Maundy Gregory Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 SO? I suppose in your world the past always determines the future? Get some perspective please. I thought it was a fair enough observation. If England haven't won in India since 1984 and therefore wont win next time they tour, why will India win in Aus and reclaim the # ranking if they're never won in Aus? I agree, look at the present and the future, rather than the past. However, you need to do this for all teams, not just where it suits an online argument Link to comment
Rahul Dravid Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Sounds like your batsmen when fielding' date=' the bowlers have to run around for the exalted threesome:--D[/quote'] LOOOOOOL gud one :hysterical: Link to comment
jairamesh Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Congrats to new number 1: South Africa, English poop it after only 6 mos. As things stand at the latest, Saffers move to number 1 on 116 points whilst England dropped to number 2 on 114 points. England held on to their number 1 for a mighty 6 months :hehe: Yeah Ian Botham, new era of dominance is on its way just that Herath never got the memo :hysterical: Congrats to Saffers, the new number 1:clap: Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 India is playing all the test matches at home for next 2 years.So I won't be surprise if we regain the no.1 position in that span & to England:hehe: Link to comment
Lord Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 wat if England lose next test too?how many points they end up Link to comment
saneindian Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If Eng win the next test, they would lead SA by a few decimal points and keep their no 1 rank. Link to comment
Precambrian Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 :hysterical: 6 month long ERA :hysterical: Link to comment
BERGKAMP Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 lets be honest, none of the current teams are even fit to lace the boots of the dominant teams of the 70s 80s 90s 00s. number 1 tag just tells you who is best out of the worst bunch of test teams for 40 years. Link to comment
Precambrian Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What happens if they're killed by SL in the next match aswell? Will they drop below us? that'll be :cantstop: Link to comment
panther Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 there still no1 untill they lose or draw the second test Link to comment
Lord Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What happens if they're killed by SL in the next match aswell? Will they drop below us? that'll be :cantstop: no.they'll still be no.2. n they arent gonna lose to WI.so they'll stay ahead until they tour us Link to comment
ravishingravi Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So, anyone who has gary Kirsten becomes No.1. Link to comment
jairamesh Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What happens if they're killed by SL in the next match aswell? Will they drop below us? that'll be :cantstop: Well if they fail to win their next match vs SL, manage only a 1-0 win vs WIndies, and loose to Saffers by 0-2, then by the time they come to India they will be no.4 (and India will be 3rd):hysterical: Anything worse than the above they will be no.5, below the pakis :hysterical::hysterical: Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 lets be honest, none of the current teams are even fit to lace the boots of the dominant teams of the 70s 80s 90s 00s. number 1 tag just tells you who is best out of the worst bunch of test teams for 40 years. Forget Australia or WI, these teams are not even close to SA of late 90s to mid 2000s. Link to comment

Well we aren't in the 70s or 80s. We have what we have. And who is to say in that period the others (in the bunch) were any good? India were absolutely hopeless abroad, Pakis cheated to win, South Africa were banned, SL didn't play Test cricket, NZ were NZ. Anyways I do rate the Aussie side of the 00s the best to date, above West Indies anyday who had an easy ride in the 80s tbh. Link to comment
Sachinism Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Number 1 status is cursed. Best just keep away Link to comment

Something which has potential to go on couple of pages at least w/o Sachin's support. Link to comment
skindia Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 South africa deserves to be number 1...They plays well in subcontinent also.. Link to comment
akshayxyz Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 South africa deserves to be number 1...They plays well in subcontinent also.. ++ They have shown more balanced performance in recent times. Link to comment
