We have reacted to the first two matches from this series and now it is finally time for the third test match from this 2005 ashes series.
Original video found: • Ashes 2005 - HIDDEN AS...
15 years since, and this series gets you going everytime.
Latest update Williamson scores 251 in 414 balls Nz 514/7 Dec. Gabe got his lesson 😜
What did Gabe say badly about Williamson?
Campbell is 22 not out Gabe
@@damodeste 😁
The umpire was asking the players not to walk in the middle of the pitch 14:00
Coz spike would make holes and that will help bowlers as the ball will spin or bounce randomly plz ignore my Grammer 😅
I'm still sad you didn't react to the actual documentary of this series which was clear of copyright strike😔These videos don't do justice to the epicness of this series.
Brent Fraser "Billy" Bowden is a cricket umpire from New Zealand. He was a player until he began to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. That's the bent finger..... I'm an a Australian... Thanks for you reaction videos..
"Billy Bowden" Gabe is most respected and entertaining Umpire of all time, he used to raise finger like that because he had some health problem.
Entertaining, yes, not most respected. That probably is Dickie Bird whom is legend of an umpire and character.
Oh to hear Richie and Tony again. Bliss
SIr Geoffrey Boycott at 6:15 - 'Oh no ball, bad luck you Aussies' LOL
put that LOL inside the quote!
You can't beat Test Cricket ! ..... can't wait for the crowds to get back in to the grounds.
Yeah, I value Test cricket so much more because it is a true contest between bat and bowl, unless of course a pitch is like a road. T20 cricket is fun, quick fix for batting hits but I just do not value it highly. ODI's are good when both teams play their best 11 but this often does not happen except in World Cups. More often that not in last decade a typical ODI series has a team rest 2 or 3 of their best players as schedule is so full with three formats now that you cannot afford to play your best 11. This year has been a bit different with Co-vid as it has resulted in less international matches that more of the ODI's have had teams pick their best 11 against each other. As we saw in dead rubber third ODI this week, that is normal transmission when teams rest a few like Cummins, Bumrah etc etc.
Test matches there won't be this relaxation of pressure that can happen.
Losing , winning or drawing a Test match you remember the feeling forever as a fan.
You could feel the tension of the English fans so clearly in this video in crowd as the end of 5 days was coming down to the wire for them in such an important Test series.
Billy is one of the best and coolest umpires. The moves he makes on the field are a result of a physical condition called rheumatoid arthritis.
*This is why the flavour of Test will remain immortal nothing gives a better treat than watching 2 tough nations fighting in a test. Nick I sent u a link of Umpiring horror if you watch the video you will see something most horrendous and unbelievable stuff and why some critical decisions can shift the momentum of whole series. In those days Aus and Eng were very good team specially Australia. Andrew Strauss was a top notch classical test player and Ian Bell too. You already know Aus was packed with legends then. Kevin Pieterson was the dude in that era ...most fancy guy in Cricket* I played EA Sports 2007 Cricket game a lot and most of the commentary chunk of that game is from Ashes such a treat to listen to Mark Nicholas and Ritchie benaud🙏🏻👍🏻
It was 58 years since England won at Lords. But it was 20 years since they won the ashes. England dominated the Aussies in the 80s until 1989 when the Aussies started their streak.
Tickets are always cheapest on the last day but it’s like a lottery if the game goes down to the wire
I recommend you to watch India vs Aus odi series 2013.It was the best ind vs aus odi series for me.
That and the IPL before it was the initial comeback of Mitchell Johnson
I forgot how quickly Freddie Flintoff bowled. That was sharp. Great reaction work guys. You guys have an excellent feel for the game.
Now, you guys are gripped by highlights of a draw from 15 years ago. Imagine the feeling watching it live, and sometimes a test is close enough that going into the last day, session, overs, balls - all 4 results, Team A wins, Team B wins, a draw and a Tie are all possible !
Unforgettable series, great test match! England played so well and got so close, but don't forget Ponting's masterclass of 156 in the last innings.
