All-time Ashes combined XI

3 Sir Donald Bradman

Bradman Batting

It is fair to say when this eleven was being created, only ten names had to be considered since there is no contest as far as the number 3 position is concerned.

Sir Don Bradman is the greatest batsman to have ever played the game and England had to resort to Bodyline tactics back in 1932 in order to stop him from destroying them in yet another series. He played in 37 Tests from 1928 to 1948 and scored 5028 runs at a jaw-dropping averaged of 89.78.

Bradman scored 19 centuries in the Ashes, including two triple hundreds (one of them was scored in a day) and remains the highest run scorer in the history of this series.
