Indians claim? lol just read the views from australians on australian forums or even the aussie posters on this forum, the rivalry is mutual and the 2nd biggest rivarly for them after australia vs england. Aus vs nz and aus vs sa barely qualifies as rivalry lol
 
Everyone wants to have a rivalry with them. Guess it's more to do with the brand of cricket they play.
 
List of rivalries:

England v Australia
England v South Africa
Australia v South Africa
India v Pakistan
Australia v New Zealand
Bangladesh v Zimbabwe
 
As the inventors of cricket, England has a rivalry with every other nation.

I am not sure it is something they wanted. It just happened with so many controversies. World class players trolling in media. Mcgrath, Warne, Sachin.Bhajji, Ponting, Gilly. Then there is Laxman vs Australia rivalry. Ganguly trolling Aussies, Monkey gate, Bucknor incident. Despite all that both teams go toe to toe with each other unlike some of the other rivalries. England/OZ is just a traditional rivalry. Controversies led to this rivalry. Kohli's comments about Mitchell Johnson later Steve smith's cajoling the third umpire all added up to the already existing rivalry.
 
India is definitely a rival.

New Zealand no. West Indies used to be a rival but not anymore.
 
Nice to see you back, but how can you say NZ are not a rival?
And what about the old enemy - England?

Holding the Ashes is more important to Australians than winning the world cup. That says it all about whether or not England are a rival.

If anything Australian cricket fans have a lot of affection to NZ cricket and wish them well. That's like the opposite of a rivalry.
