Harmison Draws Blood — Ponting's Cheek at Edgbaston 2005
England vs Australia
4 August 2005
Steve Harmison's bouncer struck Ricky Ponting on the cheekguard of his helmet at Edgbaston in 2005, drawing blood that ran visibly down Ponting's face. The image of the Australian captain batting on with blood dripping from his cheek became one of the 2005 Ashes' most iconic moments — symbolising England's refusal to be intimidated.
