Shane Warne...
Shane Warne...

Perhaps the greatest spin bowler who has ever existed walks into the combined eleven without much of a challenge from anyone.

Right from the time that he bowled that 'ball of the century' back in the 1993 Ashes, Shane Warne gained an edge over the psyche of English batsmen that lasted a total of 14 years and remains the most successful bowler in Ashes history with a total of 195 wickets in 36 Test matches.

Warne averaged 23.25 in games against England and had a strike rate of 55.1 across the 36 Test matches. He dominated generations of English batsmen and no batsman could ever quite dominate him.
