To quote one of the presenters on the sports show on ABC at the weekend. I'd take the ashes over the number 1 ranking.Bomber wrote:His pocket hurting doesn't stop me celebrating a 2-0 win and a carton of beer from kiwi mate. Oh, and we're no 1 again. Happy days.
Each to their own. I could understand it if it were neck and neck (rating) but what's the point of holding the ashes if you're cabernet and cant beat anyone else?God is an Englishman wrote:To quote one of the presenters on the sports show on ABC at the weekend.

From what I read, We hold almost all trophies available to us.Bomber wrote:Point was I'd rather be no 1 (meaning better team in world overall) than being lower or lowly ranked but hold one specific trophy.
I agree with GIAE (can't believe I'm saying this) - the Ashes are more important than No.1 ranking.Bomber wrote:Point was I'd rather be no 1 (meaning better team in world overall) than being lower or lowly ranked but hold one specific trophy.
So you'd be ok if we beat them, and lost to every other test nation? I wouldn't. Cricket is about winning, not just winning against one particular lot you usually beat anyway.

The only thing is it's more important to us as cricket followers rather than it is the players.
Judging by the way our boys seemed like when we lost the Ashes - it's nothing but a nice trip to England for them nowadays because we won't win there
I never said I wouldn't want to beat every other nation - I'm saying there's no point beating every other nation if we can't beat our biggest rivals.Bomber wrote:So you'd be ok if we beat them, and lost to every other test nation?

Clearly you're wrong (yet again).B.Toomer wrote:Hey Polak, your hurt is showing through. The ashes is the one all Aussies want, top of the rankings is a consolation prize.
