"Aaaaooohhw! Nice Area Shane!"

Advantages: Great memento of an outstanding series
Disadvantages: Disappointing extras, feature missing vital factors

...years, and have lived through the highs and lows of each test series with the England squad. Every time the Ashes came around I always looked forward to a master class by one of the greatest cricketing forces the world has known….and England played too. That was until the spectacularly gripping series of 2005, commemorated on this DVD, when England regained the little brown urn for the first time in 18 years.


The Packaging
...blue and white box, featuring the victorious England captain holding the urn on the front. Each DVD box has a cover relevant to its content - DVD 1 features Freddie Flintoff in classic starfish celebration pose; DVD 2 shows a radiant Matthew Hoggard; DVD 3 features the whole England team on the cover, fronted by Vaughan holding the Ashes urn aloft. The back of each case shows flaming stumps in front of the faces of the two captains, Michael Vaughan ... more

The Ashes - The Greatest Series

Advantages: A collection of the greatest test series of them all
Disadvantages: Special features lack substance

...and eating cucumber sandwiches. By the end of it, it had enticed a whole nation into it's hypnotic spell, as well as being a unique sporting event. England vs. Australia, otherwise known as The Ashes, takes place every two years - once in England, then in Australia, yet the small urn has been held by the Aussies ever since England last won in 1987. Yet the patriotic Englishman had some reason to be cheerful and optimistic this time around with players ...
...players to great ones in the past 18 months. Yet no one could have forseen the drama that was to unravel: The first of the 3 disks in the box-set contains the 1st and 2nd tests - Lords, July 21-24th 2005 and Edgbaston, August 4th-7th 2005. After a brief build-up featuring England vs. Bangladesh earlier in the summer and the one-day matches, the action commences - after an explosive spell by Steve Harmison, who took 5 wickets in the innings, and ...

That were wasted on thee lad

Advantages: Comprehensive, Great Value, A sporting occasion that surpassed hype
Disadvantages: Mark Nicholas (minor)

Please do not judge the contents of this excellent dvd by the slim highlights of the Ashes being shown on Channel 5 tonight. Introduction If ever there was a silver lining to the BBC devoting most of our licence fee to 'strictly celebrity boil an egg, buy a house, rebuild the bathroom with balsa wood and sell an old charlie wells ashtray for 20p at an antiques fair....' type programmes, this dvd is it. Channel Four's coverage of cricket and horse ...
...by the BBC (except for the Lakeside Darts which is entertaining in a different way). Maybe the powers at be at the BBC can look at 4 to see how to do it. Sorry to go on but I had to get that off my chest. In one of the post match interviews, Jones says how nice it is that cricket is on the front page. He sums up the series and this dvd. Whilst football analysis attaches superlatives to mediocrity, here the sport did all the talking and superlatives ...

winning the ashes...don't forget 2005!

Advantages: uplifting, patriotic, passionate, gripping
Disadvantages: hard to find any, unless you support australia

...Set provides great memories of the sensational ashes series that took the nation by storm. Bringing you extended highlights of action from all 5 test arenas, this is sure to be a fantastic collectors item for any cricketing fan, or indeed those abiding patriotic passions. Having recently won the ashes for the 2nd time in 4 years, English cricket is on a real high yet again, and we mustn't forget the extraordinary achievement of 2005. Winning the ...
...a massive moment that encaptured the nation with joy, fear, excitement, despair, disbelief and celebration among the many emotions circulating throughout. ===QUALITY=== The 3-disc set boasts over 8 hours of action, complete with commentating from well known past-masters of the game and in-deph analysis of the key moments with simon hughes, using the latest technology including hawkeye. The picture is of a very high quality, as you'd expect, and the ...

Ashes to England!

Advantages: England glory!
Disadvantages: Not any more...

The greatest ever Test Series bar none. The 2005 series between England and Australia was one of the closest, most keenly contested set of contests in the history of cricket. Having endured eighteen years of suffering at the hands of several ruthless Australian units, despite all the hype and hope of the nation it was still difficult to envisage an England series win. From a personal point of view this series will live with me forever irrespective ...
...was bought for me after the series and to be frank, I am not really somebody that is particularly interested in the 'extras' whether it is with sport or film. I notice that there is a little bit of match analysis available and a Richie Benuad commentary feature - nothing to write home about. The Series -------------- FIRST TEST - On a rip roaring opening day Steve Harmison hurt both Justin Langer and Ricky Ponting with vicious short pitched deliveries ...

Relive the Ashes Series (the one that we won)

Advantages: Relive all the tension of the 2005 series
Disadvantages: None

Who can ever forget the magnificent 2005 Ashes series. The Australians came into the series having held the Ashes since 1987, could England finally release their grip this time round. England were full of confidence going into the series on the back of their winter success in South Africa and had skittled the Australians out for under a hundred in the recent Twenty-20 match. This Australian team was not going to lie down though. Posessing stars like ...
...a tough test for the English Lions. I had this bought for me as a Christmas present which cost £20 at the time. I'm sure it has now been reduced This DVD captures all the main actual as caught by the Channel 5 camera, key interviews and clips that were not broadcast on the main TV coverage. The DVDs are ordered as follows :- DVD 1 - 1st Test at Lords, 2nd Test at Edgbaston The first test of the series saw Kevin Pietersen make his England test ...