Also, Bowden's crooked finger was because he suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. Excellent umpire!
Kane Williamson. Today. i.e. now!
251 runs kane top class
OMG Finally!! Feels like it's been decades since the last one!!
Man I enjoyed your reactions and lived it again..love it
Absolutely loved this reaction. Test cricket is the game of kings
Your wrong Gabe, Billy is not a bad umpire he was one of the best and funniest umpires ever. I still miss having him around.
As an Indian I have to speak the truth - Some past India-Pakistan games have been good. But to say that they play the best cricket in Test when they face each other is just bullshit. Ashes is the Gold Standard for pure test match cricket. I have always loved it and will love it in the future. Australia supporter here 🔥
Oho! Man still no one has talked about Kane Williamnson.....He has made double century against West Indies....
Friends of mine from the US used to say incredulously "How can you possibly have a game that lasts for 5 days and ends in a draw?" This is how! My heart still pumps when I watch it.
Billy was a very good umpire.
I am just about to watch and I am so happy you have continued to watch one of the greatest test series over the last 50 years ( yes definitely since the 1970's). The greatest team for 15 years still at its peak (Australia) but old father time about to catch up. England, humiliated for 18 years never beating Australia ( a career lifetime for a sportsperson) had been on the developing and on the upwards curve ever since beating the West Indies at home, then Pakistan in Pakistan and Sri Lanka also in Sri Lanka in 2000 (beating Pakistan and Sri lanka away are so hard and not often done).
England were no longer a soft team and a legitimate coming power in the world of cricket. Micheal Vaughan ( who had be Englands outstanding player in the Ashes 2002 loss to the Aussies) became captain in 2003. He was innovate and exciting. The stage was set for one of the best test series of cricket ever. Every ball mattered and altered the balance of play through each of those 5 days of the 5 series. And till the last either team could have won.
So glad you are watching the series.
Test is the purest form
Billy Bowden was the kind of guy who loves to bring fun into the game. We all love him... I guess others would agree.
I hope you guys also do the documentary!
Cannot insist more..the documentary is on another level.
Great reviewing like always
A few corrections. There have been 71 Ashes series. Australia have won 33 England have won 32 and 6 draws. Australia dominated the 90's and early 2000's and the 50 odd years Gabe is referring to was Australia winning a Test at Lords not dominating for 50 years.
Gabe doubling down on his hatred for Seve Bucknor. Amazing!
@@unicornsq Exactly, that is why Gabe just totally trashing without any context is hard to hear repeated over and over.ha ha
I actually liked Steve Bucknor and felt sorry he went on too long umpiring and his reputation been tarnished as a result.
It’s hard to describe the hype the 2005 Ashes generated. It was exactly the shot in arm Test Cricket needed at the time, and the entire 2 countries were completely gripped by the series. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Tests were 3 of the best Tests ever played, and they just happened to be in the same series.
I remember watching pretty much every minute of the first 4 matches in this series. It was the school holidays and nothing else mattered at that time. Unfortunately the last match was during term time so I couldn't watch all of it. These days nearly all international cricket involving England is on pay to view TV, i.e SKY, rather than free to air Channel 4 or BBC so I watch far less of it than I did back in the day. The 2005 Ashes was hands down the most exciting Test series I have ever watched and I can't imagine that ever changing.
Umpires - Bowden is from NZ, and the crooked finger is from severe arthritis. Bucknor is from WI and wasn’t the best late in his career, however, they were both on the elite panel of international umpires of which there were only 12 umpires. So for the best part of a decade, both Bucknor and Bowden were in the best 12 umpires in the world. Bucknor gets a bad rap primarily by Indian fans, and primarily for 1 game. The truth is, in that game there were a few mistakes made, by both umpires, and against both teams. Doesn’t stop the ridiculous hyperbole though....
