England hasn\u2019t won an Ashes series since 2015. They haven\u2019t won a Test in Australia since 2011. Responding to ex-Australia batter David Warner's prediction England would lose the series down under 4-0, Broad said Australia have their \"worst\" team since 2010 heading into this Ashes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"You wouldn\u2019t be outlandish in thinking \u2013 it\u2019s actually not an opinion, it\u2019s a fact \u2013 it\u2019s probably the worst Australian team since 2010 when England last won. And it\u2019s the best English team since 2010,\u201d he said on his podcast, For The Love Of Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now, O'Keefe has now came in support of Broad's comment and said he agreed with Broad's sentiments. \"I\u2019m looking at the squad we had then. Ponting and Clarke, Haddin, Harris, Johnson, Katich, young Khawaja and Smith, England handed it to us 3-1. Cook dominated that series; James Anderson took 24 wickets. It was a well-led team by Andrew Strauss,\" O'Keefe said on SEN Run Home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThat English team was fantastic. I do agree with the sentiment (from Broad). I do agree that this English team is the best since 2010, and I do think this is the most vulnerable the Australians have looked since 2010. It\u2019s not the worst team. There was a lot of instability about the spin bowling during that (2011) series; it was not consistent. It was imbalanced, but some of the greatest Aussie cricketers played in that team,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Aussie skipper Pat Cummins is facing an uphill battle to prove his fitness, with the latest scans revealing his back stress fracture has not yet healed. He could miss the opening Ashes Test on November 21 in Perth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
