The 2005 Ashes encounter at Edgbaston was a heartbreaker, but it is considered one of the greatest ever matches.

Steve Harmison's delivery to dismiss Michael Kasprowicz changed Ashes history forever.

After three and a half days of compelling drama, England completed a dramatic two-run victory.

Brett Lee and Kasprowicz came so close to producing an unlikely win for Australia but they missed by a whisker.

A distraught Lee slumped to the turf, Andrew Flintoff crouched and placed one hand on his shoulder and said, "Unlucky, Brett, see you next week."

The iconic moment captured the 'Spirit of Cricket' in the most beautiful way possible and depicted the true essence of the gentleman's game.
