Top 5 leading wicket-takers in history of The Ashes
Another Ashes series is knocking on the door. Before that, a few stats are necessary to watch out for. In a previous article, we discussed the top 5 all-time leading run scorers in the history of The Ashes.
5. Dennis Lillee
Whenever we talk about some of the best fast bowlers in the history of cricket, the discussion remains incomplete without mentioning Dennis Lillee. The great Australian fast bowler is in fifth spot on the list, as he got 128 wickets in 24 Ashes matches. In this list of 'Top 5,' it is worth mentioning that he played fewer Ashes games than the other four bowlers in the chart. In those 24 matches, the right-arm fast bowler bagged 4-wicket figures 8 times and 5-wicket figures 7 times.
