Cricket's greatest rivalries?

[Craig]

Who is it? I suppose Australia and England for the win, but India and Pakistan can't be discounted and contests between the WI and England, and South Africa and England are up there.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Would like to think the Frank Worrell Trophy was up there, especially from 1989-99.

But out of the current selection:
Traditionally - The Ashes
Emotionally - India/Pakistan

My fault right there, definatly should be in there.

Historically it has to be the Ashes, but the emotion, pride and passion surrounding India-Pakistan clashes can't be ignored.

In the end, neither of them comes close to Dicko-Beevs.

My question -

Are England good enough to be considered rivals anymore?

 

[Laurrz]

always feels special

but im biased

Well Dicko-ZR has done of late.

Hahahahaha. Voted Ind-Pak before I saw that myself and Beevs was actually an option.

I know I said I'd try to avoid mentioning him again, but my dislike of him has to do with far, far more than the game of cricket.

Historically i'd rate the top 3 cricketening rivalries as The Ashes, Frank Worrell Trophy & India vs Pakistan. Other rivalries such as India vs Australia from 98-2004 etc had its their periods but have just died down..

 

[ohtani's jacket]

England vs. anybody?

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Any game between two of England, Australia and the West Indies is pretty special.

Craig Beevers. Better known as Beevs.

Ah, I miss his irrational hatred of NZ cricket. It was highly amusing

AWTA.

I picked Australia vs England because the rivalry is strong in Test cricket - the type that matters. The problem with India-Pakistan is that the rivalry is rarely handled the right way by millions of dire fans, and usually ODIs matter a lot. Plus, historically, India-Pakistan Tests have frequently been played conservatively because both sides were afraid of losing and facing public wrath at home, whereas Ashes have a longer and more interesting history behind them.

You've yet to make up a nickname for me yet.

I don't need one - your posting-ID is your nickname. And you've complained vociferously about my not using it, exactly, alone.

Not, of course, that I even dislike you. The whole lot comes from your direction, and of times has been almost as bad as some of the stuff Beevs threw my way. (No, that's not a comment on Beevs)
