Found this on youtube.

Thought it was awesome, however was a shame that it's missing McGrath and Gilchrist. Still one of the better ads I've seen.

Yeah it's a ripper ad, it's on the tv now as well.

Missing Pidgeon i reckon.

One question though, who are the two bowler it changes to between Lillee and Mitch.

Wonder if there's an alternate one with McGrath and co.?

Lindwall

Awesome idea and a great ad.

Hopefully, as has been mentioned, there are different ones with more Ashes guns like Gilly and McGrath!

Why would Botham be in the field if Pietersen, and thus England, is batting?

He had batting gloves on. And I think it was him in the shot tapping his bat on the pitch.Look's like he was batting to me

Excellent ad. I want The Ashes to start today...not some poxy Who Cares Cup ODI series

Love this commercial.. Now if only the summer could come quicker

Lindwall

Really unique run-up style.

The ad is disgusting for it's lack of McGrath especially, and Gilly partly - but I suspect they didn't want it to be an honour roll of players from the last 10-15 years.

Apart from that, it's an absolutely sensational ad - sent a shiver down my spine the first few times I saw it.

Almost perfect, and CA and whoever made the ad should be commended.

That sequence of Lillee, Lindwall and Johnson is beautifully cut.

It's a wonderful piece of marketing.

Just saw it on TV. Glad its been brought up.
Great ad. Great to see Bradman in colour.
Would be even better if they had commentary from Ritchie and other old timers like John Arlott / Frank Tyson.
Am I alone in thinking Slats sucks?

We discussed it on TLS and said a similar thing, cool to see Richie on field, but for the majority of us, we never saw him bowl, but we've heard him every summer of our lives.

Anyone remember these from 2006/07?

It could have been worse. They could have had Healy commentating.

haha, yeah mate. I should have mentioned him too.

 

[Caesar]

I'd rather have Lillee and Lindwall than McGrath. Johnson is trash but they had to have a few of the current side in the ad.

 

[OzBomber]

Another ad/promo for the Ashes. Very very good imo.
