During the incredible 2005 Ashes series, Australia played a tour match against Essex at Chelmsford.  

This was their last chance to find form ahead of the series decider at The Oval, which they needed to win to retain the little urn.  

Only Shane Warne was firing on all cylinders bowling-wise, so it was a chance to find some rhythm for the attack that would need to bowl England out twice to secure victory in the final Test of the summer.  

The Australian attack including Jason Gillespie, Shaun Tait and Michael Kasprowicz, however, had not planned on running into a very fresh faced youngster by the name of Alastair Nathan Cook.  

Cook faced 238 deliveries in the two-day game, scoring an outstanding 214 to condemn the bowlers to more torment, and show the world what would be coming to international cricket just 6 months later in Nagpur.  

A legacy was born.
