So you don't count football as a worthwhile sport?

Easier to reverse the question - which worthwhile ones aren't we better than you at?

I find it strange you can't name a single sport.

I don't consider it a worthwhile sport - but yes, England did win the last Rugby Union game.
Australia won the last Rugby league game I believe?

Darts, snooker and some athletics events are the ones they consistently might have us.

What you consider worthwhile is not the same as me. However, higher ranked in rugby, won more recently and won a World Cup more recently.

There isn't a world cup for the real version of cricket, only for one days. When was the last time you won a series in England? also, England have won a world limited overs tournament more recently than the cons.

Meanwhile in rugby: England have won the last game in England, in Australia and on neutral territoy.

Speaking about Cricket, it turns out there is a World Cup match on as we speak... who would've thought?

South Africa have started well.

The men's 50 over cricket World Cup has been won by Australia 4 times, and by England 0 times
The women's 50 over cricket World Cup is currently held by Australia, with their 6th title.

In T20, the women are the champs, but the men have never won.

Meanwhile in rugby: we are not Northern monkeys or Eastern seaboard latte-sipping, tree trunk necked bogans, so it is irrelevant.

So as you're not from the vaguely civilised part, even in Aussie rules GB does better in international tournaments

Why the northern monkey reference.

So when was the last time England beat Australia? What was the last result between the 2 countries?

So you only pick and choose when teams beat each other?

So England can't beat Australia at Football?

If they haven't played each other in a competitive match then you can't use that to judge, that's obvious. Using your theory, Barcelona can't beat my kids team. I think we all know who would win if they played though.

You can't take results in friendly matches seriously.
Why is half a day at home more tiring than a week at work?

Neither teams have played against each other in a competitive match. However, in friendlies I think you've won one in about 8.

I know we won the last one. Which means England hasn't beaten Australia in over 13 years.

You've not even made the QF's of a major tournament. When you manage that it may well be the basis of a decent football comparison.
