Channel 7 commentary is trash. It's corporate commentary basically, no banter between mates, always a random token woman on the panel. It is what it is.
Yeah corporatism and PC has destroyed authenticity and the culture of not just the game of cricket, but the spirit of individuality. But they sold the ticket and we (collectively) took the bait. Who’s really to blame.
It takes something special to be a world-class leg-spinner in a nation that's known for producing world-class pacers, having decks with extra bounce and little to offer for spin bowlers.
The extra pace and bounce actually helps leg spin bowlers especially Warne who used to love using top spin. It is however notoriously hard to bowl offspin in Australia which is why the goat should be held in very high regard.

Great clip. Warne, the master, working over the talented rookie. Glimpses of Cook's ability before Warne gets him. Who would have predicted the mountain of runs the young batsman would produce over the next decade.
Shane warne was an institution in himself, no other bowler will ever be able to match his charm,his charisma.His extraordinary skills mesmerised a whole generation of cricket lovers.Love from India.What goes unnoticed is his ability and performances with the bat....especially in ashes 2005 England
Nothing better. I can’t get enthusiastic about 20 20… I’m even nostalgic for 50 overs games. Nothing like a battle between bat and ball where holding on to your wicket is more important than the run rate.
The thing I liked about Shane Warne was, before he bowled, he took his time and was constantly thinking what ball to bowl as he had so many different variations of speed and different amounts of spin and once he has it in his mind he bowls it on the spot 99% of the time and thats very rare for a leg spinner to do. I barely watched test cricket that much before and I rarely used to like watching Australia bowl, but for some reason when Warne was bowling it kept me glued to the TV because you always thought its possible for him to get someone out with each ball. A very rare talent indeed.
Yep you made a good point here mate bowlers like McGrath are appreciated for their line and length as a pacer but it's even more difficult to have a much needed accuracy as a wrist spinner... Truly a runaway match winner for OZ...
Even as an Englishman I absolutely love watching Warne bowl. Just the casual walk up and round arm action. Could watch it all day. Murali was obviously class as well but much preferred watching Shane.
@@hawkers94 nope! A throw would imply he bent the elbow and straightened it, which he is unable to do, also the bend in his elbow is under the 15 degree allowance in IC.
Lovely surface. Goes from having plenty of zip for seamers to a virtual batting paradise, gradually becoming a challenge for batsmen as it wears and also takes some wicked spin later in the game. A result pitch as they all should be....one that challenges every member of both teams at some point over 5 days in changing conditions. A young Cook batting well waiting for the rare bad ball that will always happen with leggies, but Warne is constantly turning the screws and testing every aspect of Cook's game. Ashes cricket is the holy grail. Bring on 2021/22
It's been a while since we had a bowler in world cricket who commanded the utmost attention from both batters and spectators alike. He looked like he could take a wicket with every ball. The plans he hatched, the ability he had to be able to read the game, and the skill he had with the ball were just excellent. Very few batters were able to dominate him, and those who could didn't get to do it for long, he eventually out-thought them. Say what you like about him as a person, we each have our views, some less complimentary than others, but no one can argue he's right up there with the very best when it came to ability. Arguably in the top three greatest players of all time in terms of the impact he had on the game.
He was a spinner who had a agrression of a fast bowler. Absolute legend. I used to bowl with his action but didn't got to turn the ball as much he does 😅😅
The way he just bowls both ways. One coming in and then one going away, those wrong uns and those flippers and sliders. isn't it wonderful to watch the magician. Difficult to play
Cheers! I get this footage by trading and swapping stuff, it took about 2 years of searching to get these files and some even rarer but if you try hard enough and long enough you’ll eventually get it from someone or another
Whenever I think of the 2005 Ashes series in Australia I think of the Chicane song "Offshore". The Channel 9 coverage in Australia used it during transitions while showing slow-mo action.
this was the prime of aus cricket. The legendary team and legendary commentary. So many superstars in one team. Also anyone miss NOT having DRS? Wickets were so much more climactic even if there were some errors
People are underrating Cook here, he has faced 146 deliveries from Warne in test cricket, scored 71 runs and he got out only once. 146 deliveries isn't that much but he played well. Cook: vs Warne: 71 runs, 146 balls, 1 dismissal, average: 71 vs Kumble: 86 runs, 195 balls, 2 dismissals, average: 43 vs Muralitharan: 152 runs, 450 balls, 2 dismissals, average: 76 vs Lyon: 201 runs, 541 balls, 8 dismissals, average: 25.125 vs Ashwin: 330 runs, 819 balls, 9 dismissals, average: 36.667 Cook has struggled the most vs Lyon based on average, even if you break up the stats year wise Lyon has always been good vs Cook. Cook has faced Ashwin in 4 test series, he was very good vs Ashwin earlier in his career but towards the end Ashwin gained the upper hand.
@@brotinbhattacharjee7934 No he struggled a lot against both ashwin and lyon after 2012, and that has nothing to do with age, he was still young, those two bowlers just picked his weak spot and used to dismiss him.
Warne's bowling and Sachin's Batting are the two most enthralling and captivating gifts I received from cricket untill now. Warne was a magician like the pied piper of Hamlin, We all glued to watch his wizadry with the ball. He mastered the most difficult art of cricket and became the best ever to bowl legspin.
"He has learned playing against shoaib asif kaneria" those were days the sub continent was known by these names.. now India goes there and destroys their team from within. Siraj Bumrah and shami.. good luck facing them.
@@amansingh0674 Akhtar is overrated bro. Only because of random pace and wayward action it troubled batsmen when they were new to crease. He never caused regular problems the way shami creates. If you have seen wi vs ind test matches, the series where Tendulkar retired... then you have seen that shami reverses the ball way more than akhtar... and the pace is also the same late in the day
@@amansingh0674 Akhtar has only pace nothing else. He can only trouble the batsmen with his bouncers only But Shami can trouble the batsmen with Seam, Bounce, reverse swing, Line and Length etc. Doesn't matter at how much pace you bowl.
relax,siraj has just debuted, shami and bumrah are good but they don't 'destroys their team from within'. the bowling attack overall has done well and englands batting was relatively weak
Nice battle. Teasing with some slightly short of a length deliveries first, happy to give some runs away to set him up. Didnt work and maybe his patience ran out before finally coming around the wicket. 2:35 perfect but no edge. Pointless wondering why he didnt start around the wicket to him, coz we know he would have weighed it up. What a weapon to have with 650 on the board....who cares if Cook hits you for a few boundaries.
wonderful explanation. The art of great spin bowling is to lay a trap for the batsman. Make them think they have you covered and then sneak one through. Warne was a master of that. It was not just about skill which he did have in plenty. Playing against him meant playing chess. Thinking three / four moves ahead.
MCC once got within 45 of chasing down 696 to win in Durban 1939. They had five wickets in hand and supposedly no time limit, but rain stopped play for a couple of days and the touring side had a train to catch in order to get the boat home. True story.
Commentary is so important. I never rated Mark Nicholas, seemed a bit contrived to me, Taylor is a gem, of course Ian Chappel. It comes down to quality over quantity. Today there is a dearth and gap, channel 7 hasnt really filled the gap so to speak. I only really rate Ponting in the new breed, Gilchrist holds his own, I dont mind a woman commentator Alison Mitchell has the right mix, Lisa Stellakor is painful, seems to get a free pass, but i dont rate her at all. Nothing really compares to Benaud, Lawry and Tony Greig though. If i put my life on one today though, current, its gotta be Ponting.
At 2:35 WOW...makes all of us wonder if WE could have picked it. Cook concentrating so hard and doing well, but Warne would use his top spinner and wrongun very rarely as a strike weapon. So hard to read out of his hand unless you have seen it many times before. No edge this time, but that was a wicket taking ball. Magnificent. Easy to forget this guy could also bat, AND one of the best pair of hands in the slips we ever saw and a superb attacking cricket brain....AND a showman. He made crowds turn up everywhere around the world.
You could expect wicket on every ball he bowled and always dominated except on few occasions ,the rest of the time he was a night terror for even the best of that time
Great to watch, some good play all round. Would’ve been interesting to see if Cook had played it better, if Warne was still playing later in his career.
Never missed this series as Australia whitewashed England 5-0 taking revenge of their drubbing at hands of English side in 2005/06 ashes in England. What a wonderful series was this with a full fletched Australian side.
No. Then it would be pitching outside off and impact outside off for left handers And Pitching outside leg for right handers. Because of too much spin 😂
@@nurjahanbegam999 There were hundreds and hundreds of times left-handers would pad him away not playing a shot. I've probably watched 1/3 of all Warnes deliveries in tests and I reckon DRS if used wisely would have substantially added to his cause. They then would have been forced to play him which would have given him further wickets. I have seen one umpire alone rob him of at least 20-30 wickets.
If Australia had played the same England team that won in 2005, and that England team were fit and firing, I think the final score would have been 3-2 to Australia. Australia would have still won the series because they were angry and had a real point to prove, but it wouldn’t have been 5-0. Saying that, if the actual England team that played in that series had won in Adelaide, I’m not sure what the final score would have been. Australia would have probably won 3-1 with one test match drawn. England losing that Adelaide test meant the 5-0 score was pretty much inevitable in my opinion.
It wouldn’t have been 4-1. We were a much better team than that. I think it would have been a drawn series or 3-2 to England. We played very well and just that bit better than Australia. I say that because Gilchrist had a very bad series and didn’t make many runs, Gillespie bowled poorly and Hayden and Langer didn’t turn up until the last test match at the Oval.
@@ravikumarsrivastava9838 that’s what makes sport. The conversation with your friends. “ if only so and so had scored a few more runs or taken that last wicket we would have won “. All part of the fun. Everyone does it who is a cricket fan or a fan of most sports actually. Yeah, you can quote stats and stuff like that but that’s boring.

