The Ashes rivalry between England and Australia is already heating up, with tensions escalating well before the first Test. Recently, David Warner made bold predictions for Australia, and now Stuart Broad has made a comeback with an even more lethal delivery.
Speaking at an event, Warner had claimed that Australia would sweep England 4-0 if Pat Cummins is fit and still win 3-1 if the skipper misses out. The former destructive opener suggested that Australia will be chasing the Ashes urn, while England will be left fighting just for the “moral victory.”
Verbal spat breaks out between Stuart Broad and David Warner over Ashes 2025-26 prediction
This prediction sparked a verbal spat between Stuart Broad and Warner. The former England fast bowler has called the current Australian team the weakest they’ve fielded since 2010. Notably, England last won the Ashes series in Australia back in 2010.

Broad also highlighted how injuries to key players, retirements, and poor form have left holes in Australia’s once-dominant lineup, putting added pressure on the hosts to perform in the upcoming five-match Test series.
He also pointed out that Australia still has some quality players, but their collective experience and consistency are far below the past line-up.
Stuart Broad fires back at David Warner, calls Australia the weakest side since 2010
Stuart Broad told Jos Buttler on their podcast, ‘For The Love of Cricket’: “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.”
He added, “Australia has been so consistent with their plans and approach, and they do not have that anymore. The question really is which team is under pressure, and I guess that’s Australia.”

Notably, Stuart Broad recalled the 2010-11 Ashes series, the last time England managed to win in Australia. It was a historic achievement, as the English team defeated Australia on their home soil with a convincing 3-1 series score.

What did David Warner say?
Taking a dig at England, Warner had said at the Fox Cricket event, “The Australian way because we're playing for the Ashes and they're playing for a moral victory. There's your headline. I'll just stick with 4-nil. I think 4-nil. There's going to be a washout somewhere; it's generally Sydney.”
Warner further noted, “Australia has to be massive favourites. The question really was, 'Which team's under the most pressure?' Well, Australia is 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 [the fitness of] captain [Pat Cummins].”
Notably, Australia’s plans for the Ashes 2025-26 face a massive setback with Pat Cummins facing ongoing back stress issues.
The star pacer’s fitness left doubts over whether he will be available for the first Test in Perth. The injury could also affect his participation in the rest of the Ashes series. The Ashes 2025-26 series is all set to get underway on November 21 in Perth.
