Here's Harmy

At the start of the 2005 Ashes series, there was thrilling anticipation and there was hope

The astonished MCC members

There was a lot of excitement before Australia visited England in 2005. England hadn't won the Ashes since 1986-87, but I for one thought that this time they had a very good chance of reclaiming the famous urn

Great balls of fire

On a balmy Lord's morning in 2005, England drew first blood - literally - in what would turn into a storied series

Immediate Test success

No 4 in our series of Kevin Pietersen's top ten innings
