I mean we would actually call up more bowlers to come in, like in 2020/21 BGT when the squad had to take in net bowlers as potential replacements. We would actually compete better than what England served up this series.

Aus whitewashing NZ makes this even harder to tell

That’s not a big challenge for Australia. It’s like India whitewashing SL. For them the challenge is to win in Eng or Ind, which they haven’t. Atleast Ind won in Aus twice, drew in SA and Eng, and maintained a much better home record. So it’s easily India

Australia Under 10s would do that to the NZ first team

Australia drew their series in Bangladesh too 
last time they played there.
Actually Bangers are no easy pushovers at home. India almost lost a test recently.

i recommend you to check the last time NZ won against Australia at home
No it doesn't. Until they beat India, there is no discussion abut Australia.

I'm not convinced that many people are taking this thread too seriously.... (apart from RIS obvs).

Yeah whoever voted England ahead of Australia is high. Australia drew in England and England hasn't won a test in Australia in donkey years. Plus Australia were much more competitive in India than England imo.

Bit harsh on england with the india stuff. The 4th test where gill and jurel clutched up was way closer than any of the games we played bar the win, and the game we won was on a lottery bunsen.

Possibly. But Australia did in fact draw in England and I give England zero chances of doing the same down under. If that weren't enough, Australia did in fact sweep NZ, where as England drew in Nz last year. Yes, NZ won the 2nd test by one run but it still goes in the books as a drawn series.

Your 100% right. I don't think you can have england ahead unless they win atleast two tests in the next test down under.

England losing in Australia is irrelevant. I mean you can also make everything prior to recent games irrelevant if you want. But England were clearly the better side against Australia last summer FACT, were more impressive away to Pakistan and Burgey doesn’t support us. Oh and we’ve not lost at home to the Windies for a good few years either. What more do you want?

It might not have been close if Bumrah was playing. Ollie Robinson got 58 or something.
