The OP says in England, don't think Australia will be that close to victory there. I predict 3-1 for England.

It's the best Test team of all time vs a great English side. Regardless of margin, shouldn't be difficult to pick Australia here.

Barrington in a 50’s XI is interesting.

That English team never played together, the Australian one played together 9 times and went 5-1-3

(their loss) https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...ca-vs-australia-3rd-test-63980/full-scorecard

I’ll pick Australia tho

It says in England though, I think a few are missing that

I think the phrase “nah we’d win” is appropriate here.

I think the English batting is significantly better, especially in England; and the bowling in English conditions, I will learn towards them as well.

Yeah the conditions suit England and we already saw how Ashes 2005 team gave Australia a tough time there

Well it also depends, are we assuming all players are at their best? There’s a lot of non overlap with the English team especially.

Basically playing at the level their overall career suggests.

Meh still taking Aussies.

Aust 4 - 0

They have not seen anything like Warne

Laker in England is excellent though.

Btw even 90s and 2000s Eng sides managed to win Ashes games.

Yeah but Warne is a completely different bowler with his bag of tricks. They'll struggle

They aren't going winless.

One win at best

Eng 97 and Eng 2005 managed two wins. It will be a close series.

what England? in 50s England, England would win simply on the account of being infinitely more experienced on wet pitches, on good hard wickets it'd be an Australian win, on greentops and turners it'd be tooths and nails, good thread.

I was thinking 80s Eng wickets, a nice mix of seamers and the occasional flat wicket. Era specific it is too much of an advantage.
