Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

[PlayerComparisons]

Three teams pretty similar in quality

 

[ma1978]

To suggest anyone other than India at this point is ridiculous, because neither Australia or England can beat India home or away. Australia can’t even beat India at home.

 

[Majestic]

India followed by Australia.

England are well behind. They couldn't beat Australia or India even at home.

 

[Slifer]

India followed by Australia.

England are well behind. They couldn't beat Australia or India even at home.

This.

 

[Sunil1z]

If you give importance to WTC final then both IND and Aus
If you give importance only to bilateral series and don’t value WTC final then IND

However We might have a better idea in December.

Australia can't even beat WI at home.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ireland

 

[Slifer]

Australia can't even beat WI at home.

England hasn't beaten WI away since 2004.

 

[Sunil1z]

Australia can't even beat WI at home.

But they also won WTC final .

 

[ma1978]

But they also won WTC final .

yay, even when you add it up, India head to head record against Australia is 8-5 with four bilateral series. Not a discussion

I think I mean to this.

But again, will be decided this year

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Probably England.

How is England in this conversation. They are second bottom of the WTC.
India currently best by a margin . Till face a knockout game

 

[PaulLennon]

But they also won WTC final .

In conditions that massively favored them.

 

[rtramdas]

i think the ICC rankings are taking care of this on their on . As per that too , India is the current no:1 followed by AUS... Yes ... India not able to beat NZL in NZL, NZL not able to beat AUS in NZL .... All these are being taken care of by ICC rankings ...So just following these rankings is enough ...

Look, player for player they might not be the best.
If you look only at results, they might not be the best.
If you look only at the rankings they might not be the best.
But you know it, I know it, Ben Duckett knows it. The answer is England.

 

[Coronis]

In conditions that massively favored them.

Actually both Australia and India have drawn their last two series in England.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Going with the team that smashed India in the final to win the championship.

 

[Aidan11]

If you take out the actual results then it's England.