The Ashes has never been held by either nation for anywhere near 50/55 years. Leading up to the 2005 Ashes series Australia had held the Ashes for 18 years(I think) which is pretty much the longest. So you factor that into a great series with four of the five matches absolute nailbiters (which are rare themselves in test cricket) and that the series was still alive even on the 5th day of the 5th test and you have without doubt the greatest test series in cricket history. I was at the whole 4th test at Trent Bridge and also at The Oval for the last day of the 5th test. That final day will live with me forever. It was truly amazing.
Hey,Australia only had to win 1 of last 2 tests to retain ashes as they already held them..Remember,this Australian team was one of the greatest sporting teams in history!!I was at OLD Trafford on 5th day with 4 of my friends..We queued up outside from ground from 8:30am and got inside by 9:30am(10 000 locked out by 10am).Ricky Ponting's 156 to save the test is the best knock I've ever seen live,he says so himself!...An incredible days cricket..For the last 24 balls the whole ground continued to stand..Always remember this day and this incredible summer of 2005 😊
I remember taking half days from work for the final day of this test match, felt so sick watching the end of this game, it was tense! This was one of the most evenly matched Ashes, and the celebrations when England finally overcame the Old Enemy were unprecedented. Crashed back down to earth when we went to Australia whitewash they beat us 5-0. Billy Bowden has arthritis that is how his hands go. Plus he is a bit of a showman so likes to entertain!
Thankuu gabe and nick
Wow, you took a ling time to watch the 3rd Test. I even forgot you reacted to the 1st & 2nd too.
This match is a perfect example of the value to Draw in Test Cricket. This Draw was as good as a win for AUS (coz they were about to lose) but as bad as a loss for ENG (coz they were about to win) & you can see that from the reaction of the fans & even the players.
What I'm trying to say is I like Nick and Gabe. Nick is so into sports and Gabe is so passionate and crazy. And I love that someone hates Bucknor as much as I do, in the same way I love that you guys love cricket like we do. I do not want to kill Trump, well at least not right now. I love when Gabe says "that's six runs!" at the end.
"Raphael wins one nothing."
"New game, cricket."
"Nobody knows cricket, you got to know what a crumpet is to play cricket."
"I'll teach you. That's six runs!"
Sorry for my poor english if any. We saw right now is what u know???? True players, true fans and true game of cricket i love tests🔥🔥🔥
Good reaction video from you guys!!!
What a game. What a series. Australia was way too resellient in this era. They never gave it up till it was really over.
14:09 the umpire was trying to stop the fielders from running on the danger area of the pitch and scuff it up. They were sneakily trying to get away with doing it during the wicket celebrations
The empire’s general favour the home team . The wicket keeper you mentioned was Adam Gilchrist
Who was a outstanding batsman he scored runs very quickly. Check out his highlights. Fastest test century
Of all time equal to V .Richards and was a major part of Australia’s dominance .
this still hurts .. but a memorable test match
Love u cricket love u absolutely
You both kept talking about how it was 50 or 60 years since England won the series, I think you are confusing a stat that was in the highlights of the Lord's match where it said England had not beaten Australia at Lord's for 50, 60 or even 70 years (I forget how long it was exactly). Leading up to the 2005 ashes England had not won an ashes series since 1986/87 so almost 20 years not 50 or 60.
there is nothing in world sport like the pressure of a fifth day chase in test cricket
Gabe , all the bad things u said about one of the fab 4 , THE MASTERCLASS kane Williamson made 200+ vs west indies in test , once again I told u poor bowling and Kane Williamson is just class love to see him bat, what a player he is☺️
Gabe was right about John Campbell though. OMG, 0 for 53 and he plays a stupid shot to start the rot and West Indies all out and Kiwis should probably enforce the follow on. Campbell should never be allowed near a Test match again!!!
@@shaundgb7367 lolll the crazy thing is he is the leading run scorer for windies 😂😂😂 , this is his last chance anyways let's see if he can do it again😂
Gabe .England.. Nick Australia .. thats gold hahaha
The grounds in England often do that when the final day has not been sold out, sometimes Kids go free and Old Age Pensioners get in for a nominal payment, bums on seats people, they will recoup the loss in sales of drinks and food, makes good business sense.
