Question
Some disgruntled members of his team called him "myxomatosis" because (according to them) he only bowled when the rabbits were in (more that he bowled only occasionally despite being in the team primarily as a bowler ) ,
he has one of the worst records for his country in the Ashes !! Only one other person in the history of the Ashes has done worse than him for his country !! 
Who is he ? What record is it ? Who has a record worse than his in the Ashes ?

He lost both his Ashes series as captain, only Mcdonnel done worse by losing all 3 of his ashes campaigns.JASON said:Ian Johnson is correct, but that is not the record I am looking for !!
Thats correct !! Ian Johnson has the worst record in the 20th century for an Australian Captain in the Ashes, having lost 2 Ashes in a row, and in fact only McDonnell who lost 3 ashes in a row (19th century) has a worser record for any Aussie captain in the Ashes !!archie mac said:
