    Product description

    The Ashes is the hardest fought trophy in cricket, and probably one of the greatest rivalries in sport - England v Australia. During its history there have never been more ferocious Ashes contestants than Ian Botham, arguably the world's greatest ever all-rounder, and Allan Border, former Australian captain and hard man. Now these two great rivals meet again as they go head to head in Ashes Clashes. Ashes Clashes is a fast-paced, action-packed programme which features the very best of the last 35 years of Ashes test series both in England and in Australia.

    Whilst Ian Botham and Allan Border remain two of the most famous adversaries in the game of cricket, who will ever forget such names as Dennis Lillee, Jeff Thomson, Shane Warne, David Gower, Mike Gatting, Michael Atherton, Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff? This DVD has them all, culminating in Michael Vaughan's finest hour, when in 2005 The Ashes returned to England.

    Losing an Ashes Series can be the low point of an international cricketer's career. Winning one, however, instantly makes you a household name and in this absolutely fantastic souvenir DVD, you'll be taken on a 35-year journey, highlighting some of the greatest innings, wickets and catches from two of the world's strongest sporting rivals. From the man himself, Ian Botham's swashbuckling efforts in the late 1970s and 1980s to the modern heroes of 2005, this is a collection that you will play over and over again.

    As an added bonus, there is special disc showing some of England's best achievements down under from the 1980s and 1990s, including the last time England secured an Ashes victory on Australian soil in 1987.
