Winning a test match against Australia in those times was literally like snatching a piece of meat from the lion's mouth.

[@abeylaale3700]

Yes even if Aussies are playing away .....😁😁😁 Nothing was away for 2000's Aussie team

[@joyfulzero853]

No it wasn't literally that at all. That was a metaphor not an actual comparison!

[@visb4643]

finally!!!!!!. i was wondering how long it'll take you guys to watch another one in this series

[@CricketforAmericans]

Right??!!

[@karanu6802]

The blond fella is Matthew Hoggard, he was a successful England opening bowler in the early 2000s. Also, Simon Jones who took 5 wickets in the first innings, never played for England again after this. An incredibly talented bowler, a real shame injury wrecked his career

[@asitennakoon8518]

In the first Hidden Ashes video, the announcers were not talking about series wins or match wins in general. They were only talking about the wins in the stadium they were playing (Which basically means England haven't been able to defeat Australia for that duration in THAT stadium, but they do have victories over them in other grounds).

[@sumanawasthi8908]

Just finished watching cricket Tuesday now here on CFA it can't get better den dis 🤩🤩

[@himanshutrivedi9370]

1983 part 2 is pending for a long time guys 😂🤩

[@CricketforAmericans]

I know. It’s no longer available. So we can’t react to it. It was taken down

[@greenidgelewis8347]

Flintoff often batted drunk, you have to check some of his interviews, they are legendary. Matthew Hoggard had a very good Test career, he ended with 248 Test wickets.

[@mojojojo11811]

Ashes 2019 ticket price at Old Trafford for 5 days in category 2 (most expensive) was roughly £568. The day price on day 5 was £21 - £72 depending on where you wanted to sit. Tickets for the Edgbaston test went on sale starting at £120

[@malmakk1509]

Only twice had a team lost after enforceing follow on ( It was Australia both times). Vs England in 1981 and Vs India in 2001. This nearly became the third. And Ponting was quite right about substitutes. Gary Pratt was a specialist fielder out there while the bowlers kept going off for rest. Jones was injured but that didn't mean all the other substitutions were legitimate.

[@karanvij00]

Bucknor gave the right decision. The ball was clearly missing the leg stump as the impact was outside the leg stump. It was probably hitting the 5-6th stump.

[@MrJeegzee]

Gabe. Boxing Day Test, MCG, Ashes series, day one, first ball, the crowd noise will send chills up your spine.

[@KishanPatel-hf6uq]

Been waiting for this thanks CFA

[@natasatp]

Watching test cricket at Lords, that's a dream.

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

Matthew Hoggard is the blond bowler/batsman you're talking about. He played 67 test matches for England between 2000 and 2008 and for a few seasons was one of our key medium-fast bowlers, along with Steve Harmison, Simon Jones and Andrew Flintoff. Hope that helps.

[@nickwhan92]

Tickets to a Test are a lot cheaper than you guys think. We go to the Boxing Day test in Melbourne every year, tickets start at like $30 for an adult and these are not bad seats up in the rafters, we were top level but right at the front. You can get ground level seats for like $75. Day 5 is $1 donation to charity for tickets, if the test goes into day 5.

[@ikigai42]

I enjoyed the banter at the end. Had a good laugh. Wonderful, just wonderful!!

[@rishabhsharma8189]

It's absolutely hilarious when after narrating a complete novel after 20 minutes gabe says "to cut long story short". 🤣🤣When the truth is that the story was never long.

[@dixonnash8219]

I really liked Matthew Hoggard's bowling action back then and used to model my action after his. The action seemed sophisticated as opposed to Harmison's wild arm fling.

[@joyfulzero853]

Maybe but in his prime Harmison was much scarier to face than the 'Hoggmeister.'

[@samsowden]

@@joyfulzero853 hoggy was probably more likely to get you out though. It was a really really good pace attack, so balanced. hoggard harmison flintoff jones. so good. if only Jones could have kept fit, and they'd caught on to Graeme Swann sooner, they'd have been all-conquering.

[@DavidUKesb]

I saw all of this match at Trent Bridge. What a classic test match.

[@JohnSmith77777]

And it set up the final test beautifully because, If Australia wins the final test, the series would be tied and Australia would retain the Ashes. I think you can see now, every session of every test match in this series ebbed & flowed, with the balance of power constantly changing. Look forward to the 5th test as this series will come down to those final 5 days. ..... I enjoy seeing your enthusiasm for cricket grow over the last year or so. A truly great game, of mind, body & soul. Gabe and Nick, genuinely if you wish to catch a test match ( possibly an Ashes test match) in England, where I live is 25miles from Old Trafford (Manchester), 18 miles from Headingly (Leeds) and 35 miles from Trent Bridge (Nottingham). all 3 hold international test matches. Ticket price would be around £40- £100 ($60-$130) for a day's test cricket. all accessible cheaply by train so if you a beer, no problem with having to dal with drink-driving. And having a few beers at a test is highly recommended & adds to the occasion. Reply back if you'd like to sort something out. I m happy to help. All the best.

