Most Catches in Ashes: All-time top 4

#1 Ian Botham(England) - 54

England v Australia 4th Cornhil Test Match Edgbaston 1981

The man with the most number of catches in the history of Ashes is none other than the legendary English all-rounder Ian Botham. Even the sternest of Australian supporters will agree to the fact that Ian Botham was a genius and his ability to turn the game on its head gave the Aussies a lot of trouble back in the day.

Ian Botham just enjoyed playing on the big stage and what bigger stage for an Englishman than an Ashes test match against England's fierce rivals, Australia.

Cricket enthusiasts do remember Ian Botham's heroics with the bat as well as the ball but what many seem to forget is the impact he made in the field.

Ian Botham played a total of 32 Ashes test matches in which he took 54 catches which makes him the player with the most number of catches in the history of this iconic competition.
