Who would win this contest in all conditions, countries hypothetically?

This is arguably the best side since all the greats retired.


Say out of 10 tests in all conditions e.g Australia, England and subcontinent. Current team actually has a better spin attack in subcontinent. In Australia, someone like Scott Boland would definitely pose a huge threat. In England, current team doesn't win a game as Shane Warne and Mcgrath would be too good.

I voted 1 test as the batting lineup gives too many collapses.

Excellent question halba
I still gave them only one test victory- in the subcontinent. They have a proper spin attack. The Peak one didnt and Warne wasnt effective in India (he was effective in SL, Bang and Dubai). Murphy wouldve been solid here on a turning track, he was sold down the river for this 2nd test. Every other conditions they would lose all Tests due to Shane Warne and Glenn Mcgrath ,but Boland/Cummins/Starc would keep things tight, but the batting isnt anywhere near as good is the main flaw. In england, they wouldnt win a game, they would be annihilated, the peak aus team was Great in england, pity mcgrath got injured for a bit in that 2005 ashes - they certainly wouldnt have lost a game.
