HAROLD LARWOOD, England: Batsman Bill Woodford ducks a Larwood bouncer during the notorious 1932-33 ‘Bodyline’ series. The Nottinghamshire fast bowler took 33 wickets in the series but sparked a diplomatic incident between England and Australia after being ordered to bowl 'bodyline' at the Australian batsman by his captain Douglas Jardine. When he later refused to apologise for following his captain's orders he was banned by the MCC and eventually emigrated to Australia.
RICKY PONTING, Australia: The Aussie skipper led from the front as his side crushed England 5-0 in the last Ashes series to reclaim the famous urn. He averaged 82 with the bat as he erased the bitter memories of 2005. This will be Ponting's seventh Ashes series and his third as captain - if he performs well he will cement his place alongside other legends of these contests.