Adam Gilchrist was one of beat wicketkeepers in the history of the game. He was just having a bad day.
That's why it's called Test cricket !
Over 5 days, it tests your character to the hilt.
A good draw can be an absolute edge of your seat affair.
Australia v India Sunday game is limited crowd. But the Tuesday game is no crowd restrictions.
You guys should check out AUS vs WI '95. Another classic series
Crowd pressure affects umpires a lot in cricket particularly in England Cs it’s so loud. Thank god we have DRS these days
Usually on the last day, if there's a chance of an early finish, they will offer tickets for £10 to ensure a full stadium. They could have sold the tickets at £100 for this match and it would have been full.
It was £10 because it was the 5th day, on a working day. Normal tickets were around £40 which is still good
It was after this series that Australia got specialist fielding coaches in Cs they knew their catching had declined so much for a team known to be exceptional in fielding normally
Billy Bowden was an ok umpire, honestly. he was quite quirky, but never the less he was a good umpire, and that is all that is needed out there in the centre. Bucknor was a very good umpire. His mistakes were highlited because he was umpiring at a period where there was a groundswell of support for more technology in umpiring decisions, so these umpires were kind of in the position of being riden like whipped horses. but, bowden was good and bucknor was very good. as for a draw after five days of cricket, you yourselves were biting your fingernails with tension, imagine if you were there as it unfolded live.... Some of the very best games end in a draw. and it is just that because one team scrapped and held on to secure the draw that imbued the game with such tension. Please, do not put down test matches that end in a draw, they are part of what makes this game beautiful.
So well said about both umpires and that drawn Test matched can sometimes be full of tension if context of Test series is like it was here.
Fair dinkum guys. Where are you getting your information from. Billy Bowden was one of the best umpires and I'm Australian and there's no love lost between Australia and New Zealand.
Maaate, US sports are expensive af to attend. I learned that when I went to an A’s game.
Cricket tickets in Oz are like $20-$40, same with AFL tickets.
The Ashes has not been as one sided as you think .... from Wiki - 'There have been 71 Ashes series: Australia have won 33, England 32 and six series have been drawn'
You have alot of American saying "5 days and it can end in a Draw? How boring.". I think you can see how exciting and nerve racking a draw can be. When you get 2 teams closely matched and it can go down to the last ball, you couldn't write this stuff, people wouldn't believe you.
Love your channel guys, just one thing I have to say, Steve Bucknor is one of the best umpires in cricket history not the worst. I understand you've watched his mistakes in a video, but please note most of those mistakes were made before the hawk eye tech came along. Nowadays very few big mistakes are made by the umpires and that in my opinion is mostly due to the tech assist. You guys already know how little time the batsmen, wicket keeper and the slip fielders get after a delivery. Same is true for the umpires. Bottom line, I grew up loving bucknor and shepard, please don't call any of them the worst lol. well end of the day its your reaction and I love every bit of it. Forget what I said above, don't change a thing. All the best.
That camera angle really didn't do Simon Jones' reverse swinging delivery any justice
Tickets are usually not sold for the 5th day as matches don't always go to a 5th day. If play reaches day 5 tickets usually get sold on a first come first served basis, usually on the cheap. 'A tenner a piece' means that tickets were being sold for £10 each. which is practically giving them away. Back then tickets were usually £60 each for adults. These days its more like £100 a ticket.
Now whilst 5th day tickets are sold on the cheap the food and drink in the stadium is still rather overpriced. By the time you buy lunch and a few beers you've spent maybe £40-50 plus whatever your travel costs are. For a match like that its still a bargain.
I'm English but you guys need to look up Don Bradman , the Australian is the best ever cricketer and averaged 99.94 at the end of his career.
