Everyone remembers the series, and everyone remembers how it started. A packed house at Lord's witnessed the infamous moment when Steve Harmison struck Ricky Ponting on the helmet, drawing blood from the gutsy Aussie skipper. That alone was hardly likely to stop a player like Ponting, but Harmison continued to bowl superbly, and removed Australia's captain soon after.

Ricky was the toughest cricketer of the modern era that I ever saw. He was hit flush on the face by Sami and he didn't flinch. Kemar Roach broke his elbow and he didn't show any pain. What a champ!
Got hit in the jaw fielding at silly point, walked it off like a champ. Broke his pinkie, fielded the whole day and the next test match and the 2011 world cup. A real tough nut.
@@NaveenKumar-tv1vfhe was a tough player indeed. A true example of the Aussie never give up attitude. But I'm preety sure your last part of the comment isn't true. Broken finger doesn't take too long to be fixed.
Thn you don't knw who is the greme smith
None of the overrated Tachin Sendulker, Kirat Vohli , Sohit Rarma can ever match. Indian especially Hindu players from India are so bad yet RSS hindutva media goes ga ga ga

Advertised: Brutal opening spell by Harmison
Reality: One ball shown over 5 minutes and one ball shown over 3. Well done ECB 👏👏
khawajth expected from an ifiot who didn't watch 2005 ashes bcuz he wasn't born till then. Bloody 10yo are shitting all over the internet.
Their editing skills are first rate shite.
It showed three blows against three different batsmen, and a wicket. But yeah, the editing was bad.
What you want those adverts in between....This is the real cricket.
And it was ALMOST 141 kmph, what a nasty fast ball. Too brutal for Ricky who comes from country where that's slow :)
This happened to Cheteshwar Pujara on the last day of the Gabba test, and he was fine. It shows how much helmets have improved.
Ball has been hitted almost 5 times to pujara
I was looking for this comment exactly !
@@sohandas1469 not even 5 more than 8 times
@@sohandas1469 Please start working on English writing skills. While it may not be our first language, doesn't hurt to learn the nuances.
You cannot imagine how pathetic it feels to read bad English. Just saying!
@@roman5782 "ball was hit more than 8 times" is this correct?
ashes 2005 is still the best cricket ever. Never forget simon jones!!!
Senor eggnogs I concur!
Senor eggnogs impossible to forget him, he's the hero of ashes 2005 n ist time he looks better than Anderson
Dear Oh Dear... I Was in 10th Standard and was Hospitalized. Enjoyed Every Single Moment of the Series...Amazing Absolutely. Nerve Taking 2nd and 3rd Tests..
Simon Jones was probably better then any present English bowlers.He had the pace,swing,and reverse swing in his arsenal.Poor him always besieged by injury
That bloke was really good!
Ponting was one of the toughest batsman of all time and at this moment in time Harmison was one of the best fast bowlers in the world ...the bounce that he extracts is remarkable
Viv batted against thommo, Pascoe, hogg, imran, wasim without helmet and with great success and at times destroyed them
2005 Ashes series is the most brilliant Test series I ever watched!!...Every match went down to the wire and it could have gone either way. Both teams played with unbelievable grit and passion
almost correct. Australia thrashed England in first test but then yes tests 2 3 4 and 5 went right down to the wire.
Hope u are watching ind vs aus border gavaskar watching
@@sohandas1469 ....Watched it, amazing series and a brilliant comeback by india. But no way near the 2005 ashes in terms of entertainment
Yes luckily lots of the Aussies were close to retirement so it gave the English a chance, the following series wasn't as close as the Aussies put a bit more effort in winning the series 5-0 🤣🤣🤣
One bowler i will never forget "Simon jones" and his bowling action i love it.
Yeah! Injuries were just an excuse to take him out, conspiracies killed that man. Simon Jones fell prey to nepotism, dirty politics and palatial conspiracies.
What a Fine Bowler !!!
