I realise only Australia and England compete in the Ashes and all the cricket nations, even the minnows have a chance to participate in the WC, but the Ashes is the oldest trophy in world sport, so how do people outside Australia and England view this fantastic rivalry? I know some of the players from India and Windies have said they still think it is more important than WC even though they can't play. But what about fans from other countries??

In response to "indian b", actually it is number 1 vs number 2 on the ICC test table at the moment! Whilst winning the Ashes won't quite win the test champioship for England it will take them within 2 points. You should check your facts. England are not half way down the table, as you claim. This is how they stand atm:
1 Australia 130
2 England 119
3 Pakistan 112
4 India 111
5 Sri Lanka 103
6 South Africa 94
7 New Zealand 92
8 West Indies 72
9 Zimbabwe 28
10 Bangladesh 2
