Former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss has recalled getting brutally sledged by the late great Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne during the 2005 Ashes.
Although England memorably went on to win the series 2-1 and regain the urn, Warne was at the absolute peak of his powers on that tour as he picked up 40 wickets at an average of 19.92. He was comfortably the series' leading wicket-taker, with Andrew Flintoff behind him in a distant second place with 24 wickets.
And Strauss, like many other batters over the years, really struggled against him with no other bowler dismissing the England opener more in Tests. In fact, six of the eight times Warne got him out occurred during the 2005 Ashes.
