india have played a tremendous 41 matches. And with the pak series coming up. Wow, our players have played the most. And England have probably played the most in a calendar year I reckon.

41 freaking games........... BCCI people are shameless .. ...

PAK have an excellent chance to gain some points against a highly ranked S African team. I am surprised how well NZ is doing that 3 nil win over AUS must have really helped. p.s why do they update the ODI rankings after each match yet for tests they wait till the series is over?

I actually agree with that. A test series is played more with an eye on the series situation than than ODI series. Often you see teams go for a draw if leading when normally they wouldn't etc. You never see decision making during an ODI with the series situation in mind. But you see that in tests all the time.

btw, Pakistan need to play more matches!

Yeah that makes sense.
