The ever spicy thing that one would find across the globe is the Indo Pak cricket match. What does not happen here? From friendship gesture to hatred and from yelling to pelting objects on the opposite supporters and cold bloodlessness at the end of the match which over team wins does not matter but there is ever boiling of the hot blood.
If these are put to the Ashes series nothing is there save some clap, clap, clap...

Honestly sopeaking, I think, it's the Ashes which is hotter than the India-Pak bi-lateral series. Not even bi-lateral. The Indo-Pak clash is watched with great interest even in those countries which have nothing to do with any particular country. But the Ashes is one of its kind. This is the oldest rivalry in the cricketing history. I haven't seen such a kind of crowd for Tests as in Ashes. As you say, according to the survey, you are right and so is the survey that the Indo-Pak series still holds that knock out punch. And my inclination is too towards this seris instead of the Ashes.

oh man..this cannot be predicted very tough
but according to me it's always indo-pak and will always be indo-pak and i have reasons for it.
both in Indo-Pak and in Ashes the team effort that is put by both the sides is amazing. Each and every single player give their 200% to fight for their country but what gives an edge to Indo-Pak is the madness that spectators bring in.
The audience is the main factor why Indo-Pak always hold an edge and we don't have any particular cup to make us agitated and excited. Every single match of India against Pakistan is a delight to watch. Even if it's a practice match, or for a cup or a tri-series or world cup or any single match, every single indian and pakistani have goosebumps.
But in Eng-Aus case it's always seen in Ashes. Nobody can ever forget the T-20 world cup when India won. Man i am waiting that the two nations will collide again.
Cheers fir INDIA
