To me 20-20 is just a joke. Its good fun to watch and play (and I played 20 20 as a youth cricketer so its nothing new)
But it cant be compared to test cricket.
The Ashes is the most important tour for any Australian or English cricketer. It is one of the greatest competitions in sport.
The fact that winning and not losing a cricket match are very different things are part of what makes it one of the great games. To me - watching a dogged number 10 and 11 desperately trying to preserve their wickets as the fielders circle in around then is far more exciting than watching world class cricketers wildly slog and flail at the ball like schoolboys while wearing multicoloured pyjama's
