I'd personally take a series in in SA over a WC, but a lot of people like WC. Winning against Australia in Australia, in my mind, would surpass winning the world cup the next three times, really.You'd take winning the World Cup over a Test Series victory in Australia?
What? It would be a good thing.Lol at you getting ecstatic with a draw in England but referring to a WC win as only good.
Given the cliche of the Asian obsession with ODIs, it's always good to find a true (ie Test) believer from that part of the world. I couldn't agree more - finally winning in India in 2004 meant a lot more to me than any of our WC victories. Although the 87 win was special, as it was Australia's first tentative step toward recovery after the debacle that was the mid-1980s.I'd personally take a series in in SA over a WC, but a lot of people like WC.

Yeah its gonna be ridiculous.Not that excited about this year as I was at the start of last year, probably because of the lack of Tests.
I am however looking forward to a month and a half of zero sleep during the World Cup. Will be great. Cricket all night, uni and studying all day (ha, who am I fooling).
That's what it's all about, baseless optimism.You won't beat us. In fact I fancy us for a magnificent seven next summer.
Then again, I fancy us for that every summer.
You do realise that nobody has won a Test series in England since 2001 don't you? And that since then only India, South Africa and Sri Lanka have escaped with draws (escaped being a bit generous on the home team tbf). It's nothing to turn your nose up at, you knowLol at you getting ecstatic with a draw in England but referring to a WC win as only good.

Baseless was the wrong word. I should have said "blind optimism". You've definitely got grounds to be optimistic, but I get the feeling that even if you didn't, you would be anyway.Baseless?

No I understand that, and I am not questioning him getting ecstatic over a draw in England... but it's just that WC means so much more to me.You do realise that nobody has won a Test series in England since 2001 don't you?
