5 best bowling spells in Ashes history
In the last 30 years, these bowlers produced phenomenal spells in the prestigious Test rivalry between Australia and England.
1. Stuart Broad’s 8/15 at Trent Bridge in the 2015 Ashes
Stuart Broad is still active in international cricket and in the upcoming Ashes 2023 series, his role will be essential for England against the Australian team. With his experience and skills, he adds immense strength to England’s pace attack along with the veteran James Anderson. In the 2015 Ashes, Broad took his best bowling innings in Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
Playing the fourth Test, England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and invited Australia to bat first. Spearheading England’s bowling attack from the front, Broad attacked Australia’s batting unit and claimed 8/15 bowling figures. Riding on his scintillating bowling performances, the hosts embarrassed the visitors by folding them on a paltry 60.
The veteran’s remarkable bowling performance hit the confidence of the Aussies as later they failed to contain England batters from taking a big lead. At the end of the game, the English team won the match by an innings and 78 runs and Broad’s fabulous bowling efforts got him the Player of the Match award.
