Watching the 2013 Ashes test on replay as I work. Great, especially as I have forgotten the result. Ashton Agar is batting like a beauty on debut. Stunning for a 19 year old. youtube.com/watch?v=nZR-rg…

For a 19 year old on fricking debut facing Anderson reverse swinging it.

Agar joined Phil Hughes with Australia at 117-9 (Hughes on 21). They are now 187-9 and Agar is on 47* and has just overtaken Hughes. Will he be the first debutant at number 11 to make 50? #rewind #Ashes #drama #suspense #TheAshes #cricket

For context, England made 215 in their first innings. #rewind #Ashes #drama #suspense #TheAshes #cricket

Agar gets there! Incredible run a ball 50 on debut at number 11.

Michael Holding not being able able to believe that Agar was sent at number 11 is everything. #rewind #TheAshes #cricket

And Hughes gets to his 50 as well. Partnership almost at 100 and just 8 runs behind England. #TheAshes #cricket

Scores are now level. #TheAshes #rewind #cricket

And Australia take the lead. And the 100 run partnership. #rewind #cricket #TheAshes

And he finally goes for 98. What an innings, Ashton Agar. Australia end on 280 with a lead of 65. Anderson taking 5/85 with a phenomenal spell of swing bowling. #TheAshes #rewind #cricket

As per tradition, the day has moved over for me as well and we're on Day 3 of the test. England at 172-4 with a lead of 107. Good, gritty 50s by @KP24 and Cook, but the game very well in the balance. #cricket #TheAshes #rewind

Temperature in the 30s. Good day for England to build on. #cricket #TheAshes #rewind

And Bairstow goes as well. Second wicket for Agar, coupled with that magical 98 on debut. This lad is going to be a star. #cricket #TheAshes #rewind

Ian Bell fighting on well on 56. England at 230-6 at the tea break with a lead of 165. #cricket #TheAshes #rewind

Drama here at Trent Bridge as Broad edges to slip very clearly, but not given. The Australians look distraught, but they have used the reviews really badly in this test. #cricket #TheAshes #rewind

Early day 4 and both Ian Bell and @StuartBroad8 have got to their 100 and 50 respectively. The Australians clearly despairing from the lost opportunities on day 3 as England close in on a 300 run lead. #TheAshes #rewind #cricket

England end up setting up a target of 311 for Australia in the first Ashes Test of 2013. Australia have started off well at 59-0, moving along briskly. Watson and Rogers at ease after that tremendous partnership between Broad and Bell. #TheAshes #cricket #rewind

Day 4 ends with Australia needing 137 runs to win with 4 wickets in hand. In for a treat on the final day as Agar and Haddin hold fort. #TheAshes #cricket #rewind

This game going down to the wire. Australia need 49 runs to win, but England only need 1 wicket. Brad Haddin takes 15 runs off a Finn over. What a phenomenal game. #TheAshes #cricket #rewind

28 to win for Australia. Goosebumps. #TheAshes #cricket #rewind

Lunch taken on the 5th day with 20 runs to get. Haddin and Hazelwood looking solid. So much tension out there. #TheAshes #cricket #rewind

England win by 14 runs after overturning a review on DRS. Brad Haddin played a fantastic but England go one up after @jimmy9 takes 10 in the game. #rewind #TheAshes #cricket
