England's Best Ever Ashes Players

4. Bob Willis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1q-SJeslFg Bob Willis was an aggressive fast bowler, standing at 6ft 6" and generating a great deal of pace and bounce. He played 90 tests for England and averaged 25.20 with the ball. Willis made his debut for England in an Ashes test in Sydney in 1971 and from then on became known as a courageous and determined fast bowler. His most impressive figures in an Ashes series came in the 1981 test at Headingley when he took 8-43 during an aggressive and adrenaline fuelled bowling spell. Although that was seen as 'Botham's Test', Willis certainly played his part as he did on numerous other occasions.
