Synopsis:
4 days of pressure cooker tension. 40 sweat-soaked wickets. 1,176 adrenalin-charged runs. England beating Australia by the narrowest margin of victory in Ashes history.
It has been described as one of the most exciting tests of all time! The weekend of 6 & 7 August 2005 saw England snatch the second 2005 Ashes Test from Australia by just 2 runs. Following a battering in the previous match, England knew the implications of defeat, however, they held their nerve - as did the nation held its breath!
It was nailbiting cricket all the way: Sunday morning`s rearguard action by Australia`s fast bowling pair Lee and Kasprowicz; Andrew `Freddie` Flintoff`s heroics with bat and ball (plus a dislocated shoulder); Shane Warne`s mesmerising leg-break spin bowling (inlcuding what will forever be known as the `Strauss` delivery); the list is endless!
