The pictures above show Geraint Jones during the 5th Test against Australia at The Oval in September 2005.
England held on for a draw in yet another thrilling Test of that memorable summer, meaning that they
won the Ashes for the first time since way back in 1986/87. Jones came in for heavy criticism for his
wicket-keeping during the series but he did enjoy some notable moments, not least taking the vital catch
which won the 2nd Test for England by just 2 runs.
