Nothing can beat India/Srilanka series :two_thumbs_up:

India-Pakistan test matches are a bore fest. In ODIs the rivalry is really good, but for real cricket I would prefer to watch an Ashes test over India-Pakistan 9 times out of 10.

Yeah, India was the only team to consistently put up a fight against the all time great Australian side, much like Pakistan did to the all time great West Indian team in the 80s - everyone else used to be steamrolled.

I remember Pakistan putting up a good fight sporadically and even defeating Australia in the end 90s - 1999 WC and 2001 ODI series win in Australia (2-1).

Akram is like marketing guy. Goes to Pakistan bashes India. When coaching in IPL praises India.

This is BS of the highest order. There is nothing like the Ashes in test cricket. No shame in accepting that.

I always remember only 2 test series fondly - India vs Aus 2001 & Ashes 2005. cant remember any better series than these 2 watched or read in 21+ years of my cricket following.

Ashes are good only last few years because England managed to get competitive. Australians are taking forever to complete their transition. For 20 years or Ashes were the most one sided contests you would ever see.

Where has he "bashed" India?..strange comment. Just live and let live.

Ashes are mostly drab affairs because both teams are never in form at the same time. They are like each other's anti-matter. England's ascendancy even now co-incides with the fall of Australia. It's a fight but rarely one of equals. their marketing is spot on and the boards know how to sell tradition. With all this money in hand BCCI should sponsor a vivid retelling of an important moment in Indian cricket complete with inside stories and fresh insights into a past event. Where is our Bodyline?
