"It's very, very difficult to win in Australia as an England side, or any side, said Broad on his podcast, For The Love Of Cricket. Australia have to be massive favourites. Australia are under the most pressure because they're expected to win, they're brilliant at home, but they've got question marks over their team and question marks over their captain's fitness."
"You wouldn't be outlandish in thinking it's actually not an opinion, it's a fact it's probably the worst Australian team since 2010 when England last won. And it's the best English team since 2010. So those things match up to the fact that it's going to be a brilliant Ashes series. Australia have been so consistent for a long period of time that you just knew who was going to open the batting, who was going to bat,"
Stuart Broad said England will face probably the worst Australian team since 2010 on the upcoming Ashes tour, citing uncertainty over Australia's top order and captain fitness. David Warner predicted a 4-0 Australian victory but conceded that absence of captain Pat Cummins could reduce wins. Australia have not lost a men's Ashes match at home since 2010-11 and have recorded 5-0 and 4-0 series wins in recent years. The No 1-ranked Test side has lost only one of its past 13 bilateral series but faces questions over selection and Cummins' back injury ahead of the Perth Test.
