10 greatest Ashes-winning captains of all time

#6 Ian Chappell

Chappell led his side to a resounding 4-1 victory

Ian Chappell has often been regarded as one of the finest Australian captains ever and in his first full Ashes series as captain, he pushed England hard to end with a 2-2 scoreline away from home in 1972.

However, the 1974-75 Ashes in Australia shocked everyone as Chappell led his side to a resounding 4-1 victory. The fiery pace of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson was unleashed on the England batsmen as they wilted under the pressure.

Chappell himself was the 3rd highest scorer for Australia with 387 runs as he helped his country regain the Ashes.
