A five-wicket haul, known otherwise as a "five-for", involves a bowler taking five or more wickets during an innings. As of 2023, England's Sydney Barnes held the record for the most five-wicket hauls in men's Ashes history. During his career spanning from 1901 to 1914, Barnes picked up 12 five-wicket hauls in Ashes series. Meanwhile, Australia's Shane Warne, who topped the list of all-time leading wicket-takers in The Ashes, trailed Barnes' record by one five-wicket haul, with a return of 11 five-fors. Among the players who were more recently competing in international Test cricket in 2023, Stuart Broad had the most five-wicket hauls in The Ashes, with a total of eight while representing England.
