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.
2. David Warner
David Warner broke into Test cricket in December 2011 in the first Test of New Zealand’s tour of Australia in Brisbane. After 12 years, he has made himself one of the illustrious names in international cricket with his impeccable batting style. In 2013, the dashing Aussie opener played his first Ashes series in England but couldn’t do much with his bat.
However, after a few months, England toured Australia for the 2013-14 edition, and this time, Warner came heavily on the visitors. Notching up 523 runs in 10 innings of five matches, he became the highest run-getter and powered his team to whitewash England after seven years.
In the next edition of the Ashes in 2015, Australia failed to retain the urn, but Warner again showcased his efficiency with 418 runs in nine innings. So far, Warner has taken part in five editions of the Ashes from 2013 to 2021 and has added 1888 runs to his profile in 51 innings of 28 matches.
