In the Post Match Conference Dhoni said

"On the series : This is more important than the India Pakistan rivalry"

Even Tendulkar echoed the samething at the beginning of the series.....I wanted to know what Indians and Pakistanis think about these two rivalry?

i think India and Aus because u get to see good Cricket from both of them.....India vs Pakistan usually one sided game

I've felt that the Pakistan that plays India is a different Pakistan, and the India that plays us is a different one from the usual..

There's a certain spark, of that Indo-Pak rivalry, both the teams feel it. But wait till the Indians come to tour us, they would be INSHALLAH reminded of which rivalry is better.

TBH, India is taking us too lightly. Sure we atm do sound pathetic, but Pakistan - I've felt - is a totally different team when they get down against the Indians

yeh rivalry wagera sab bakwaas hai pak india matches dosre matches ki tarha hein..

At the moment, to be completely honest none of them seem as rivalries. Pakistan-India have been boring lately. And look at India-Australia played in front of empty crowds. Definitely not a rivalry.

The crowd was certainly disapointing.....I expected more turn around than this one.....I guess 20-20 has certainly impacted the crowd for test matches....But that doesn't make this rivalry any less.....They are playing for a trophy thats is being named from the 2 legends on each side...and all the conterversy and the history between these 2 teams and the standard of cricket being played between these 2 teams defnitly makes this as a great rivalry

Jaisa stadium nagpur mein tha waise delhi mein hota toh full packed hota.

I think the crowd for the Pakistan-India series will be really good. The reason is because Pakistan has been starved of top class cricket so Im sure everyone is eager to go and watch.

But desi Kiwis and Australians also have Chappell-Hadlee trophy which is also named after two legends. I dont know if that helps make it a rivalry.

Dude what are you talking about? In my opinion Delhi is the best stadium in India currently. After the upgrades they did to it, I admit I really like it way more than any other Indian stadium.

That was a good match even though we lost . Our batsmen failed it for us.

Well I dont think any ground in Indian main centres is big enough lol.

Well.. The Aussies would give India far more competition than Pakistan will.. (I think, I hope I'm proved wrong though) so it would probably be more entertaining for the Indians to watch Ind vs Aus matches atm..
But I still voted for Pak vs Ind.. For me, I'll always feel worse losing against India than any other team.

From what i have observed from past serieses is that Pakistan always raise their game level against India.Sometimes on good days when they even play against Australia they raise their game level to compete Australia.Other day if Pakistan is playing against Ireland, then they go to Ireland poor level of cricket and compete on that level so thats why they lose.One thing about Pak team is that they can beat the best team on good day and lose from worse team on the bad day.But nobody can said that India will win series easily

Neither ...

Australia and England rigtht now is the biggest Rivalry ...
