England won the ashes after the greatest ashes ever? Not certain.
Did you cheat ? if not, then well done.
Yes, Monday 12th September 2005 was the day that Rudi Koertzen and Billy Bowden came up to the Oval wicket after a rain delay and took the bails off to signify an England win in the Ashes, in what has been called the series of the century - and what a series it was.
Me, i was busy watching the events unravel whilst working in not-so sunny Leeds, wishing that i was there.
No, it's just one of those days that I will remember for the rest of my life, after a glorious summer of fantastic cricket. Be honest with you I knew it was September 2005 and it was a Monday, what I didn't know was the actual date. I've always had a love of cricket, in fact played for over 25 years two days a week. Still love it, but unfortunately the body will not allow the pleasure of leather on willow.
Well done Kerry. A series that i will also remember for the rest of my life - along with the incredible last day at the Oval with Pietersen's astonishing 150, and Rudi and Billy exagerrated finale. A day that reduced to me to tears of joy - reminiscent of a certain day at Wembley in May 1998!!
