Question

Does anyone outside of England and Australia really care about the Ashes?

Answer 1

I am Australian, I care.

Answer 2

is that a band???

Answer 3

Ashes series used to be the toughest and well fought cricket series between England and Australia when it started..  However, once the game slipped into one sided match and also the series between Australia and India and India and Pakistan have become more lively the interest in Ashes series hasn receded.  Further since the number of ODI matches and Twenty/20 matches have gradually increased, the interest in Ashes series has further receded.

Answer 9

Answer 10

off course i m in india but i like ashes series very very much.

Answer 11

I watched the Ashes for the first time the last time it was held in England (can't remember which year i was). This was the first time it was broadcast in Barbados and the series was great. In the caribbean we love cricket so much as long as it shows(for free) we'll watch no matter who plays.

Answer 12

Yes I believe they do. It generates a lot of interest from anyone who truelly loves cricket.

Answer 13

The last Ashes was pretty boring.And the one in 2005 was the most interesting series i have ever seen.

Basically,good competition is needed.If the two teams are equally matches and putting up good fight then people will be interested as they were in 2005.

But when one team is completely dominating the other,then it becomes very boring.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Proberly not..But you know what,not many Aussie's care about the IPL,so i'd say it's proberly even.