Now, Harminson is- Jofra Archer
And Ponting is- Smith
Disagree
Smith can be ponting but No one can be harmisson or hoggard
Ponting was a tough character and never gave up..great leader
not leader. he was crook who won many games by cheating. he was crybaby only he was fortunate. here he was clearly shattered and couldn't play at all during whole series. he was only tough against medium pacers not fast bowlers.
brown agreed.
He was a cheat
Anil Singh you are idiot
Ponting play in Australian pitches which was fast and bouncing
Chris brown...hold ur tongue u dumbass...what do u mean by where we belong we are right on top of this world thats is where we belong...u chicken shit...
Last time Ponting cried was right when he was born. What a toughie!
4:13 That guy at the back enjoyed it
Ponting had a very strong character 🙏🙏🙏🙏 his expression and the way he reacted after been hit 👍👍
ponting very tough & not fear any injuries
But he was the most arrogant and annoying player
Arrogant
Sometimes he had been arrogant but u can't question his passion and aggression
I agree he a champion model for his agression and tough character on the field
Those olden days are golden days for both teams and for fans. ..really missing the legends😌😌😌😌
Certainly the best ashes series I've ever had the pleasure to watch, well done England we'll get you this year.
It's not easy to be Ricky ponting ♥
Because of this series alone, I am still stuck in 2005.
First the tri-nation ODI series.
Then this - A big historical series between the two of the fiercest arch rival.
The middle of the monsoon season, admissions going on for few months, a whole lot of time to enjoy this series of 2005, make memories & moments to remember & cherish.
Ponting continued batting despite injury. Brave Warrior
Not in that innings
@@stephenbuffery180 I remember he got stitched in his face, started to jump for warm up and continued to bat.
@@amudan not in that innings have a look son
Ricky Ponting is a living legend
Most underrated bowler Steve harmision
Ashes 2005 was one of the best tournament I have ever watched Simon Jones , Flintoff and Pietersen's batting especially against Brett Lee were best in this tournament.
2005 Ashes was the one which forged in me a passion towards the gentleman's game
I think till 2005, ashes was like real war. No English player or Aussie player would be bothered to check if hit on the grille. Now it's like friendly matches. Also, batsmen taking such blows will surely leave the field and sub will come in
Rohanji, Ashes was played in the past with a lot of zest and zeal and the bitterness was palpable. Both sides had hot headed fighters like Flintoff, Brett Lee , Johnson etc.,. Now the players on both sides are level headed and less hostile. More over, with the advent of global tournaments like IPL, players from both countries are playing for the same franchise resulting in bonhomie. I still recall the Ashes played in the early 70's when the likes of Dennes Amiss, Mike Dennis and John Edrich were suffered body blows all over the body , especially on knuckles and fingers , at the hands of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson and had to be hospitalized . Such was the rivalry and animosity between the sides.
This Australian team gets a lot of hate just because they were competitive and carried the mentality of winning at any cost. I hated them myself but as I look at them now I can’t help but respect that team. It will take a long time for any team to do what that team did
I'm ok with winning but timing at any cost? That's not ok
This team cheated a lot specially against India
Remember Ponting raising his finger saying Ganguly was out caught in slips when it had been picked from the ground?
@ tyler durden
they get a lot of hate because of the extends they go to get batsmen out. They will keep on with nasty dirty sledging to unsettle batsmen which is truly against the spirit of the game.
@@thegoatjarif9071 hi low life creature .... why can't you be at the least 'descent' ??
They were and are hated not because of there competitive game , but because they were and are bunch of cheaters. Whenever they are on the verge of losing they start bad sledging. Bunch of cheaters lead by likes of ponting , symonds and a long list
Arwin 2004 i think u don’t watch cricket , u don’t remember ponting grounded a catch still appealing in slips against saurav ganguly , ur beloved symond clearly edges the ball and stand still on the wicket and wait for bucknor to give not out. Many such instances are there where u Aussies supporter turns blind-eye.
Its important to remember this was before Philip Hughes was killed.
