All-time Ashes combined XI

11 Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath takes a wicket against England.

During Australia's most dominant spell in the Ashes between 1989 and 2003, they won every series they played against England and Glenn McGrath was the wrecker in chief since the mid-1990s until the end of his career in 2007.

McGrath's accuracy, bounce and seam movement tormented generations of English batsmen during the 1990s and noughties, as Australia simply blew the opposition away time after time.

He played in 30 Tests against England and picked up 157 wickets at an average of only 20.92. McGrath's dominance of the English batsmen remains unsurpassed among fast bowlers and this team will remain incomplete if he is not included.
