This DVD Box 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 high profile series for the first time in 18 years marked 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 production is professional in not letting any key moment slip by. The dvd manages to grasp the feelings of the players, coaches and fans alike, portraying them to the viewer imaginatively. The whole situation comes across vividly and you become involved very quickly. This product is widely available for under £12, which i feel is a great price. You'll be able to watch it over and over again at your leisure, and long into the future, people will remember these thrilling moments.
'an inspirational story'
I was lucky enough to have watched the majority of this epic series live on tv and when i began watching this dvd, i thought; i've seen this all before...why watch it again? But that question was soon answered as the spirit visible just brought back the thoughts and emotions of that summer. It's a remarkable story that at times, is hard to believe due to the enormity of tension built up, that many wouldn't have thought possible in test cricket. It's so uplifting! Seeing the faces of the crowd, the reaction to not only every wicket but at times, every ball. England were locked in battle and everyone became involved. The emotions of that time become very real again with the outstanding performances of Flintoff and Pietersen a real highlight. This dvd is fantastic, a true gem.

This was more than just a series of Cricket matches, it became monumental in dictating morale within the entire country, and the historic outcome brought jubilation and pandemonium everywhere. The achievement of 2005 should not be forgotten and I recommend you to watch this set of DVD's. By buying this product, you, or whoever you give it to, will be able to cherish these moments forever!
