by Satellite
The fight for the Ashes starts today in Brisbane, and Peter West introduces this recording of highlights of the first day's play sent from Australia by satellite.
Victories against Australia are never gained easily. Len Hutton's side in 1954-5 were the last to win a series outright in Australia when England's fast bowlers played a decisive role.
