10 greatest Ashes-winning captains of all time

#8 Len Hutton

England arrived in Australia in 1954 with an enviable bowling attack

Sir Len Hutton was not only one of England’s greatest ever batsmen but he had also been responsible for being the architect of one of their finest Ashes series wins. England arrived in Australia in 1954 with an enviable bowling attack spearheaded by Frank Tyson and Brian Statham, however, they lost the first Test by an innings and 154 runs in Brisbane.

From the next Test onwards, they turned it around and won the series 3-1 in a canter. Tyson took 28 wickets and Statham took 18 as Australian batsmen found themselves out of their depth against one of the greatest fast bowling duos of all time.
