Battle of the Ashes Moments

Thommo's yorker.

Great as Deano's spell was (and a terrible shame the back injuries did for him in the end) it was in (effectively) a dead rubber. We could've drawn the series still, but a drawn rubber wouldn't have regained the urn.

(31)Benaud's Match
4th Test: England v Australia at Manchester, Jul 27-Aug 1, 1961 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Benaud, bowling round the wicket and pitching into the rough of Trueman's footholds, brought such a collapse that in twenty minutes to tea England virtually lost the game. After getting Dexter caught at the wicket, Benaud bowled May round his legs, had Close, following one drive for 6, caught at backward square leg and bowled the solid Subba Row.

(8)Warne dropping Pietersen
5th Test: England v Australia at The Oval, Sep 8-12, 2005 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Lee to Pietersen, no run, Dropped! Full and outside the off, driven hard at, the edge goes straight to Warne who drops this! That is a lucky break for Pietersen

Warney dropping the Ashes. Poor Warney, though, was a total champion that series. Amazing.

Warne drops KP. Not only did I exist at the time, but a moment is more memorable than a match.

Warne dropping KP. Shows the arbitrary injustice of sport sometimes; had been magnificent all series.

Have loved reading about Benaud's match so many times, have to vote for it. Rarely done for the legspinner to head around the wicket in those days, and he rock and rolled them big time.
