This doesn't just relate to the Ashes, but I think it has more to do with how blokes perform in a given situation. eg: the well documented Marcus North averaging bugger all when we're in trouble and making runs when it isn't important or it is a dead rubber.

I haven't done any fact-based research but that's why Steve Waugh was so great - not the most talented player ever but made runs when they really counted (I suspect), hence one of the greats.
