David Warner looks back at Michael Hussey's winning knock in Adelaide Test of Ashes 2006

In the video that David Warner posted on Instagram, the former Australian vice-captain revealed that his favourite Ashes moment is the Adelaide Test from the 2006 Ashes. The match, which was played at the Adelaide Oval, had England come in from 0-1 down in the series as captain Andrew Flintoff won the toss and chose to bat. England smashed Australia all around the park and got themselves a very dominating total of 551. However, Australia came back in remarkable fashion and smashed the English bowlers around the park and put on 513 on the board.

England were still in the lead by the Australians managed to get the Englishmen out for just 129. The Australia Test side then had to chase 168 in just the 35 overs remaining in the fifth day. With the year being 2006, such T20-esque targets were pretty unheard of. However, the Australians dug deep and 'Mr. Cricket' Michael Hussey led the Australian chase with his 61*. After running the winning run, Hussey punched the air as the Australians had produced a victory from a match which should have either been a draw or a loss for the home side. Warner also nominated the captain of that match, Ricky Ponting, to participate in the challenge.
