It is hard to argue against them. Current ODI and Test Championship leaders, World Champions, and the only team to beat every other test nation home AND away in the last ten years. Australia holds an 11 point lead of 2nd place England on the test table, and a 5 point lead over SA on the ODI table.
Despite losing the Ashes last year (only blemish on otherwise remarkable copybook), they have had an awesome 24 months, and brilliant build up to world cup defense.
Lets look back at the last 24 months:
TEST:Currently leading 2-0 (best of 5) vs England (H).
ODI: Champions Trophy - Champions (4W, 1L)
ODI: DLF Cup - Champions (3W, 1L, 1NR)
ODI: 3-0 vs Bangladesh (a)
TEST: 2-0 vs Bangladesh (a)
TEST: 3-0 vs South Africa (a)
ODI: 2-3 vs South Africa (a)
2020: 0-1 vs South Africa (a)
ODI: VB Series(h) - Champions (8W, 3L)
TEST: 2-0(3) vs South Africa (h)
2020: 1-0 vs South Africa (h)
ODI: 2-1 vs New Zealand (a)
TEST: 3-0 vs West Indies (h)
TEST: 1-2(5) vs England (a)
ODI: 2-1 Natwest Challange vs England (a)
ODI: Natwest Series (a) Shared with England (3W, 2L, 1NR, 1T)
2020: 0-1 vs England (a)
TEST: 2-0(3) vs New Zealand (a)
ODI: 5-0 vs New Zealand (a)
2020:1-0 vs New Zeland (a)
ODI: VB Series (h) - Champions (6W, 1L, 1NR)
TEST: 3-0 vs Pakistan (h)
So, a breif summary of Australia's games from December 04, to December 06 looks like this:
Tests: played: 24, won: 18, lost: 2, drawn: 4
ODI: played: 55, won: 38 , lost:13, NR: 3, Tied: 1
2020: played: 4, won: 2, lost: 2
Well, what can you say to that? Is awesome a strong enough word??

Ha ha all I have to contribute is this .. Roy Roy hes our Boy if he can't do it, no-one ........ um will .. Im glad of the three nations he had to chose from Andrew Symonds picked Australia.. It's no wonder the Aussies are no.1 Ricky Ponting should have taken Steve Waughs job as captain a long long time ago ..

I refuse to enter a battle of wits with you - it's against my morals to attack an unarmed person.
