Love the long form, but yesterday was sport at it's most exhilarating. It's sort of unfair to compare a series which hasn't happened yet to one which has and was incredible at the end.

If you'd asked me before = ashes
Now = The ashes won't be as good as that

Maybe a better question is, what was better the 2019 world cup or the 2005 ashes win

Not really, Ashes means any series not just 2019, same with the World Cup.

A home World Cup, on free-to-air TV, won in that fashion, watched by millions (instead of the hundreds of thousands on Sky), inspiring a whole new generation. No competition.

Any other situation, the Ashes every day of the week.

Ha just googled to see what people thought was most important and this was top of the search results. Good old NSC.

Surely Ashes as it's proper cricket rather than 50-overs?
