The man in the middle reminisces on that epic Test match, 20 years on

How Michael Kasprowicz saved Test cricket, plus the rise of Owen and Dwarshuis

Andrew Ramsey, The Australian newspaper’s cricket correspondent for the 2005 Ashes, keeps both gloves on his bat to re-live one of the greatest Ashes Tests ever with host, Louis Cameron, on the 20th anniversary of the Edgbaston epic.

It was a Test made famous by Glenn McGrath’s rolled ankle, Ricky Ponting’s fateful ‘we’ll have a bowl’, reverse swing, Andrew Flintoff brilliance, Shane Warne stepping on his stumps, Michael Kasprowicz’s last-ditch departure and an iconic photograph of sportsmanship.

But we have delved even deeper, into John Buchanan’s fondness for a Worcestershire cake stall, an Ashley Giles sideshow, the Ponting-Warne dynamic, security concerns that gripped the Australian camp, and so much more.

England took the series lead despite more Shane Warne brilliance

Ashes '05 Deep Dive: English Pratts and Aussie cracks

Adam Burnett and Josh Schonafinger join host Louis Cameron in the slips cordon and desperately hope they won't drop Kevin Pietersen.

 

The fifth and final Test of the 2005 Ashes series is the subject of the last episode of cricket.com.au's special podcast series commemorating 20 years since the epic 2005 Ashes.

 

We all remember Shane Warne putting down KP - but do you recall the other crucial missed chance not long before? This, and plenty more, is discussed in the series finale.

39.30 The 'other' dropped catch that cost the Aussies

55.00 Warne's dropped catch sours the greatest individual series by a losing player (sorry Jasprit Bumrah)

1.00.00 In which warm congratulations are offered to Paul Collingwood for earning an MBE, and other things that peaked

1.04.00 Not-ugly Aussies are immediately gracious (as are England)

1.14.00 Getting sledged by Merlin, the spinning bowling machine, and whether the Queen imported one to Windsor Castle

1.16.00 KP v Lee = Test cricket at its best ... plus an unusual insight into Pietersen's reaction to Trump's 2016 Presidential election victory

1.24.50 The legacy of an all-time series
