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?

Dont bloody jinx us Sonic! There's a lot of cricket to be played yet, I was just curious Are the rankings for test cricket done in the same manner as FIFA use?

i doubt we would go top if we win the ashes, but if we have a good winter, then possibly.

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.
