Which is bigger - The Ashes or BGT?
- Thread starter Test fan

Yeah but it's the hype that goes with it. You win an Ashes, especially if you perform in it, you're a demi-god in either country. If you win a Border-Gavaskar, the CW nerds will fawn over you, but the media/public not as much.
So yeah, if you're a guy who plays purely for the intrinsic 'what's the toughest assignment' then you're going series in India. But if you're human, you're going Ashes.
But you asked what do Australian fans think...
Yep, in terms of difficulty, no doubt. But as I said, if I'm given the option to win a BGT or an Ashes away win, and only one of those, I'm taking two months of sticking up the English media's ****ing arse.
Ha, missed that part. I'll support Australia over my cold, dead body.
Or if they're playing India
Yes i respect australian fan view . Its their choice to choose but from only cricket point of view BGT has surpass ashes .
No it hasn't

There's a lot of Aussies in London too, but their demographic generally don't have £175 spare for a day at the cricket!!
Having said that, a colleague of mine is going to the ODI today which is £120.....crazy!!
How much do the bar staff at Walkabout get paid these days?

Wait, aren’t you all members? What’s wrong with you guys?
the tix are presumably more expensive for the India series because England has a chance of winning it, unlike the Ashes.

The BG has only become interesting since 2018 when India got real fast bowlers tbf. Before that the home sides just won all the time.
The Ashes has been interesting since 1882, in that Australia has consistently dominated it with an occasional English interlude of decency.

About the same as the bar staff at North Bondi RSL tbh

Quite ironic given that England and India have both won away series in each other's country and Down Under since the Aussies experienced similar success.

They charge so much to go to the cricket there because the real value is it gets you away from the streets of England for a few hours