[@probitech9995]

The last five minutes are hilarious you guys are awesome

[@bics-tc8vr]

My mum really really wasn't a cricket fan at all. She was 60 when this series happened and now at 75 is the most aggressive supporter I've ever seen......... It scares me to see her emotion at a bad decision. ... Loving this series of you guys watching this. I wish you could feel the same thing with the independent trophy where England and America battle out in a five day series..... Is anybody thinking this? The last match starts on 4th July once every six years or something. That would be amazing for the fans..... And Pepsi and bud and Amazon...... Most important it would be a huge occasion both home and away

[@mohankumaras]

Tickets doesn't cost as much as Superbowl. It's slightly expensive in England, costs around 100GBP per day. Slightly cheaper in Australia starts around 50AUD per day.

[@AlexEwan1]

If you have membership of the club that plays at the round the intranational match is being held you get to purchase tickets ahead of the general public. A couple of years ago full adult membership of Surrey Country Cricket Club, my local team, cost £200. Some tickets will be allocated to general public sale so members can't snap up all tickets but they sell out extremely fast, even more so for Ashes matches and you have to buy several months in advance. I haven't checked prices in recent years but for a Test match expect to pay in the order of £100 per ticket. Tickets are for one day and people usually only go to 1 day of a Test match. Day 5 tickets are nearly always much cheaper, often in the order of £20 for adults, and are on the gate so no advance purchases. International cricket grounds in England are relatively small in terms of seats. For example The Oval has a capacity of 21,000 so not a huge number of tickets to go round to start with.

[@hamza3065]

Watching this reminds of cricket07, the most loved game among cricket fans. It had 2005 Ashes scenarios to play. I loved batting as Shane Warne and Lee to save the match. The cover of that game had Freddie Flintoff on the cover. Freddie is a legend, a great allrounder of the game.

[@sarbjeetsingh-rg4st]

India enforced follow on in aus 2018 test series. Australia had played 172 Tests without ever following on at home before that game.

[@joyfulzero853]

I'm glad to see you got the 'double d' joke at 7:50!

[@natasatp]

Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison would be in Gabe's Sinister Six.

[@siddharthasoumitra9018]

This is England crowd. They always appreciate opposition good batting and wicket even it is Ashes. In my childhood I also wonder why do they do that but it seems that it is in their Cricket Culture.

[@michaelh8587]

React to the espn 25 moments that changed cricket. Any of them. they are all good

[@michaelh8587]

Good stuff guys. This is what we want to see

[@jamesleate]

For the Ashes final the cost of a ticket is between £50-£150 ($65-$195).

[@thedisabledwelshman9266]

yes some umpires do THINK before giving a decision.

[@biggzsmith1634]

Brian Lara is what happened to Haggard. Lara pumped him for 6 straight fours and made him cry.

[@jackwicks215]

The tragic thing about that test match is that when Simon Jones got injured he never played for England again. He could have quite easily been one of our best ever bowlers.

[@joyfulzero853]

He was a really fine bowler. His father Jeff, also a quick bowler, played 15 tests for England in the 60s.

[@souravghosh-pv8tw]

Flintoff was my childhood favourite cricketer....

[@danstars1]

Ashes tickets in England are in high demand, looking at over £100 for days 1-4 best chance is getting a day 5 ticket when they go on general sale, that's if there is a day 5.

[@WTBob2005]

Tickets to general admission seats for the Ashes in Australia in 2021/22 - and it looks as though CA isn’t going to hike the prices this year - $30AUD.

[@Deuwl]

That bucknor lbw was out. A yorker is generally always out. I think it was out. Bucknor must've thought it hit but but from just looking at it live I think I remember it was out!

[@36ELRIC]

Glad you got back to this I thought you'd forgotten. Ashes ticket's are not crazy dear I managed to get one for £40 last time

[@gingertoast6216]

Ricky Ponting looks like and reminds me of George W. Bush Jr.

[@anandks4876]

I recall watching it live and had taken a vacation from my office to not miss this series. It wasn't an India match, but Ashes is that important for all the cricket lovers. Nice to see Americans watching cricket and talking about fielding position & players in detail. Now, after Sachin's retirement, Ashes is the only series I watch in cricket.

[@natasatp]

Andrew Flintoff, One of the best if not the best allrounder I have seen playing. Would have been a legend in T20 era. A fierce competitor.

[@joyfulzero853]

Depending on your age you must have seen Jaques Kallis and I was brought up on Gary Sobers and Ian Botham. I still think Sobers is the greatest player of my lifetime and the most watchable even though it was often my team (England) he was doing it to.

