Ashes or the World Cup?

Sir Alex · 26-04-2010, 06:58 AM

Which among the two is the major attraction of coming summer?

silentstriker · 26-04-2010, 07:09 AM

Ashes. Obv.

Migara · 26-04-2010, 07:11 AM

How could it be world cup?

Noble One · 26-04-2010, 07:14 AM

The one we don't hold.

WC since NZ actually competes. Pretty close though but I find it hard to support this English team and very difficult to support any Australian team.

Losing to England in Australia would be truly heartbreaking. Honestly couldn't contemplate it.

Goughy · 26-04-2010, 08:01 AM

Doubt Ill watch a single game of the WC. Im always excited about the Ashes and even more so that Ill be in roughly the same time zone this time and there is a small chance I could get out to Aus for a game or two.

superkingdave · 26-04-2010, 08:13 AM

Yeah...Nah, don't really GAF about the WC

The Ashes has me pants-wettingly excited for months in advance. Prefer watching cricket broadcast from Australia too, for time zone reasons and also because I think it generally provides better cricket to watch.

It really would be the best thing ever wouldn't it?

Never going to happen though so not even worth thinking about.

I will just enjoy our customery one fluke test match win, just like the last time we toured in 2002/2003

Ashes by a mile.

If it were the football world cup, though, then I would be quite torn.

Thought about that when I saw the thread title. England win the world cup or the Ashes in Australia? a tough one. Think the ashes would mean more to me personally though, have a somewhat difficult relationship with our football team.

ODI WC obviously, as always.

More so this time as after a long time there'll be no champion team in the Ashes. A test series between a moderate and a good test team, that's it. Big deal! :P

World cup for sure.Major ICC trophies >>> bilateral contests....the exception being the joke that is the t20 WC.
