Ashes: Best Australian XI of all-time
In the last few decades, the Aussie side has got the better of England in the oldest Test rivalry.
10. Shane Warne
The late Shane Warne broke into international cricket in January 1992 and became a giant figure in the international circuit in one and a half years. In 1993, Australia toured England for the Ashes, and the 23-year-old Warne was also a part of the squad. Grabbing the opportunity with both hands, the leggie delivered standout performances to his team.
Grabbing 34 wickets in 12 innings, he helped Australia to clinch the series by 4-1. These outstanding bowling figures also made him the joint winner of the Player of the Tournament award with England’s Graham Gooch. In his maiden Ashes appearance in Manchester, he looked ferocious with the ball and took eight wickets to help his team pulverise the hosts by 179 runs.
After the debut Ashes competition in 1993, Warne showcased his magic in the 1994-95 Ashes again. In the opening Test at Gabba, he picked up his 8/71 bowling figures to vanquish the visitors by 184 runs.
