It wasn’t only thanks to rain (as usual 1992  ) they even got 4 months

Even a clock which is not working shows correct time twice in 24 hours!

India need to win in England if they want legitimacy.

 

While we all laugh at England they have won home and away against India, Australia and South Africa in the last decade.

 

India I feel have morphed from being a home only force to being a force home and away outside Aus, SA and England. This is a combo of us improving and likes of WI SL Zim etc becoming poor.

all this is bogus. There were no no 1 system from 1952 lol. If they consider the period after the points and ranking system were considered India will be below Australia.

 

WI never knew they were ranked no 1 they just smashed em all, pak lol 4 months it was more like 1-2 days, all their 4 months was before rankings got introduced.

its retro, historical, 

 

meaning much of the period shown for all nations except India and SA are before ranking got actually introduced, in case of Eng probably most of it and pak all of it except 1-2 days.
