This but the first 2 swapped. Ever since I was a kid the World Cup was THE thing in cricket. Ashes have been mostly one-sided Aussie victories for the last 35 years.
Reckon the World Cup is losing it's status though. The downfall of ODIs and T20s diluting white ball cricket will reduce the lustre. IMO 2023 will be the last one to have that feel about it.

Only speaking for myself, but imo, India losing the WC final felt way worse than losing series away in Eng/Aus, but winning test series there (especially Aus) felt better than India winning the WC. So, I can understand people ranking the top 2 in any order. A lot of it is contextual though. Every Indian test fans was convinced winning in Australia was never happening in our lifetimes, which is what made 2019 (to a lesser extent) and 2021 (due to the manner of it happening) special. 2023 WC final was depressing but India have a realistic shot at winning the tournament basically every time.

There wouldn’t be international cricket if it wasn’t for the Ashes. It’s the most important and storied trophy in the sport.

Tbf they give out trophies for everything else at the end of every test in India, they may as well add this.

Actually agree. Ashes is the Greatest bilateral among all the sports.

You would be happier to win against Aus away than winning against NZ at home. But will you be more sad losing to Aus away (about to happen) than losing to NZ at home (already happened)? I question this home/away and strong/weak team distinction. I understand arch rival priority though like AUS vs ENG or IND vs PAK.

Yeah. That's why it's hard to rank alongside other trophies. It's a league of its own.
Ashes
Away test series win against strong opponents (identities will vary over time)
Home series win against strong opponents
Away test series win against weaker opponents
Home test series win against weaker opponents (not so challenging perhaps, but losing to a weak team would have a very bad feel about it)
WTC (would be much higher if it had a more rigorous format)
ODI World Cup
T20 World Cup
Champions Triphy
Away test series win against strong opponents (identities will vary over time)
Home series win against strong opponents
Away test series win against weaker opponents
Home test series win against weaker opponents (not so challenging perhaps, but losing to a weak team would have a very bad feel about it)

I think it's different when you have already won a WC before or not.

I think the Q is about how much you would value a win for your country in each tournament, and the Ashes is top of that pile for me.
I greatly valued our massive, Trumpian landslide over NZ - and the world! - in the 2019 World Cup, but I still enjoy Ashes wins more. Partly because, as you've said, England have been second best to the Aussies for much of the time since 1989.
