"Normal, worn out Aussies — continuously winning!" he added. "( I) anticipate inviting them home triumphant."
Sunak — who is likewise a cricket fan and watched with Ruler William from the Master's structure on Saturday — condemned misuse coordinated at the Australians by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) individuals.
Three people have had their MCC participation suspended forthcoming an examination.
According to the spokesperson, "He thinks it was right that the MCC have taken swift action to suspend any members accused of poor behavior."

The spokesperson made the observation that although the two leaders have a "friendly rivalry" over sports, Sunak does not consider cricket to be a fundamental diplomatic issue.
"The game gave a valuable chance to see Ben Stirs up at his best and it was an unbelievable Test match — he has certainty that Britain will return quickly," he added, after Stirs up hit a blasting 155 in his second innings in spite of his side falling 44 runs shy of triumph.
"Galvanized" On Thursday, Australia will begin the third Test at Headingley with the goal of winning the coveted Ashes series away from home.
Yet, Britain mentor Brendon McCullum likewise accepts the occurrence can go about as a lightning bar for a fightback in the series.
"They must accept that they produced a play in the end. We would have made an alternate play however such is reality," said the previous New Zealand skipper.
"In time, we'll see, however I get the inclination that it could meaningfully affect them.
"I couldn't say whether it's annoyance, however our unit is excited. As a coach, there are times when you need to control your emotions because they will bubble over and cause you to make poor decisions. However, there are also times when you should let your emotions go because they will motivate the team.
"That is how I felt this feeling helped the side. I checked out the gathering and the folks were somewhat disturbed. I'm all for it if that helps us win those crucial moments in the next Test."
Geoffrey Boycott, a former captain of England, has demanded an apology from Australia.
