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.
2. Glenn McGrath
The King of Swings of Australia is second in this record. Glenn McGrath had 157 wickets in 30 Ashes matches. Including the best figure of 8/32, he took 5-wicket figures in 10 innings and 4-wicket figures in 7 innings. During the 1997 Lord's Test, McGrath presented the 8/31 stats, which are the second-best Ashes innings figures at the ground. And his role in the 2005 series, where he took his 500th Test wicket and was named man of the match in the first Test at Lord's.
