Harry Brook.<p>Harry Brook wants to emulate England's heroes of 2005 and is ready to make an impact in his first Ashes series against Australia.</p>
<p>Anticipation is reaching fever pitch ahead of Friday's first Test at Edgbaston, with some suggesting the series is primed to be the biggest and best since Michael Vaughan's men reclaimed the urn in unforgettable fashion 18 years ago.</p>
<p>Yorkshire batter Brook has had a remarkable start to his international career, hitting four centuries in his first seven Tests and winning the T20 World Cup, but is eager to embrace his biggest challenge yet.</p>
<p>"It's definitely a dream come true to be involved in my first Ashes," Brook told the media on Wednesday.</p>
<p>"I was growing up watching the very best players from England and Australia facing each other.</p>
<p>"Obviously the 2005 Ashes was a big one. I can always remember the over (Andrew) Flintoff bowled to (Ricky) Ponting and KP (Kevin Pietersen) smacking it everywhere against (Shane) Warne and (Glenn) McGrath, those boys.</p>
<p>"They were my earliest memories. I'm going to go out there and play the way I have done in the last 12 months. I hope that's enough to inspire a few too."</p>
