Another great moment worthy of watching with the Cricket Theme Tune:
It was the final Ashes Test Match at the Oval – and Australia already staring down the barrel of a gun had made a valiant attempt at a fighting comeback. They were relying on their captain Ricky Ponting to play the innings of his life.
It wasn’t to be though.
Michael Hussey played a shot directly to Freddie Flintoff off the bowling of Steve Harmison.
It was a magical moment to watch as Flintoff made a direct hit to the stumps and ended Pontings dream of retaining the Ashes for Australia.

Hi, my name is Guy, I'm in my forties and live in South London with my wife and sons.
I've been a big fan of Test Match Cricket since I was a boy. I had no choice really, as back in those days we only had one TV with just three channels and my Grandad would watch the cricket all day long.
Since then I've had a fondness for the BBC Test Match Theme Tune and decided to build a small site dedicated to it. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers,
Guy

One of the 21st Century’s greatest sporting events is captured for all time. It reads like a Boy’s Own comic :- wounded hero gallantly rescues his comrades from defeat etc. Andrew Flintoff went out in a blaze of glory as befitting his iconic status, and England brought back the Ashes again.
Utterly fantastic. Like Best and Ali, we won’t see his likes again.
