team...
One unforgettable test.Flintoff at his best I loved his action and Methew Hoggard was my fav. With love from Bowling lover.
That's amazing! I can't imagine a world cup final having this pumped up crowd
Softened him up and Crunch...Haha.
Brilliant...I was there,what a day.
Every time I see highlights I got blazed from Flintoff performance,he is just amazing guy,best all-rounder I have ever seen in my entire life till now.But it quite strange after cricket he not returns in it again ,not seems anywhere,we want you again Andrew
