Which Player is Your Personal Most Cherished Cricket Player in the History of the Men’s Ashes?

It was bound to be either one of two legends: the player with the highest run tally in Ashes history or the bowler with the most wickets. Ultimately, Shane Warne’s 195 wickets beat Don Bradman’s 5,028 runs. But, Warne is far beyond statistics. His flair, humour, and charisma made him the kind of player you rooted for even when he lined up against your team. He was an absolute delight to watch.

In the Spirit of Joy, Who is Your Top Pick?

So, which player is your cherished cricketer in the history of the men’s Ashes? Who provided the most unforgettable moments and widest grins? Ian Botham for his sixes and wickets? Ricky Ponting for his centuries? Flintoff for his sledging and sportsmanship? This week, a group of judges have chosen their greatest 100. Who is your own top choice?
