India-Pakistan and Ashes are the two most intense battles fought on the cricket field. Tensions rise and things even go upto a personal level as well. It often is the case of pride for each of these teams, so what do you prefer, India-Pakistan or The ashes.

Surely India Pakistan and Ashes are two of the biggest battles fought on a cricket field today. I prefer india pakistan more than the ashes as the competition is much more in it than the ashes. Of late, ashes has become a one sided encounter and there is not as much thrill and excitement as in india pakistan matches. India-Pakistan matches are very popular in whole of asia and in western countries too but ashes is popular all over except for asia where india pakistan matches are preferred. Even people who know nothing about cricket are concerned about the result of an indo-pak match. So i'd say india pakistan matches have more sentiments and passion into it.

I agree as even people who are not much into cricket, they are also waiting for the outcome of india pakistan matches. Same goes for ashes but i feel most people know that the thrill and excitement in an india pakistan match is more than the ashes.

Thats what i meant, even people like you who prefer watching a cricket match for just a while also watch India-Pakistan matches completely till the end. India-Pakistan brings in that special X-factor to the cricket field that we all love to watch and feel.

Sure both matches generate interests for people but India-Pakistan matches are more appealing than the ashes. Ashes have not been as competitive as an Indo-Pak encounter. Thats why i feel india pakistan have an edge over the ashes in terms of good quality matches.

India Pakistan matches are more attractive as these two teams offer much more competition than what we see in the Ashes. But both have their own significance, ashes trophy gives an edge to the series but the competition between australia-england being not so tough, it takes away the excitement and thrill. On the other hand, excitement and thrill is at its peak in an indoo-pak encounter and i'll have to say my favourite too is India-Pakistan series.

My favourite is India Pakistan match as you dont know what will happen at what time and can never predict who will win the match.However when it comes to Ashes its mostly Australian dominated with very few miracles from England.

Totally agreed with you, India-Pakistan offer more competitive matches than The ashes. India-Pakistan matches are usually quite close and tension building but Ashes has been totally one sided for a long time except for the last series that england won.

Off course india-pakistan matches are more appealing than ashes, I think all asians as well as some westerns love to see the sub-continent's rivals in action

i agree withh u that these are the 2 important battles played between india- pakistan and ashes, but if u compare ashes is given more preference around the world, but i like india-pakistan contest more than anything...

Ashes is popular in Australia and England, India-Pakistan matches are popular in their respective countries too. But its given more weightage sometimes because it has the ashes trophy attached to it. I think India-Pakistan shouls also tag some trophy with the series win that has some emotional meaning to it. Then i think it'll even more popular than ashes all over the world.

The same thing happens in the whole of india and pakistan. The excitement and even the tensions and thrill an india pakistan match brings in is unmatched.
