We have shown we are No 1 in the world

[Sachin=GOD]

africans will come back hard at us specially morne and steyn and mind you .. we need to win the next game to prove to ourselves n the world that we r world no 1..if we loose that match .. it would mean africans took this match lightly and hence we won. we need to win the next match to prove that we r no 1 . but yes i agree we r doing well and we have good hopes that we can win the next match too......only if we can handle hot steyn and Morkel better.. i can bet that tsostbe will be murdered by indian batsmen if he is plays the next test.

next match will be a DRAW.

Good on him as he earlier said, "If they're really the number 1 team they'll have to prove themselves here"

^He was forced to do so by a remarkable effort by our team :isalute: Even i was surprised TBH after we just managed 205 in the 1st innings, but boy didn't we bowl well, we just guillotined them. :woot:

Poeple just need to face up that we are the best in the world. The way some people act it is as if India put themselves at the top of rankings by some dodgy magical manipulations of ICC and bought the ranking or something. Thats the beauty of rankings as they put aside prejudice, BS, lack of objectivity, jealousy and biasness. They are an objective statistical analysis which put to bed prejuidcial whims of others. Thus us being number 1 is a FACT and not mere whims and fancies of some. The rankings are based on mathmetical formula taking in to account performances over a rolling period stretching back to Aug 2007. A heavier weight is given to results against sides in higher positions and to performances in last 2 years. A rating above 120 means a CONSISTENTLY strong side(India is rated 129). So suck it up world, we are there by right and fact. If you wonna be number 1 then simple. Win loads and loads of games and hope India does not, and do not rely on shooting mouth of that best, just STFU and win games like we do. Our rating of 129 shows a consistently strong side and that we win loads of games. We are best in the world and that is not based on opinion or spin, just statistical FACT. Deal with it aussies, saffies , england and co. India is best side in the world. FACT!

[putrevus]

any Idea on what was highest ratings ever achieved any side , it has to be the Aussies , Indians are at 129 now.

[King Tendulkar]

In late 2007 Aussies reached a massive 143 rating. Not sure what record is though

[King Tendulkar]

We shall see' date=' I am confident Aussies are ready to challenge you for that # 1 spot.[/quote'] Really:giggle:
