'Wait and see' - Carey responds to Broad's Australia jibe

Wicketkeeper Alex Carey has shrugged off Stuart Broad's comments that the current Australia team is the worst since 2010-11.

Former England paceman Broad was responding to ex-Australia batter David Warner's prediction England would lose the upcoming series down under 4-0.

England's last triumph in Australia was in 2010-2011.

However, they have suffered heavy defeats of 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 in their three trips to Australia since.

"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," Broad told the For the Love of Cricket podcast on BBC Sounds.

However, Carey urged his former Ashes sparring partner to "wait and see", with the first Test beginning on 21 November in Perth.

"We've got a really experienced cricket team who have had a lot of success over the last five years under Pat Cummins," said Carey.

"To win a World Test Championship, to retain the Ashes over there, and to make another World Test Championship final last year was pretty good recognition for the success that this team has had.

"All the guys have played against Stuart in the past and we know how big a competitor he is and how much he's done for Test cricket.

"When you see players transition into the media, they're absolutely open to their opinions and the playing group doesn't hold any comments against anyone."
