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.
7. Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist was known for his fearless batting attitude. In Tests, he provided his services to the Australian cricket team for nine years as a lower-order batter. Like the white-ball format, he played fearlessly in the longest format of the sport to achieve success.
In the Ashes 2006-07, he notched up a 57-ball hundred in the third Test in Perth and became the fastest centurion in the oldest cricketing tournament. His best Test innings against England came in 2001. At the iconic Edgbaston Cricket Ground, he smashed 152 off 143 and powered his side to claim an innings and 118-run triumph.
Playing his first Ashes game, he looked confident and delivered a sublime knock to his team. For his stupendous performance, he also received the Player of the Match award. The intrepid Aussie batter played 20 matches against the English side in his vast Test career and scored 1083 runs in 28 innings.
