This is their lowest success rate across England. In the past 50 years, Australia have only won twice at The Oval. On the other hand, they have 17 wins from 29 matches at The Lord’s, giving them a success rate of 43.59%, which is better than both England’s 39.72% from 141 games and South Africa’s 33.33% from 15 games.
