Amazulu is subtly pointing out that SA are #1 test nation and the Ashes is the runners-up prize but as India are 2 and England 3 (Australia 4) then a series between India and England is the runners-up prize. Get it?

But the number 1 test event is an Ashes series, no other test event gets close and great Ashes performances will be remembered for generations. Nobody will remember or care who the number1 test team was for x amount of months in 2013.

...not in Test cricket it ain't. India's attendances for test matches over the last 5 years have been terrible

Warner got a big tonne against the A version of the best team in the world.
That's big news. Australians don't get tonnes anymore.
