No contest at all for me, Ashes.

If we hadn't lost the last ashes it might have been the world cup, but since then the ashes.

Will be surprised if any Aussies vote against the little urn tbh

Ashes, but only just. The World Cup involves every cricket nation in the world and is probably the most difficult trophy to win. The Ashes is important, and I prefer test cricket by a distance, but if we'd won it again last year I think I'd be more concerned about the World Cup in terms of Australia's goals heading into this summer.

The poll doesn't reflect that. It is perfectly understandable for Aussies to give retaining the ashes more importance than winning the World Cup.grecian said:
My question is, how would the aussies on here would have voted in this poll 10 years ago when they had lost two world cups, but the ashes were safe with them.

Yeah, it's definitely about the fact that we've won the WC twice recently. In fact, 4 years ago when we were heading into another Ashes/WC summer, I would have voted for the WC I think. Losing the Ashes makes you look forward to the next one a great deal, but winning the World Cup is certainly greater achievement than a single test series.nightprowler10 said:

I don't know, as Haigh said: if Aust played the Bangas in a 100 Test matches with the present two teams they would win 100 (except weather) but they would lose the odd ODI match.FaaipDeOiad said:
To win a five Test series there is no rarely any doubt who is the best team, but luck often decides ODI matches.
I will be cheering the Aussies on in the next WC, but I won't lose any sleep about losing a contrived game where bowling tight is more important then taking wickets.
