SachDan Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 India has retained the No1 position in the ICC Test Championship table after the annual update and is now 11 ratings points clear of second placed South Africa. By virtue of earning a draw in the second Test against Sri Lanka, India has also ensured that it will still be on top of the table following the conclusion of the current series irrespective of how the third Test pans out. The result of Sri Lanka and India Test series will only reflect on the table at the end of the final Test on August 7 as the Test Championship can only be updated at the end of each series. The annual update of both the Reliance Mobile ICC Test and ODI Championship tables take place so that both lists continue to reflect recent form with older results being discarded. India has hugely benefited from the annual update as it has gained six ratings points to jump from 124 ratings points to 130, 11 ahead of its closest rival South Africa which had dropped one ratings point to 119. However, India's 11-point lead at the top will be short-lived following its failure to win its current series in Sri Lanka. If India wins the third Test, which starts at P Sara' Oval, Colombo, on Tuesday 3 August to draw the series at one-all, it will drop to 127 ratings points, while Sri Lanka will move into third place on 115 rating points, ahead of both Australia and England. If the Test is drawn, India will slip to 124 ratings points, just five points ahead of both South Africa and Sri Lanka. However, Kumar Sangakkara's side will be placed just below Graeme Smith's side when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point. Another defeat for India will not only see it plummet to 122 ratings points but will lift Sri Lanka to 121 ratings points and into second position on the Test Championship for only the second time since the current Test ranking system was introduced in 2003. Reliance Mobile ICC Test Championship table (after annual update on 30 July. In brackets is rating points before the annual update) 1. India 130 (124) 2. South Africa 119 (120) 3. Australia 113 (116) 4. England 111 (108) 5. Sri Lanka 111 (115) 6. Pakistan 84 (84) :hehe: 7. West Indies 79 (77) 8. New Zealand 78 (80) 9. Bangladesh 7 (9)
The Outsider Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 6 points for a draw?:hmmm: It's 3 points actually. 1-1 will see us slip to 127 from 130 anyways. And therein lies the challenge - to maintain the number 1 rank because the greater the difference between our points and the opponents the more important it gets to not slip up and win. Any slip up from the number 1 spot, specially against teams having much lower points, is going to be very costly.
kabira Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 ok so that thing is covered then. Now lets win the toss in next test and put runs on the board.

Lord Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 thanks Lanka for featherbed of a pitch that helped us stay no.1:haha:
Manny_Pacquiao Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 these rankings are obviously rigged in favour of india. india loses the first test, draws the 2nd and has no chance of winning the series. the very NEXT DAY, guys running the ranking system say they are going to change it in a way that will keep india top even if sri lanka win 2-0. the rankings are also sponsored by reliance, an INDIAN COMPANY. COINCIDENCE? i dont think so.
Sachin200* Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Do you not have any thing to do other than bring pakis in every freaking thread? Go and get laid ***got Y r u getting hurt r u cousin of Sania Mirza i want to get laid with Sania can u please speak to her.
