do you think our dear game of cricket is one of the most underrated sports in the world? Not many of the other non-cricket playing countries seems to even care about a theatrical spectacle like the ashes. or even the world cup. So what are your thoughts on cricket being an underrated sport. Do you agree ?

I fully agree with you that cricket is presently under rated sports in the world. This is because cricket is being played only in few countries as compared to other sports. ICC are planning to develop cricket in other countries, which will take some time.
Cricket will become most popular world over only when the same is played in majority of the countries in the world.

I doubt if cricket can even be classified as a sport, forget rating it. How does one explain playing for five days and still not getting a result? The game is extremely slow with too many people idle at any given point of time.
In 130 years, only 10 teams play it at the highest level. If India wasn't partitioned into Bangladesh and Pakistan, the number of teams would have stayed at 8. How do you explain that? The rules are way too complicated to understand at one go. It's a game that simply can't spread.

if we had more countries in test cricket, the ashes would only be on once every 10 years, where will fit all these extra matches, the schedule is already crowded. people will only follow it if their country is involved.
but, yes its underrated but who cares, i like it and i watch it.
