Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

[Arachnodouche]

An Indian series win in NZ is only a matter of time. Next time we go there, actually. BCCI should indulge its inner fanboy if he exists and push for at least a three-Test series. No more cold starts, no more ambushes

I agree. 2 tests series doesn't make sense.

 

[honestbharani]

how do you define the best all round team other than who wins the actual matches when they play each other

anyone other than India is his default definition.

 

[TheJediBrah]

It can't be Australia right now. WTC final came at the perfect time for them, since then they've fallen off a cliff. Feel that it has to be India

Unless Rohit and co have NO serious injuries and go out with a strong will to avenge WC, I fully expect India to lose like 3-1 at the end of year.

Cute. You brought Tendulkar to fight the might of Jeetan Patel and Jimmy Franklin over 3 tests and still only managed 1-0.

You're not being ambushed, your bois are just **** against outswing bowling and lunatics bowling bouncers.

2-0 if not for rain in the 3rd Test

Thats only because defensive Dhoni felt 500 plus wasn't a safe enough target to win.

It's not like Australia are super strong at home of late.

but they’re still somehow on equal footing with India

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Australia failed to win series in SL, against WI at home, and now potentially in NZ

I gave India the edge at the moment.

India failed to win in SA twice playing a lineup with Jansen at 7 and two and a half batsmen and got smashed last time they toured nz. If the England series was a two match series like the windies where India also would have failed to beat England at home.

India are the better overall team, but these goalposts your setting are really weird, and the whole windies thing is frankly disrespectful to shamar Joseph. Dude produced one of the greatest spells of fast bowling by a touring pacer in AUS with a broken toe and people are looking back on that series like "lol, u lost to the windies."

 

[_00_deathscar]

SA at their own home are still a halfway decent outfit
There’s no excuse to not beating Windies at home

 

[Socerer 01]

its weird to hold the NZ loss against India anymore due to how long ago it was, there are only 4 players who played in the 2nd test per team who are still first team players. you dont see anyone criticise Australia for failing to win in South Africa in the sandpaper series for eg because it was long ago too

either team has the tools to win. Raw talent wise, I think Aus better than Ind but I just think you can’t say someone is subjectively better without looking t results

And we all know how much a broken toe(nail) can affect performance. A truly great performance, worthy of narration.

Warne would have averaged 5 in india with the ball if foreign affairs didn't sabotage the Australian teams and stop his bake bean supply.

This x10000. Frankly getting ridiculous just how much that spell has already been bizarrely memory holed as some fluke by a trundler that isn't worthy of taking seriously.
