Title: If we win the Ashes... Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, August 12, 2005, 15:56:36 will we be the best test side in the world? I'm not sure how the stats work in cricket but I believe we were second after beating South Africa?

There's a lot of cricket to be played yet, I was just curious 8) Are the rankings for test cricket done in the same manner as FIFA use? Title: If we win the Ashes...

Title: If we win the Ashes... Post by: Spud on Friday, August 12, 2005, 16:38:55 When i saw the recent rankings the other day i couldnt believe India were so close to us, ok they're a decent side but what have they done recently?.

Title: If we win the Ashes... Post by: Johno on Friday, August 12, 2005, 17:18:27 i doubt we would go top if we win the ashes, but if we have a good winter, then possibly.

Post by: blinkpip on Friday, August 12, 2005, 17:43:07 The only way we wouldve be top of the Test rankings if we beat Aussies 5-0.
Sadly they won the first one. So no. Title: If we win the Ashes... Post by: DMR on Friday, August 12, 2005, 21:41:18 Quote from: "sonicyouth" We'll thrash India and Pakistan in the winter anyway.

Ok. Pakistan are weird some days they are awesome and bowl a team out for 100 then get 400 runs then they collapse and bowl awfully and lose. India pushed Australia to the wire last winter. They have great batsmen like Rahul Dravid who slaughtered us when they were here a few summers ago, VVS Laxman is awesome and who can forget Sachin Tendulkar. There problem is bowling teams out but in India they are good. People like Harbajan Singh and Anil Kumble are awesome on the sub-continent pitches. England are a good team but playing India in India will be very tight. Should beat the Pakistanis tho. Title: If we win the Ashes...
