**** me that's a decent list - we've done well to win as many Ashes series as we have - wouldn't presume to try and rank them but will do a Goughy and suggest a few others who deserve an honourable mention, Geoff Lawson, Neil Hawke, Stuart Clark and Brett Lee
And given the Ashes havoc he wrought (twice), I'd give Alderman a shout as well.Forgot Lee tbh. Not exactly sure where to slot him in. Merv a decent call too.
How did I forget about him? Gooch often struggled to lay a bat on himAnd given the Ashes havoc he wrought (twice), I'd give Alderman a shout as well.
Just a bit of pre Ashes frippery considering Rhino's retirement. I'm only considering post war bowlers but others can do as they please:
McGrath
Lillee
Lindwall
Davidson
Gillespie
Miller
Johnston
Thomson
Harris
McDermott
Johnson
Reid
McKenzie
Well done.What about Reid?
I'm impressed you even remembered that, those two Tests were some of the most facile I've ever seen.Assuming only Ashes bowling is being considered, there is no way Lee should be mentioned. He would have played around 15-20 matches against England, and the only 2 I can remember him having any sort of impact with the ball in were at the MCG & SCG in the 06/07 series. Apart from that, he was ordinary against England, and I'd be surprised if his record against the Poms wasn't one of/the worst of his career.
