Well, Test cricket has been around since 1877, and it's seen some pretty epic battles! But if we're talking about who's won the most, it's going to be Australia. As of July 2025, those Aussies have snagged 421 wins out of 876 matches, giving them a win rate of about 48%. They play hard, and with legends like Donald Bradman, Shane Warne, and Steve Waugh in their history, it's easy to see why. England comes in second with 402 wins from 1,087 matches; they're the only other team to break 400 wins.
