I like how some of the England supporters suddenly start going on about the Ashes again. Australia won the cup and they deserve it. Some of the English fans just cant face the truth like you and TheWolf.Quote:

And the Ashes win wasn't even like WOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You won mainly thanks to the rain.
I like how your argument centrals around the weather. I'll give you a tip - the weather supports neither side. Both sides have to deal with the same weather so it is not a positive nor negative factor for either sides. That argument is flawed.Quote:

I don't care about the Champions Trophy. Ashes and World Cup, all that matters.Quote:

INDIA DIDNT WIN THE CHAMPIONS TROPHY, SO THAT DOESNT MATTER. ITS USELESS. KKBYE
You're neither English, nor Australian, so you can't really tell US the English what it feels like to win an Ashes series, you can't say that it means nothing, you have no rite at all, you don't experience the Ashes like the Aussies and the English do, so you can get that out of your head.Quote:

Are you English? No.Quote:

"Kkbye".
The CT is technically a Minor World Cup, as it's the 8 seeded teams who participate, the top 8 teams, who should in theory get through to every super 8's and semi's in both formats of the World Cup.
It's nothing like the African Nations, as that is not a competition between the top 8 football teams in the world, is it? :rolleyes_
I wouldn't say it's as important, because you can guarantee their will be no anomalies like in the normal world cups, where the associates can cause upsets.
But it's still hugely entertaining, and it's great for someone like me cos they show all statistics more often, keeps me more entertained in a 50-over format :D
Plus in all honestly, as a true Englishman, I don't see why the Ashes is anymore important than any other series, it's bad for the game because noone then goes to test matches which involve England and another nation, as it's "not as important".
Yeah, they were the first two test teams ever, big whoop. Why shouldn't the Wisden trophy be deemed as important?
PS, to you two slating Saurav for not being English, he has a bigger following, it's called India v Pakistan; the fiercest rivalry in World Cricket. Much bigger than the Ashes :)