[@natasatp]

@@joyfulzero853 I have seen Jacques Kallis play. He is probably the best cricketer I have seen live. Haven't seen Sobers and Botham, can only imagine how great they were

[@bitoffbalance4021]

The greatest test series of the century

[@ajayv9039]

Ashes tickets cost from the range of 50 to 500 USD depending on the venue, Seating class , Food and beverage coupons included etc...

[@jonathanjaffa4875]

I remember watching those last 20 runs from behind the couch convinced we were going to lose. In defence of Steve Bucknor he had a few bad decisions in this series but he had been one of the best umpires in the world for the previous 10 years.

[@educationworld9699]

Lol he is a failure as umpire always give wrong decision against India

[@samsowden]

simon jones never played again. it was a huge tragedy, he was something special.

[@joyfulzero853]

Steve Bucknor was a fine and trusted umpire over a long period. He didn't have the benefit of the most up to date technology we have now. If someone chose to do a video compilation of the worst errors of our careers none of us would look great but it would be grossly unfair to all of us.

[@f3aok]

As a brit the series that got me interested in cricket.

[@switchingchannels]

England are touring West Indies in March 2022. You boys should dig into the CFA account and go on tour to the Caribbean🌴

[@CAshishRaj]

Test cricket in ENGLAND 😍😍😍😍

[@Deuwl]

Btw, I enjoyed your impressions of umpiring lbw. That was so funny guys. Made me laugh. There is this south african umpire that does it so slow its hilarious. I'm glad you guys see the funny side of that. Btw, that kiwi umpire is actually pretty good. Bucknor is bad

[@phanirajsrinivasch8108]

Take a look at Ponting standing at silly point without helmet.. phew!!!

[@NaveenKumar-ee3kf]

And he never backed away. He never took his eyes off of the batsman's trigger movements and looked for a clue anticipating a reflex catch. Say whatever you want for the man but boy, was he tough as nails!

[@jruz1738]

Matthew Hoggard is the blonde Yorkshire bowler, he was always considered a first change bowler but he played well for England and had good figures.

[@ashokkumar-hd7yg]

Waited fr this man

[@MELODYMUNRO]

Looking forward to smashing poms this summer Ashes in Australia. What was it last time in Australia? 4-0 to Australia.

[@99ariyaratnamj]

Guys come to Australia and I’ll take you to a Boxing Day test, 95000 ppl at the MCG against England (or India if you prefer, or both....) it’s an amazing atmosphere

[@sayanAcharjee]

The end conversation was funny af😂😂

[@jamesleate]

Scotland have a terrible football team that never qualifies for international competitions. When they inevitably fail they take up an "Anyone But England" or ABE stance. This means that they actively support whoever faces England. You can't spell Gabe without ABE and that seems pretty accurate.

[@riccol1972]

I live halfway between Trent Bridge (Nottingham) and Edgbaston (Birmingham) - prefer TB - more attractive ground. Tickets for the Ashes, in family non drinking stand were £40, most standard stands would be £50. Good parking at the railway station for £5 all day.

[@Killjoy1204]

In England ashes tickets cost starts at 30 pounds to 50 pounds and higher tickets can cost about 300 pounds plus

[@ajayv9039]

This is quite normal with Australia and England....both these teams keep complaining about whatever they can if things don't go their way....Pitch conditions, substitute fielders, Umpires decision, bowlers action etc etc...

[@99ariyaratnamj]

Simon Katich lbw in the 2nd innings was an absolute shocker from Aleem Dar and changed the whole momentum of the game. Ball pitched miles outside leg stump and was going way over the top of the stumps. Wouldn’t have hit another set of stumps stacked on top. Just as Katich and Warne were putting a partnership together to give them enough of total to defend. In the days before DRS that sort of umpiring decision changed the outcome of the match and series!!!!

[@joyfulzero853]

Maybe it did but who can say? If that had been given not out what followed would have been different but there is no knowing how different. He could have been out next ball or got a century. I played cricket until I was 66 and learned to accept that these things were all part of the game. They did not have DRS technology and in my opinion the two finest umpires around that we used to encounter in the noughties and after were Simon Taufel and Aleem Dar.

[@phanirajsrinivasch8108]

If you want to check the blond guy(Mathew Hoggard) please check road safety series.. Ind legends vs Eng legends

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

Actually Buckner was one of the better umpires. I watched cricket for many years during his time, and I trusted him more than just about any umpire. A collection of bad decisions could be done for any umpire, at least before they had the technology working for reviews with umpires.

[@ivormctin6367]

Matthew Hoggard played 67 test matches taking 248 wickets. 9th on the all-time list for England.

[@chatilmaynath2691]

Hoggard is playing for england legends in the road safety series which is currently going on

[@Codie__]

In Australia you could get a ticket for $100 (most likely less). And that's for a whole days play unlike 3 hours like football.

[@muralichowdary6452]

Watch NZ vs ENG, Nathan Astle's fastest double century. It is one of the greatest double centuries. You guys will love it. If you watch, try to watch the full version. Robelinda has the video.
