Australia win by 239 runs What was the mood in the dressing room leading into that first Test? Simon Jones:Full of excitement. We’d beaten everyone else in the world and Australia were No.1 and had a team of absolute legends, so they were the ones to beat. We were young, we were fearless, a lot of us were hitting our peak – it was a great time to c...
England win by 2 runs There was high drama on the first morning as McGrath twisted his ankle in the warm-up and then Ricky Ponting sprung a surprise by putting England in. What did you make of it all in the changing room? SJ:I was blown away when Ricky decided to bowl first. I know there had been some weather around but we had a look at the wicket ...

The post-match celebrations have gone down in Ashes folklore. Were you all as badly behaved as we’re led to believe? KP:Obviously we had a bit to drink, but we weren’t as boisterous or as silly as the journalists liked to write up!
