Winning the world cup would mean you beat the world’s best, beating Australia, you still beat the world’s best but it doesn’t alter your status in the ICC rankings.

I think winning in Australia and being number one test side is more tougher and prestigious than the world cup.world cup comes second.Like for the English, I think there is nothing like the Ashes.World Cup is over rated and is a marketing hype,winning test matches is way more tougher and more prestigious.

test series, tests are cricket, one dayers are a waste of time.

winning a 5 test series in aussie would be the hardest thing to acheive in cricket today. i remember new zealand came so close to winning a series in aussie a few years ago but some desperate batting from steve waugh and some terrible umpiring saved their bacon and it ending up being a drawn series.
cant say i agree with kookee about every minute of every game of the ashes being competitive, the last ashes was one sided slaughter. the 2005 ashes was like that though
and a 5 test series between aussie and south africa would be tougher than the ashes

I would have to agree with you
winning a test series in australia will be exteremly diffucult for India but possible
fora couple of reasons
1. Australia would have advantage of having their crowd support them
2. India will be facing what i think is one or the best cricket team
If india did win a test series in Australia all of India would go wild in complete celebration, but they would do the same if they won a World Cup.
But the fact of beating australia which is one of India’s toughest rivals.

As an England fan i would prefer to see England win The Ashes rather than win the World Cup. The Ashes is the most prestigiuos competition in cricket.
What’s tougher ??
Good Question. Playing the Aussies 5 times in a row and beating them is an unbelieveable feat, Australia are the best team in the world there’s no denying that, to beat Australia in there home patch you either have to be a great team or you won’t be able to win
That’s the difference between the 2 for me
In a world cup you could get a favourable draw, you could play mediocare teams most of the way through the tournament, and then beat the best in the Semi’s and Final.
In The Ashes every minute of every match is important, every minute of every match is competitive, and sadly the same thing can’t be said about the World Cup
