gakgupta Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 If we go with rankings, it might show SA but with current form and ability to play all-around the world, I would say England. although NZ is not far behind...SA -- it's no longer the same team. Young Indian team beat them 3-0AUSTRALIA - Pussy when it comes to playing in sub-continent. I seriously doubt if they beat Bangladesh in sub-continent conditionsNZ -- drawn a series against Pak in UAE (That's not easy)England -- has been doing decent in all conditions. Definitely not invincible but can win against any team in any conditions on its dayINDIA, PAK - has to prove outside sub-continent.
amiret Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 India. We have a match-winning combination right now. aggressive captain , great spinner, good pacers, stable opening pair ....Outside Asia we may not dominate but we will still be intensely competitive. adi B 1

After England it would be new zealand have been the best travellers this year .Test traveling has become a joke. Aus trash everyone at home.Get trashed outside by England. India did show some fighting in Aus though it wasn't enough by a large margin. But now that the team is permanently in kholi's hands we can expect better results abroad.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 India. We have a match-winning combination right now. aggressive captain , great spinner, good pacers, stable opening pair ....Outside Asia we may not dominate but we will still be intensely competitive.agree yes India can srsly be one of the best test sides.We do have few concerns but that everyone hasWat xcites me is an aggresive captain n He has the attack as wellEvery reason to xcited about this Indian teamN we have the team also for every conditionSa- wud like to c them since i feel steyn will now struggle with his fitness, amla struggling, New openers. Lack of spinnerAus- Well Johnson gone, starc unfit, Ability to play spin n swing under question? i doubt Eng n Nz still looks quite okPak Sl west indies well dont have the bastman to perform under difficult conditions
Adi_91 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I would say that there is no clear no 1 team. Aus are clearly the best ODI side right now.In tests, there are many contenders. India are looking strong as well and I expect India to have a good year in 2016.
adi B Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The Aussie commentators did say during the aus tour last year that this indian team with the talent tbey have would be ripe and hot to handle after 2 years ,I think we'll become decent travellers again in the away leg in 2017.Right now England,nzl,India are decent sides ,no test team is great right now express bowling 1
gakgupta Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 agree. After England it would be new zealand have been the best travellers this year .Test traveling has become a joke. Aus trash everyone at home.Get trashed outside by England. India did show some fighting in Aus though it wasn't enough by a large margin. But now that the team is permanently in kholi's hands we can expect better results abroad. dont forget Australia lost to pak 3-0 or 4-0 express bowling 1
G_B_ Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 lets wait for sa v england to finishthen we can have this convo
beautifulgame Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 England did lose the last 2 overseas tours pretty badly as well5-0 white wash in Ashes and lost 2-0 to Pakistan last month .Even drew with West Indies 1-1Its really hard to predict any team as best at the moment .Although i can see India Australia and England being the top 3 and fighting out for top spot for next few years adi B and express bowling 2
vvvslaxman Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 No.1 position has become a curse NZ is a decent side adi B 1
paragkn Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 TOP 3 in In Tests : New ZealandEnglandSouth Africa TOP 3 in ODIs :South AfricaIndiaAustralia kosingh 1
kosingh Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Go with NZ. They've lost only one test match in the last 15 matches.And they've lost only one test match at home since Jan 2011.
gakgupta Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 TOP 3 in In Tests : New ZealandEnglandSouth Africa TOP 3 in ODIs :South AfricaIndiaAustraliaagree...but put india instaed of SA for test matches....Also, i see SA regressing even more since ABD might retire pretty soon
Rightarmfast Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Why is ABD retiring? Specially now that he is coming to ATG category?
kosingh Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Why is ABD retiring? Specially now that he is coming to ATG category?Because he's unhappy with South African race based selections.He genuinely seems like a guy who doesn't care for records. Rightarmfast 1
Adi_91 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Why is ABD retiring? Specially now that he is coming to ATG category?Has he declared it officially?
