will we be the best test side in the world? I'm not sure how the stats work in cricket but I believe we were second after beating South Africa?

i doubt we would go top if we win the ashes, but if we have a good winter, then possibly.

The only way we wouldve be top of the Test rankings if we beat Aussies 5-0.
Sadly they won the first one.
So no.
