All of these teams were/are called the Invincibles. Choose the greatest

Mumbai Indians London.

Probably the 24/25 ABs imo:

Played 32, won 32.
838 points scored with only 116 points against.
Tries were only worth 3 points then too.

The 48 Aussie cricket team would be a close 2nd.

1948 Australian team.
Because it has Don Bradman.

Fingleton reckoned that the 1948 Australians were overrated due to the weakness of English cricket at the time. Many put this down to his antipathy towards Bradman.

However the New Zealand tourists the following year only lost one first-class match, while scoring more runs than the Australians who obviously had much stronger bowling.

MIL - The acronym fits.

Curious, how many matches did they play?

The New Zealanders played 32 first-class matches in England in 1949, winning 13, losing 1 and drawing 18. The one defeat was against Oxford University on a rain-affected pitch when Cowie wasn't playing. Three future Test captains van Ryneveld, Kardar and Donald Carr played for Oxford. Seven minor games resulted in three wins and four draws.

The year before the Australians had played 31 first-class matches, winning 23 and drawing 8. They also played three minor games, winning two and drawing the other.

Mm 23-8 is slightly different than 13-1-18
