Even though they lost this Australian team was the greatest cricket team of all time. They had three legitimate captains in Ponting, Gilchrist and Warne. In batting they had formidable players like Hayden and Clarke and legendary bowlers like McGrath and Brett Lee. Even their second string had players like Lager, Haddin, and Hodge. This was a fantasy players dream team. Now to think about the extra ordinary performance the English team had to pull out to beat the Aussies is what makes this the greatest Ashes series ever.