Probably my most fav series of all time. Still remember how Aussies trounced England in 89, and from thereon it was the same story one Ashes after another. Until 2005. Finally, after nearly two decades, England had an eleven that could go toe to toe in a war of attrition versus the Aussies. and What a series this was. Memorable. Unforgettable!
Not easy to act normal in such pain.
It requires mental toughness.
Until Border Gavaskar 2021, ashes 2005 was my favourite test series.
BG was no way near to Ashes
@@darshanoza1063 but now a days India vs Australia is better than Ashes
@@prajwal3280 joke of the day 😛 have you watched the 2019 ashes though? The ashes will always remain the greatest test series.
@@prajwal3280 You can add for Indians. But ashes is certainly the best out there.
I didn't see every test match in ashes 2005 and I literally saw every ball in 2021 bg it was great but not upto the ashes 2005 maybe differs from person to person
Thanks ECB for making relive those great moment's of a great ashes series of our entire life nd I'm sure it wouldn't be repeated nor could one come close too
I watched this Live... The best Ashes series ever in the history.. 2005... Flintoff was the hero... Loved this blow from Harmison 🔥..
2005 ashes series was one of the best series in test history. it was a true tough competition between 2 wonderful teams 😊
Best Ashes series of all time.
@@Stu0808 or a neutral, which I am 😀
@@Stu0808 nah I think the best period. It was sheer drama. The aussie team at the their very best finally beaten. Made the ashes a competitive event again
There was a series back in 1902 you might consider.
@@renatocarini497 Yes, the 1902 series probably was at least as good. Not many around who remember it though :D
@@SCFMH 😅😂🤣
I love reading about it though, some amazing cricket.
Imagine a Test where the scoreboard at lunch reads: 173-1
I also enjoyed reading about the 1894-95 series, David Firth's book 'Stoddy's Mission'.
Love this footage.. absolutely LIVE is awesome. Bring more
These Australians certainly knows how to play with pain
That is why their asses were bleeding through out the ashes.....Cheating SAND PAPERS
This is mental toughness
Wtf every team plays with blood & sweat ... Remember Kumble & Greame Smith. Learn to appreciate the players of your countries too
Ian Botham took a bouncer to his face. Broke his teeth. He simply spat them out and continued batting.
Look at the affect it had on broad when taking a short ball to the face he can’t play short balls for the fear it only takes one to cause serious fear and as much as I don’t like pointing he was a tough bloke to take it and carry on
This is the cricket we 90s kid always say is missing right now. There is no aggression, playing mind games with opponent, showing character, being ruthless, standing and facing 150kph+ bouncers. Damnnn it, this cricket was pure class.
I remember each and every single ball from this series. This was the finest series ever contested between any two cricketing nations. What hostile bowling by Harmison.
Remember Ponting getting hit in the face once by a fast bowler (who bowled 130+ maybe) 'without helmet' . Got hit. Got back up. And started batting as if nothing had happened. Tough as hell.
Nameless Monster 130+? Much more, Harmison was 145 if not more in his prime
Minez x Terrz I wasn't talking about Harmison. I was talking about some other bowler who hit him in the head
Nameless Monster
Ponting was hit by Muhammad Sami
Mohd sami of Pakistan and he was quite nippy around 90mph..punter took it right onto his chin.
czcams.com/video/OeI6YuYcPJg/video.html there you go
I still get goose bumps thinking about this series .... And it all started with this spell .... 👌
So determined so gutted , R.Ponting is the man. My salute to him.
😂 gotta love Michael Holding true champ. “Well it’s certainly not a half volley at 60 miles an hour”
This was also the best series of all times I have watched full series,flintoff was hero of this series.
The greatest test series I have watched in my life so far..the quality of cricket played was of another level...
One of the greatest series of all times! Simon Jones was one bowler who I thought would go on to take 300 test wickets for England. As it turned out, he played tests for only a couple of years and barely 20 games..a big loss.
Shane Warne's spin to Andrew Strauss is the finest spin ball in the history of cricket ?? No, Don't think so. In 1993 Ashes, the ball to Mike Gatting was beast, that's why GATTING BALL is the BALL OF THE CENTURY.
