England

Along with Australia, England has the richest history for a Test-playing nation. England played Australia at MCG in 1877 in the first-ever Test match. For the rest of the 19th century, England dominated the sport. They were good both at home and away. While their domination has reduced since 1990s, England still continues to be one of the best teams in the world.

Even in the first half of the 20th century, England still went toe-to-toe with Australia and won many Ashes series both at home and away. In 558 matches, England has 241 wins with a win percentage of 43.2 at home. While England's win percentage isn't as impressive, their number of home wins might not be surpassed by this decade by any team below them.
