Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff thinks the current Test side is the "best team we've ever had".

England fly out to Australia on 28 October and begin their defence of the Ashes in Brisbane on 23 November.

Flintoff, who was part of the 2005 Ashes winning side, said that he "really believed" in England, despite Australia being favourites to win.

"It's not a case of England winning - it's by how many," the 39-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live.

"It's the type of side you'd want to be involved in, from the coach and the captain down. I think England will have a good winter.

"We've got Jimmy Anderson, who is England's best ever bowler; Alastair Cook, England's best ever batter. And you throw in the likes of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, who is fantastic - it's exciting times."

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

MaleahNow that Joe Root has 2 centuries in Australia, I assume those Australian fans, who said he couldn’t be classed as great unless he achieved that, will now say he is?? Given that the great Steve Smith has never scored a test ton in Pakistan….(05.01.2026, 12:31)(12:31)0
