With the expected win in this test....

[The Outsider]

India will not only become the number 1 ranked test side, but will hold the series rubber against all countries except South Africa. Now that is quite something and hopefully if the test series goes ahead in a few months time, we will for the first time in our cricketing history hold the test rubber against all countries! B->

:yay::yay::yay: And we will be 2 points ahead of second ranked SA too which means that even if SA wins against England they will still be placed second maybe :yess:

[Show_stopper]

Pardon me but what does the phrase "holding Test rubber" mean?

[vvvslaxman]

I am going to keep my fingers crossed siince i watched how Hobart Test panned out towards the end. Sanga added 164 runs with last 2 batsmen.

^series win. We have won series (last) against all countries except South Africa (drew it) We won against Aussies (Home), Windies (away), Pakis (Home), SL (home), Bangladesh (away), England (home and away both), NZL (away)

[urbestfriend]

^^ Dont worry mate....We'll win if they play 1.5 sessions, we can still be able to achieve the target within 120-130.

lost the one before that , the drawn series is not a problem

[vvvslaxman]

India lost their last away series with Pak' date='SL,Aus,SA.[/quote'] I don't think they give more points for away series wins :giggle:. Australia and SA both lost their home series to each other. So it means zilch.

[chinnamama]

yes eagerly w8ing for indo-SA sereis

[vvvslaxman]

i think pakistan has won last indo-pak series

Nope. They toured India and lost. Should have lost by a bigger margin. But defensive captaincy didn't allow that.

[Show_stopper]

Thanks Kabira.

If SA beat UK 3-0 then they will have 126 points. :yay:

[Guest Gunner]

If SA beat UK 3-0 then they will have 126 points. :yay:

First UK doesn't play cricket. England does. Second, England are not going to lose 3-0 to SA.

[vvvslaxman]

If SA beat UK 3-0 then they will have 126 points. :yay:

Happy rooting for springboks :cantstop:

India lost their last away series with Pak' date='SL,Aus,SA.[/quote'] Hullo Celeste. Firstly, congratulations for choosing the top selling oral contraceptive pill on the market as your monicker. Secondly, may I point out that your side, the world beating Pakistan, unless they win this series against NZ, will not hold the away rubber against a single top eight side in the world. Nil, zilch, nada, zero. Oh, and here are the respective away records last time around. v Aus: India 1-2, Pak 0-3 v Eng: India 1-0, Pak 0-3 v SA: India 1-2, Pak 1-2 v SL: India 1-2, Pak 0-2 v WI: India 1-0, Pak 1-1 v NZ: India 1-0, Pak 1-1 (likely) Series Count (Win-Draw-Lose): India 3-0-3, Pak 0-2-4 Match Count (Win-Lose): India 6-6, Pak 3-12 I believe a second set of felicitations are due.

Happy rooting for springboks :cantstop:

It's going to be weird for me to be supporting England against South Africa for the sake of the rankings. I only lower myself to do that when they play Pakistan...

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Thank you for that doc. That really put a broad smile on my face.
