My virgin effort on mixing my favorite series and Coldplay - Ashes 2005.
Oh here is my favorite song, my favorite team - Aussies PLUS one of the fantastic series ever to be played - Ashes 2005. And here is the run up for the series from my favorite site - Wiki. I liked Coldplay's Fix You - from X&Y, which would be the background music.
History behind the game - Ashes is a cricket match which is more of a pride at stake which the Aussies and the poms put on the game when they play. England v Australia is the oldest continuous international cricket fixture, dating back to the first meeting at Melbourne in March 1877. Fantastic ain't it?
A few pictures from the infamous series ever played, which critics hailed as one of the all time best. England regained the Ashes by beating Aussies 2-1 with a match draw.
(a) The Ashes - As big as palm !
(b) England celebrate the series - Fantastic to see the coverage live. What a match !
(c) Flintoff's hundred moment.
(d) When England had 4 runs to regain the Ashes.
(e) Clouds impregnated with lots of rain at TrentBridge.
And finally, the video I mixed. I am still in awe whenever I see it.

i have just lost it for the sports after all the match fixing and the world cup match that proved their worthlessness
@Nithya:
Oh come on. You could do better. It is just a moronic way our players end up playing. Don't lose your interest for the same.
Come back sometime later. I will interest you in an another game sequence :)
I always thought of Cricket as a game of pure luck. One day u cud be winners, the next day u could be losers.
As fans of cricket we cant lose all hope if our team loses...cos there'll always be a next time..and also they have been winners b4 as well.

Cold play's 'fix you' has been one of my favourites too ever since I heard it :-)
I used to follow Cricket religiuosly.But after match fixing etc I have turned into a big skeptic and am so totally disillusioned and disappointed with the game.have stopped watching altogether
I knew you were an ardent fan of cricket. And this proves it!
You need to start getting into the habit of checking out my blog often. After all, I am your elder sister for a reason! :D

@Keshi:
Oh yea you are spot on. A game of uncertainty clubbed with passion makes it one of a kind :-)
@PS:
Fair enough. I know the feeling and suddenly the game is not the same no more with these glitches. Hey ! that is why this game is special. Is'nt it :)
@Vidya:
Oh yea! Now you are talking.
