For many, the enduring image of the 2005 Ashes is of Andrew Flintoff consoling Brett Lee after the Edgbaston Test but it is wrong, writes Steve James in the Sunday Telegraph.
Wrong, because Flintoff was consoling the wrong man. It wasn't Lee who had just been dismissed so that Australia could no longer reach their target. It wasn't Lee who, if you were being hypercritical, could be said to have cost Australia the Ashes. No, that was Michael Kasprowicz. He was the one who needed an arm around his shoulder.
