5 Steve Waugh
He might not have been the most graceful batsman in history but Steve Waugh made up for through steely determination, gutsy approach to batting and a relentless desire to win games for Australia. Waugh was Australia's middle order lynchpin for close to two decades and one of the teams he always enjoyed scoring against was England.
He scored 3200 runs in Ashes Tests against England and scored 10 centuries along with 13 half-centuries, to become one of the most prolific batsmen in this particular fixture.
Waugh's average of 60.16 against England is a testament to his domination of the opposition and his innings had often been the bedrock of many memorable Ashes victories.
