5 of the most lethal partnerships in Ashes history

#1 Glenn McGrath-Shane Warne

Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne

For around 13 years, one of world's greatest fast bowlers and arguably the greatest spinner combined to torment successive generations of English batsmen. They led Australia to six Ashes wins and picked up a combined 352 wickets.

McGrath's swing, seam, accuracy, and bounce coupled with Warne's leg spin tricks left most English batsmen out of their depths.

In the only series which England won during that period (in 2005), Glenn McGrath was injured and could only play in the first Test. Australia won the solitary test match in which he played, and that is perhaps an indication of the impact that the pair had on this series.
