#3 Australia - 25 Tests

Australia
Don Bradman’s Invincibles team became the first team to go unbeaten in a tour of England

Australia are on the only team to have gone more than 20 consecutive games unbeaten twice. And it comes as no surprise that with a 25-game unbeaten run that spread over nearly five years, it is Don Bradman's Invincibles team that takes the third spot.

Even before Australia became the first Test side to play an entire tour of England without losing a match and earned the moniker of "The Invincibles" and went down as one of the greatest sides to play the game, they had already been unbeaten in 11 consecutive Tests against New Zealand, England and India.

Then came the 1948 tour of England, where they played 31 first-class matches, winning 23 and drawing eight of them, including the Test series against England 4-0. And it didn't stop there despite that being Don Bradman's farewell tour of England.

They went on to beat South Africa away from home and won four consecutive matches against England and the series before losing the final match at Melbourne, which ended their 25-game unbeaten streak that comprised of 20 wins (9 away from home) and six consecutive Test series wins and a streak of five consecutive Test wins on three different occasions.
