England are world champion at cricket in both test and 20/20?! I had no idea.

As an Australian I was pretty confident it wouldn either be us or India. But England?!?! Since when have they been any good at cricket? Shocked.

New Zealand are the test champions. England are the ODI and T20 champions, which still feels weird even though England have been an OK team for about ten years now. I grew up in the 90s and 2000s when England were crappy to the point of being a meme. Got so used to it that it’s still weird to see them not sucking ten years later.

Test champions? Aren’t Australia ranked the number one test team in the world currently?

There is a test “season” where the two top teams play against each other at the end. New Zealand won the last one (which was the first) against India in 2021. It’s every 2 years, so the next is this year.

Unlike Australia (record winner with 5 titles), 2019 was also the first Cricket World Cup triumph for England.

btw. 2023 is the next Cricket World Cup (October - November 2023) in India, then Australia can show again who is the king of the castle ;-)
