Which is significantly less likely than New Zealand whitewashing India at H...... Oh Wait.

Um no. Can see Pakistan win a series in England the next decade.
Johan

Maybe the next century.

You act as if Pakistan lose every time they visit. They drew in 2016 and 2018.
Johan
International Coach
wait did Australia or Pakistan last win a series in England? I know Australia won one in England a quarter century ago, but when was Pakistan's last win here?

Pakistans last win is 1996. Australia is 2001.
Johan

Neither are winning in England ever again, atleast not this century.

Lol they are certainly going to get close to, and have, than England in Australia.
Johan
International Coach
getting close just hurts more when it's inevitably ripped away.

I mean if they are close I back them to win eventually. English conditions are more receptive to away teams to get parity.

English teams are more receptive to away teams to get parity too.

I mean, obviously you can only play who’s in front of you but it is fair play to call out a weakened attack, even if its just based on who is/isn’t available. For example, if Cummins missed the Ashes because he knocked up his wife again and Root had a good tour, people would rightly mention that it was a weakened attack.
Johan
International Coach
I think they will in, ever is a long time, I can see Australia finally winning in England in around 2077

That's true. I guess I'm just a little shameless in that while admitting the circumstances I'd happily take the win. Though if it was my team that was undermanned I wouldn't begrudge the opposition their success - I'd just think we have a capacity to get them back at full strength.

Awfully confident considering England have had to fight from behind the last two Ashes to even draw.
Johan
International Coach
All that matters is the bottomline, how we got there is completely irrelevant to me, though if they didn't win on wickets that suited them (2023) and against the worst English team since the second world war (2019), best of luck in 2027.

Arguably if not for luck they would have won both Ashes.
Johan
International Coach
sucks to be them I guess, now this Australian team's legacy would be drawing in England and losing in India. Though, Luck helped them plenty too.

2023 England gave them a headstart by not picking Woakes for the first two Tests. And then Aus were lucky to escape with a draw in the 5th due to rain.
In 2019 Aus should have won, they were the stronger side. Seemed happy to have retained the Ashes and played below their best in the 5th when there was a series win at stake.
