Just won an awesome test match in the 2013 (might be 2014, not sure) home ashes series. Going into Headingley it was 1-1 in the series, so i could do with a win, and with Harmison back the team definetly looked stronger than in the previous lost test. Australia batted first making just over 380 with a major contribution from Phil Jaques and Frank Speed (new opener, averages 29 ). I then managed to get a lead of 20odd before being bowled all out. Australia were then skittled out for 236 leaving a chase of about 210. Anyway, with 197 on the board, Harmison gets out, leaving Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar at the crease. 9 to win, Watson to Panesar, edged behind, DROPPED by 3rd slip Michael Clarke. Then 2 overs after that, Jimmy Anderson duly abliged and knocked off the remaining 5 runs to win the test match by 1 wicket .
