Find out which bowlers have taken the most five-wicket hauls in Ashes cricket.
Sydney Barnes - 12 five-wicket hauls
There are seam bowlers envious of Sydney Barnes' ability to move the ball, and there are spinners envious of Sydney Barnes's ability to make it turn. Combining the two made Barnes one of cricket's all-time great Test bowlers.
He still holds the record for the most wickets in a series (49) and is the only man with 12 five-wicket hauls in Ashes cricket to his name.
Tom Richardson - 11 five-wicket hauls
They say the brightest stars burn fastest and that much could be said of Tom Richardson. In a Test career that lasted less than five years -- making his 11 five-fers all the more impressive -- Richardson took 88 wickets in 14 Ashes matches. He also took five consecutive five-wicket hauls across two Ashes series, with six, six, five, seven and six wickets between 1895 and 1896.
Terry Alderman - 11 five-wicket hauls
Despite the interruptions to his career that saw him play just 17 Ashes matches, Terry Alderman ranks joint-second for Ashes five-fers, taking four in his first Test series in 1981. Particularly impressive is that with him only bowling nine innings against England at home, 10 of his five-wicket hauls in Ashes cricket came in England.
Charlie Turner - 11 five-wicket hauls
A supremely efficient bowler, Charlie Turner took 101 Ashes wickets at an average of just 16.53, with a stingy economy of 1.93.
Remarkably, Turner would take five-fers in eight of his first 10 Ashes innings.
Clarrie Grimmett - 11 five-wicket hauls
With five and six wickets in his first Ashes Test, Clarrie Grimmett quickly introduced himself to English batters in 1925. His next outing, at Headingly, saw him pick up five more. Relishing English conditions, only two of his remaining eight five-fers came Down Under.
Shane Warne - 11 five-wicket hauls
Interestingly, while the other five players with 11 or more five-wicket hauls took four wickets in an innings a combined nine times, Warne managed to take four a whopping 15 times.
