Incredible series that ended this morning at the Oval. A packed house. 6 weeks, 5 Tests, 25 days, and it came down to the final 55 minutes. A drawn Series in the end but one of the best. Explain that to a non-cricket fan if you can.
Due to a caffeine fuelled working session the Series Set for this 5 Test Match Series is now available.
Even I'm surprised I got it out this fast. ;-)

Update: August 3, 2025
The Ashes - 1975 - Lillee and Thomo! Series Set has been updated with Basic Ratings, the Optional Bouncer Intimidation Rule. I have also updated the ratings using more recent calculations as the previous set was based on the 4th Edition (and erroneously included the Sp. rating rather than Cond.). Anyone who has previously purchased this Series Set will have received an email with the link to update their set. Others can purchase it by going here.
