10 greatest Ashes-winning captains of all time

#9 Michael Clarke

Clarke had engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds for Australia in the Ashes

England reached Australian shores in 2013 on the back of three Ashes series win, with the last one being in England in the same year. Michael Clarke had been the captain when England retained the Ashes comfortably with a 3-0 victory but what he unleashed in the form of Mitchell Johnson (37 wickets in 5 Tests) in the 2013-14 series Down Under will never be forgotten.

Johnson tore through the England batting line up with a display of such ferocious fast bowling in the first Test at Brisbane that England never recovered as they crashed to a 5-0 whitewash. Clarke had engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds for Australia in the Ashes and England surrendered quite meekly.
