Updated ICC Test Rankings

[SaintsSupporter]

Following South Africa's 313 loss to Sri Lanka, the ICC Test Rankings stand as:

1. Australia - 129
2. England - 107
3. Pakistan - 105
4. India - 104
5. Sri Lanka - 103
6. South Africa - 102
7. New Zealand - 94
8. West Indies - 76
9. Zimbabwe - 51
10. Bangladesh - 1

South Africa's decline has come since Pollock's sacking as captain. Although Smith is a good cricketer, his captaincy has nothing theoretical about it, and nothing to beat your opponents with.

Pakistan third?

That has got to be a joke.

Just above the West Indies is more like it.

[red+black]

my biggest gripe is NZ at 7th. they were far higher (and deservedly so imho) before they changed the system.

[year of the roo]

It's a stupid system, this is how it should be:

1 - Australia
2 - India
3 - New Zealand
4 - England
5 - Sth Africa
6 - Pakistan
7 - Sri Lanka
8 - West Indies
9 - Zimbabwe
10 - Bangers & Mash

[red+black]

9 - Zimbabwe
10 - Bangers & Mash
I'd go

9 - Zimbos
10 - Kenyos
11 - Bangos

Absolutely agree. NZ are 3rd IMO, and far higher than 7th for sure.

[SaintsSupporter]

New Zealand are great at ODI level, but mediocre at Tests. I understand people have seen them bat in the recent ODI's and such, but they were beaten 3-0 by England. I'd say 5th or 6th for NZ, but no higher.

how low have international cricket standards fallen that the lame ass brits are second.

perhaps aussies world dominance for over a decade has been detrimental to the world sport????

That said, I can't wait till we cream those upstart poser pommes again and hopefully grind another generation of brit cricketers into the dust! :D

[Tenacious Dees]

Who are these 'lame ass brits' you speak of? I believe you'll find there is only one test playing team from the British Isles - England oddly enough, playing under the flag of St. George and not the Union Jack.

If you're going to be an arrogant SOB in the future at the very least pretend you have a smidgen of intelligence to back it up.

If you're going to rant and rave, you really should know that the ECB (who field the side commonly known as England) is the "England and Wales Cricket Board". So perhaps you'd better have a good hard think yourself before you post...

[Tenacious Dees]

OK wise guy since when did England and Wales constitute Britain? If it did do you not think the team would be called Britain? Moron :rolleyes:

[Tenacious Dees]

wtf? what the hell is your point - other than stating the blindingly obvious?

[SaintsSupporter]

What's yours? You're saying the team is not called Britain...who cares? It's a term people use.

[Andrew Mc]

Didn't say it was. Someone from England can still quite correctly be called a "lame ass brit" however - it makes no difference that the team they play for is only from England/Wales. Someone from England/Wales is still a "lame ass brit". Well, I guess that's not right either, with the multitude of other nationalities that they usually have playing for them.

[dan warna]

ok then...

how about phoney croney lame ass Englanders and welshies who continuously get squished by the aussies and haven't got a single englishman or welshman in their lame ass over rated hack test side who played in a winning test series against the aussies and will again cop a whipping because they are so pathetic...

as for the britain and england thing, I think your detracting from the fact they are still lame ass losers compared to australia.

and its only recently they were even englanders being formerly merely the MCC team gathered from the hack running around in your lame ass TCCB sides.

I look forward to try to watching your pathetic trundlers getting smacked around the various cricket grounds next season by our batsmen, and then watching the revolving door outside your dressing rooms as your pathetic jokes called batsmen out for less than double figures time and time again. You capacity to boost your leadless batsmen from the ranks of South Africa and Zimbabwe look to be over, and the raiding of Australia for bowlers not good enoough to make our state sides, yet time and time again prove to be better than your pie tossing trundlers is amazing.

as for the jokes you call spinners, there are guys in vic grade cricket who can land a ball with greater accuracy than your lame ass nude ball tossers

India, pakistan, NZ and even Sri Lanka have put up more of a fight against Aus than your brits.

Great Britain? England? send more to get slaughtered by Australia!

PS won anything at the olympics yet?

LOSER
