James Anderson retired from international cricket in 2024 but has continued to play for Lancashire
England great Sir James Anderson says Australia are favourites to win the Ashes despite agreeing with former team-mate Stuart Broad the hosts have their "weakest" team for 15 years.
Broad last month said the current Australia side is the worst since 2010 in response to former opener David Warner's prediction England will lose the upcoming series 4-0.
Anderson and Broad were both part of England's last triumph down under in 2010-11, but the tourists have suffered heavy defeats of 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 in their three tours of Australia since.
"I don't think England are quite favourites, I'd say Australia are still favourites, in Australia," Anderson told TNT Sports.
