it looks like 4 Australian bowlers may take all the England wickets that fall in the current series (barring run outs).
Has this ever happened before!?

Thanks! Only joined today & didn't really know what I was doing! Anyway hope it happens!Welcome to the forum, just fyi this is probably not the best place to have posted this question. Would have been more appropriate for Cricket Chat or even the Ashes subforum.
But anyhow, to answer your question no it hasn't ever happened before. The closest was actually the 2013 Ashes, when Johnson, Harris, Siddle and Lyon took the wickets but Steve Smith also bagged 1.

He's talking about the 2013/14 series.Smith got more than 1 in that series didn't he? Got a few at Lord's IIRC
It's still a wild stat nonetheless. Would not have guessed that, especially with Watson around.
I think Adders meant that series though, because that's the one where Siddle, Harris, Johnson and Lyon played all the games and no other bowlers did.No it definitely doesn't apply to the 2013/14 series because Watson and Smith got wickets in that series.
!00% right mate. I heard this on ABC yesterday.....and I did check on crapinfo, but missed Watto's 4 wickets.No it definitely doesn't apply to the 2013/14 series because Watson and Smith got wickets in that series.
I have done Australia and can confirm it is the lowest number in a 5-Test series for them. A close miss was in 1964 when Bob Simpson as the fifth bowler took one wicket.
I should also mention the three-Test series of 1888, when just three bowlers took wickets.
Yes, and Andrew Symonds took 2 wickets, which ruins itDidn't 4 bowlers each take over 20 wickets in the 06/07 Ashes.