No doubt, Ashes 2005 was class A+ cricket.
GATTING
@Monty Python the Flying Circus I have not seen the getting ball, before committing here. Sorry. But truth is that GATTING BALL IS BEST. In 2005 , Warne bowled from right side of umpire, But In 1993 to Mike Getting was from left side. I am editing my comment.
@@nickreid5939 yeah, Nick you are right. I haven't seen the ball to English Mike GATTING in 1993 ASHES , before committing here. No doubt, the getting ball is BEAST. I am editing now.
But Gatting's was ball of 20th century, and Warne's was ball of 21st centrury.
@@hippo5035 There is a long time left in this century. Someone will surpass. Someone may have already surpassed.
But the Gatting wicket was far superior to the Strauss wicket.
Got to give respect to Ricky for his courage there
Awesome! Harmison was a BEAST!!!
Good clip but why label it "Brutal opening Spell" and only show us "brutal" ball from Harmisson to Ponting after which he gets hit for 4 then a break then he gets out. "Live coverage" means that we get 6 straight minutes of waiting for Ponting to get ready compared to 3 balls total.
Sheer waste of time
thanks.... saved me some time. Disliked
This is such a disappointing video
G
Did you expect a few overs of bouncers? It's test cricket man. Try to grab its essence or go watch T20
It's a great series I will never forget.
Harmison is one of my favourite bowler, he is tall and can hit the pitch hard, unfortunately he couldn’t prove himself as one of the worlds best bowlers....
Aussies got what they deserved in 2005 Ashes truly a wonderful series win for England
England got what they deserved in 2006/7 in reply, yet another 5-0 flogging.
@@nyosito that series sucked
England is the home of cricket the atmosphere is so much better
@@leftfield5914 only if you live in England
Those were the golden days of world cricket
My wooooordd goosebumps.. Can associate my whole childhood 2 that '05 ashes
After seeing 2005 ashes highlights and knowing about australian dominance, I am still feeling that why I had not been in that era to watch live ashes 2005. I was 6 years old @2005 and don't know about cricket much then. Watching such matches live is a great feeling, second to nothing.
this is the best ashes test series for me 😊
No doubt India vs Australia 2020-21 series was great, but in my opinion this was the greatest Test series of the century!! I miss those days when Test cricket used to be interesting because there were no flat tracks and the players were also world class
Golden time of cricket... Just wonder will we ever see again legends like these fighting hard Everytime....
I loved his first ball of the 2007 series.
Jastin Langer played under captaincy of Ricky Ponting nd Ricky Ponting is coaching under jastin Langer..
Uhmmm..okay? Thanks for that very random fact.
Its justin langer
Md Dhoni & fleming also in CSK
How many of you consider these Australia team as the VILLIAN TEAM
They won all matches using scratch paper, sure.
They were top class animals.
cric nova I had a love/ hate relationship with them I loved and admired their individual performances but as a team I hated their dominance during this era but what a time it was I was 13 during this series and I still rmr it bc for once they got their comeuppance lol
Specially we indians don't like Aussie team ..they use to fucking win all the time..hate that😂
Have been fortunate enough to watch the entire Ashes 2005 Live. Greatest test series ever!
One of the best series I ever watched
Looking at the team chart at 2:31, the quality of players in that Australian lineup and to know England still beat them 2-1 in that series, is, I think, a massive achievement.
Todays batsman are very lucky recent time no such bowler in world that make scare to batsman by thier brutal bouncer....
You forget a ARCHER
2005 Ashes was T20 match in every session..
Best cricket tournament so far..
Now in 2021, when I see this video,I remember was watching this series live in 2005!
0:00 to 0:15 with dat Ultramotion pure goosebumps moment... Brutal yet worth a watch
He probably wanted to shout up to the balcony "you fucking cheats"!
This was a great series.
Ponting was a fearless bloke.
ponting very tough & not fear any injuries
He was still made to bleed though, by England.