First time isaw steve buckner don't give out on an appeal 😂
Warne is no more
If Australia had played the same England team that won in 2005, and that England team were fit and firing, I think the final score would have been 3-2 to Australia. Australia would have still won the series because they were angry and had a real point to prove, but it wouldn’t have been 5-0. Saying that, if the actual England team that played in that series had won in Adelaide, I’m not sure what the final score would have been. Australia would have probably won 3-1 with one test match drawn. England losing that Adelaide test meant the 5-0 score was pretty much inevitable in my opinion.
If McGrath had played all matches in ashes 2005 then Australian would had won the series 3-2.
If McGrath played all 5 in 2005 then scoreline would have been 4-1
It wouldn’t have been 4-1. We were a much better team than that. I think it would have been a drawn series or 3-2 to England. We played very well and just that bit better than Australia. I say that because Gilchrist had a very bad series and didn’t make many runs, Gillespie bowled poorly and Hayden and Langer didn’t turn up until the last test match at the Oval.

@@ravikumarsrivastava9838 that’s what makes sport. The conversation with your friends. “ if only so and so had scored a few more runs or taken that last wicket we would have won “. All part of the fun. Everyone does it who is a cricket fan or a fan of most sports actually. Yeah, you can quote stats and stuff like that but that’s boring.
Rough patchs makes it spinners game from day 3 onwards...
The game is missing the big stars like Warne, Akram, ABD…
Pure Class