2001 Kolkata test India vs australia mind boggling stuff ...U r reaction
England went 18 years from 1887 - 2005 without ashes win , had been pretty even until that Aussie also dominated after bodyline tour winning 1934 - 1947 ie Bradman years
There was never a 55 year losing streak, unless I understood you wrong? It’s pretty even over history - Australia 33 England 32. But yeah, this series still gives me goose bumps
Cubs fan here :)
I remember one add during ipl where he got a back story
When Adam Gilchrist drop 2 catches and Andrew Symonds misfield, its a horrible day for Australia.
Umpire Bowden is from NZ not England
Not one sided at all.Aus 33 Eng 32 series wins.
Nick, the Ashes may have just two teams but one needs to realize sometimes theres history beyond just mere sport. Australia being the land where the Pommies posted anyone from a bread stealer during the great depression to a vicious murderer. Its like Guantanamo for the brits. The grudge developed in the populace at the harsh treatment by the monarchy and deportation at the slightest pretext in those colonial times of world wars and great depressions has transcended sport. It the same as in the US no one calls out their English ancestry , but you would find the Irish Americans proud of their heritage. The Amercian and the white commonwealth way of life is a protest to the monarchy and the British patriarchs. Lots and lots of history, blood and sweat, sir.
I have watched you guys discover cricket and it's beautiful, like a baby being born. But 2005 ashes? No one cares. I have two words... Kane Williamson. And four numbers... 2020. Or is that one number? Anyway NZ v Windies you need to follow!!♥️
Gabe for your enjoyment react to Colin Croft (One of the Four horsemen) hitting the Umpire "Disgraceful umpires Fred Goodell vs Colin Croft" or Michael Holding kicks stumps both was part of the same tour WI in New Zealand 1980 horrible umpiring especially against West Indies.
As I've mentioned before, these Hidden Ashes episodes aren't a great way of watching the 2005 series. Yes, they've got some interesting ground level shots and probably work okish for a UA-cam reaction channel, but in no way give a comprehensive enough representation of what went on in each match. For instance, Ponting's fourth innings knock was probably in the top three match saving innings of all time and the footage merely glossed over his achievement. As you guys seem sold on all things cricket, it's imperative you get yourselves the boxed set highlights of the series, if it's only for your own pleasure and appreciation of what an incredible test series this truly was..
These days the Lanka Premier league is going on, it's been live streamed on the Sri Lanka cricket channel.
Who said Billy Bowden was a worst umpire 😳😳😳😳😳 @gabe he was absolute amazing umpire one of d best umpire of his generation ya Bruckner Was a bad one I mean especially against India N dat To Sachin Tendulkar
5 Days of Cricket....9Hours everyday ...And it comes down to the last ball...Make sure you tell that to the Americans.
The 4th test match was probs the best of the series. Australia were miles behind but kept fighting
just listening to the end. Australia held the ashes at the time. So if the series was tied, then Austrailia would retain the ashes. So the draw in 3rd test meant it 1-1 in the series and Australia in the driving seat. Magrath back, England unable to see out the chance to take a decisive lead in the series. Highest level bowling & batting from both sides.
After 3 games it is advantage Australia. 5 days of every single ball being meaningful. £10 is about $15. There is a history of making day 5 cheap, because sometimes test matches doesn't make the 5th day. Get up early and get a ticket.
This is probably when you guys got Cricket.
Have you done Stokes and Leach yet ?
You guys need to check out 2009 ashes and 2010 ashes too
That Ed Sheeran guy is Mathew Hoggard.
Worst umpires of the 90s/2000s- Aleem Dar, Rudi Koertzen, Russel Tiffin, Billy Bowden, David Orchard. Steve Bucknor was good before he lost his sight and hearing in his last few years.
Lol !The biggest meme will be tomorrow if Campbell scores 150 or a double hundred 🤣
I really wish that could happen 😂😂
@@reeneljoseph He is well set ....and the pitch has eased up ....he looked promising and played Wagner quite well....

Imagine if your united states kept playing test cricket
Today he must be playing another ashes wid india maybe..
Imagine the crowd
This was fun
It's not tournament , it's a series
Nothing can touch ashes 2005,
India vs aus 2001 comes close second
Gabe I have the same finger like you. Can’t go straight.
