Sky Sports commentator Ricky Ponting was full of praise for Jimmy Anderson after he bagged his best Ashes figures of 6-47.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting relives his memories of the famous Ashes Test at Edgbaston in 2005.

The Sky Sports commentator could only watch on 10 years ago as his side fell to an agonizing two runs short as Michael Kasprowicz gloved a Steve Harmison delivery down the legside and was caught by a diving Geraint Jones.

Ponting also discusses the importance of winning the toss after Australia opted to bat before being skittled for 236.

James Anderson's bowling masterclass to pick up 6-47 is also discussed and the Aussie legend talks about the challenges he had to overcome when facing the England seamer.
