Boro Born Ashes Players

[McMordie]

I see that Australia have a Middlesbrough born bowler in their Ashes squad, which got me thinking about who was the last Boro born Ashes player.

The last I can think of is Chris Old - surely I must be forgetting some more recent examples?

Bill Athey? Last played an Ashes Test in 1987.

My cricketing claim to fame.
I hit a four off Chris Old in the mid sixties. I was playing for Marske juniors and he was playing for Middlesbrough juniors.

Matt Renshaw. Born in Middlesbrough, family moved to New Zealand when he was 7 and then on to Australia when he was 10.

Yeah, I'm hoping that when England get to 950-3 they'll have to give him a bowl. Cook and Athey are good shouts - Athey last played in an Ashes test in 1988.

The Australia v England game in 1988 wasn't an Ashes Test.

True. 1987 then. Anyone later?
