South Africa Move Ahead of India in Test Rankings

[Dhondy]

Yes, it had to happen. In case, you did not already know it, SA are on a charge. This was their 4th consecutive series victory. They beat both India and Pakistan 2-1 at home, vanquished Pakistan 1-0 away, and have now thumped NZ 2-0. They are now within sniffing distance of England, and with both England and India facing difficult series, and SA facing WI at home, the old order, where they were only a notch below the Australia for many years following their re-entry, appears set to be restored. With batsmen like Kallis, and bowlers like Steyn, Ntini, Morkel and Nel at their disposal, riches that allow them to drop an old warhorse like Pollock, who would grudge them their station? 1. Australia 25 3534 141 2. England 36 3979 111 3. South Africa 33 3603 109 4. India 29 3107 107 5. Sri Lanka 25 2673 107 6. Pakistan 29 2779 96 7. New Zealand 18 1646 91 8. West Indies 24 1717 72 9. Bangladesh 18 65 4

South Africa are an over rated side. Always get thumped in the subcontinent, get pushed around by the Aussies regularly, and recently even by England. Their jump up the table is because of the scheduling which gave them 3 series at home, and one against a Pakistan team in disarray. Watch them move down before the end of the season.
