If Tim Bresnan takes the wicket that helps England retain or win the Ashes this summer, he best make sure there’s someone at home to Sky Plus it.

The Yorkshire star was a part of history during the last Test series between the two old foes, taking the match-clinching wicket at the MCG in December of 2010 to help England retain the urn before they went on to win the series for the first time Down Under since 1986/87.

But unfortunately, the recent new father can’t relive the memories because there was no one home at the time.

Bresnan had Ben Hilfenhaus caught behind during the fourth day to help England take a 2-1 lead in his first match of the series.

England turned that lead into a 3-1 series win in Sydney a week later, and the now 28-year-old finished with an excellent 11 wickets from two matches, including a best of 4-50 in that second innings at Melbourne.

“I can’t really remember too much about it to be honest,” said the White Rose all-rounder, who will hope to get the nod ahead of Steven Finn for next week’s first Test at Trent Bridge.

“It’s probably one of those moments you look back on at the end of your career and you remember fondly. But, because I’m not there yet, it’s difficult.

“I’ve not really had a chance to sit down and think about it even though it’s only two years ago.

“It’s one of them where you wish you had the DVD and you could stick it in and watch every now and again. Unfortunately I don’t. There was no one home at the time to record it for me.

“I’m sure Sky will have it somewhere in their archives, and come the end of the my career I’ll ask for it.

“But the thing is, I’ve got plenty of history to create before the end of my career.”

It remains to be seen whether Bresnan will start this summer’s series given that his last Test was against India at Nagpur in December, the Test in which Yorkshire team-mate Joe Root made his debut.

But he is confident of getting a chance at some point. And when he does, the chances are he will he will be a handful for the Aussie batsmen.

“I feel like I’m bowling well. I’m there and there abouts. It’s going to be a very long summer with a lot of cricket to play. I’m sure I’ll get an opportunity at some point,” he added.

“It’s going to be a great series, and the kind you dream of playing in from being a young lad.

“It’s one of those where the world is always watching.”
