    Product description

    For all England cricket supporters the Ashes series of 2006/07 is just a dim and distant event compared to the success of the 2005 and 2009 series which saw England under the leadership of Michael Vaughan and Andrew Strauss respectively regain the Ashes both times at The Oval.

    This fantastic offer allows all cricket followers to get their hands on the highlights from both of these magnificent series (well if you are an England supporter that is) with over 20 hours of exhilarating cricket action from both series this will keep any cricket fan entertained  until the 2010/11 Ashes series begins in Australia!

    The Ashes Series 2009 - The Official Story - This series ebbed and flowed in both directions literally from the first morning at Cardiff back on 8th July and finished on the 4th day of the 5th Test at a sunny Brit Oval as Alastair Cook caught Mike Hussey to secure the Test victory for England and the series by 2-1.  

    The inauguaral Cardiff Test saw a superb batting performance from Australia who totally dominated the England bowling attack only for two of the most unlikely batting heroes to appear in the form of Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar who's last wicket stand frustrated and annoyed the Australian's and which saw England gain an undeserved draw.  What a difference a few days makes as this time at Lord's, England dominated Australia in nearly all the sessions with a wonderful first wicket partnership of 195 between Andrew Strauss and Alistar Cook and purposeful batting again from England's lower order. With Strauss not enforcing the follow on Australia looked at one point as though they might make the world record 4th innings score to win - but on Monday morning Freddie Flintoff produced a devasting spell of hostile fast bowling to low away the Aussies and secure England's first victory at Lord's against the Baggy Greens for 75 years.

    We then moved to Edgbaston, scene of the greatest Test in 2005 which England won by 2 runs - on this ocassion the real winner was the weather although at one point it looked as though England might secure a dramatic victory however Michael Clarke and Marcus North saw the Australian's over the line for a draw with some ease.  Headingly was all about the Australian's as England now without Flintoff and Pietersen were outplayed over the 2 and half days it took Ponting's men to secure an innings and 80 run victory with devasting bowling in both innings from Siddle, Clarke and Johnson.  With all to play we moved to the Brit Oval could England secure the victory they need to regain the Ashes - Strauss won the first battle by winning the toss and deciding to bat - 332 runs later England were all out and at 73 for 0 Australia looked in a postion to dominate - enter England's new hero Stuart Broad in a devasting spell in tandem with Graham Swann the Aussies were reduced to 160 all out.  The 2nd innings started badly with England at 39 for 3 and Mitchell Johonson on the prowl, however England's latest debuatant in the form of Jonathan Trott helped Stauss to steady the ship going into the third day.  With the pitch not improving Trott moved to his maiden Test century and with some lusty blows from Flintoff, Broad and Swann saw England declare on 379 for 9 leaving the Aussies the small total of 546 to win and two clear days to play.  The 4th day saw dropped catches, tremendous run outs and England's own bravehearts securing victory on winning the series 2-1 make sure you order this DVD which will have the definititive action from all 5 Test matches.
