The last series home and away are the most important.
Away draw, home win, trophy held the whole time (and prior series). Even when you nitpick, we still come out on top.
If we use last two series:

Australia 6
England 2
Draws 2

So Australia in front.

I heard England are contemplating signing Novak Djokavic to be their opening batsmen in the next ashes series. They are impressed it took Australia two weeks to get him out.

How is home and away nitpicking?

It shows you're only better than us at home..
Also shows you're NOT better than us away.

@ Toomer

A big thanks to England for helping Australia reclaim the no:1 test cricket ranking (& T20). Our ascendency to the top coupled with your humiliation has been quite pleasing to witness.....

Yeah England have played about 20 tests away from home last couple of years, living in stupid bubbles trying to keep the game going. Apart from against England last Ashes when is the last time Australia even made the effort

I doubt you'd even know, seeing you need to get outside help to build anything.

Make your landlord rich, no worries. :thumbup:

Imagine if you bought a property here, even in the east, when you first came here. Do you reckon you'd be better or worse off at the current time?