Cricket: I am gentleman's game
Ricky Ponting: Hold my helmet!!!
best Ashes series of all time...
amazing Adelaide 2006 is better imo
Ponting is a legend.. respect from India!
Border and Ponting are a fierce and ferocious individual who build their team to become a rock solid opponent for every team.
Now a days these kind of bowlers are hard to find. Only Ferguson and Archer comes close to this.
Mridul Barman ishaant Sharma Best in test cricket
Glad that Harmison never went 2 apologize. Australians, esp. Ponting, deserve this kind of treatment regularly
Luke Smith whether he wanted or not is totally irrelevant. We all know what tactics the australian team uses ... Not at all in the spirit of sporting.
Luke Smith im from india ... We all know the sydney test, manhandling our president during ct presentation, sledging to provoke opponents, brain fade of smith, abusing kohli etc .... Aussies players need to grow up ..
Luke Smith Australia ruined cricket with their shitty little attitudes a long time ago, Ponting needed to have his head done in like that midget Phil Hughes
Luke Smith Yeah, but for how long do you think it's gonna remain a rich country? We were rich too once. Time sure does have a way of reversing equations. Australia doesn't have the population to defend herself. When somebody does invade you lot, you'll surrender like the cowards you well and truly are.
Luke Smith the point was with the attitude of players. There is no denying that corruption is there but at least our players aren't such bad losers.
Erroll Alcott... sorted my knee out when I was playing rugby league. Great Physio. Even better bloke. Did a lot of the rugby league lads around Sydney. Respected worldwide..
Best ever ashes test series I have ever seen
Harmison will forever be remembered... as the guy that missed the cut wicket and bowled one straight to third slip... 😂😂
Usually one feels bad for a batsman hit on the head and injured, its just somehow satisfying to see when it happens to Ponting.
Why?
not a single England player went to see how he was, it set the tone for the series
Even though we lost this test, I think this was such an important spell. It set the tone that we weren’t going to be bullied by Australia and that we were just as aggressive as them
Back when winning a test match meant something
Does it not now then?
I guess not as much due to the prominence ODIs and T20s
Rickey is the real hitler of cricket after 2000's. He never give up among any other player such an tough guy and dominating the whole world with his batting as well as sledging
That was an unbelievable quartet of bowlers.
The best ashes i hv ever seen...
Had never seen blood on ponting's face trying to pull! Wow! Bloody bouncer!
Thats what happens when you come to d front foot every ball.......loved Dravid when playing Bretlee in Gavaskar Border Trophy..
This was the series that got me into cricket at the age of 10 now I'm 23
Flintoff,Hogard,Jones and Harmission such a dream foursome combination against the best batting lineup the Aussies that time.It provides more thrill than a superover in t20
Now that's rare, punter getting beaten on a short ball
who is here between 2019 Ashes
like
Years later I saw Ponting in an interview and saw the tiny scar that remains from that ball. Brought back fond memories 😁
The Australians were an incredible force in cricket at that time and to see their best batsman get rattled that way is incredible. And to see the way they respond is also very interesting.
Best england team ever and the best test series i have ever witnessed
Here's a question for the ecb, how much did it cost to get the Aussies to throw this series??
Congratulations to England and ECB on becoming world champions 2019. This english squad is a legendary combination and has classics such as Joe Root and absloute prodes(prodigy) such as Ben Stokes.I guess a golden era of cricket for english cricket Well done and wish you folks great success ahead!!!
Harmison with such height and pace and with that line n length was terrific.
They got a brutal opening spell from Glenn McGrath in return...
Alok Sardesai he wasn't that quick though Brett Lee was though quicker even
Please upload the live coverage of all 5 tests.
Live ??or highlights??
Best Cricket ever 2005 Ashes.. Not a single ashes can beat 2005.. What a series...
A sharp spell and set the tone that win or lose we're in this
Normally, it is the Aussies who resort to body line mostly. It is really fun to see that Aussies getting a taste of their own medicine. In the recent ashes, Jofra Archer ackwardly hit both Smith and Labuchagne, a sight I thoroughly enjoyed.
