[MundaPakistani]

Great performance from Kumar! It was an excellent decision to play him as a specialist batsman.

[Chandan]

Terrific feat here for Kumar Sangakkara and that shows how he has maximised his purple patch and has extracted more that others did when they hit their purple patch.

rubbish? you R foolish for not accepting it. Where was pansie ponting or others scoring when top bowlers were around? when top fast bowlers disappeared runs are coming for punter and kallis.

[Donny]

Mouni, you stated " nowadays, every tom, dick and harry are scoring runs at will." I demonstrated that's just not true. :regular_smile:

[King]

I don't quite believe in these ratings but Sangakkara deserves to be at the top. The top 3 are well worth remaining at the top. It's an interesting stand off between Kallis and Sanga. They both are churning runs at will. Laxman has been quite consistent for India although he's not scoring big hundreds.

ICC Rankings : Ponting back at Number 1, Kumble in top 5 Ganguly also breaks into the top 20. Akhtar sliding out of the top 10.

[Cricketics]

what is kumble's best ever rank?? nice to see kumble in top 5 Steyn has been impressive..

[Donny]

AK was #2 in October '95 with 895 points.

[Chandan]

What are the team's ranking after this test series, Shwetabh? Did we gain any points after defeating Pak?

[The Outsider]

We are level with South Africa at 3, Chandan. If we had won 2-0 we would have been level at 2 with England.

[Chandan]

We are level with South Africa at 3' date=' Chandan. If we had won 2-0 we would have been level at 2 with England.[/quote'] Hmmm.. not good. Had we won 2-0 in England, we might have been clear number 2!! Anyway, India just can't afford to drop guard at the moment.

I expect us to be number 2 at least for a few days after the England-Sri Lanka series. But rankings aside, it's clear that India is the number 2 team in the world at the moment.

[Cricketics]

england just doesn't deserve to be no. 2 test team.. they are still riding their luck of being on no. 2 since that ashes 05..

[dial_100]

Can someone tell me what will be the points for Aus and Ind for the following possible results. Ind vs Aus 1 - 2 1 - 1 1 - 0 0 - 0 0 - 1 0 - 2

[poori_meri]

Shoaib Akhtar has always been in top 10. Sign of a gr8 fast fast bowler
