It's the most keenly fought battle in cricket and for the first time in almost 20 years England had a realistic chance of victory!
After the first Test at Lords - and an emphatic Australian win - the seeds of doubt spread for what seemed another summer of misery for English cricket. However England were to turn the aggressive style of cricket, for which Australia had been so famed over the last decade, to their advantage and turn the series around in some of the most dramatic Test matches ever played.
At Edgbaston England survived a last ditch Australian fight back to complete a thrilling two run victory to bring the series level. Then it was up to Old Trafford for more high drama as Brett Lee and Ricky Ponting historically batted out the day to deny England another victory. Then on to Trent Bridge where England - after yet again out-scoring the Australian's in the first innings, and here making them follow on for the first time in 16 years - held there nerve in the form of Matthew Hoggard and Ashley Giles to knock off the remaining runs of a meagre 129 run winning total.
So after memorable individual performances, high drama and controversy it had come down to one game. One match to decide the Ashes. If England win or draw they are coming home, if the Australians - still a world class team and surely due some big performances - win, then they would retain the Ashes and the series would be drawn. With cricket fever gripping the country, a nation waited...
The rest - as they say - is history. Enjoy this action-packed triple disc DVD set with extended highlights from all the test matches with unseen material, behind the scenes chat and footage of the amazing celebrations.
The Ashes have been brought home, and in what style!
