@No-Quarter I'm referring to the fact that the boks are still #1 in Rugby despite playing no tests recently, while the BCs are #1 in cricket because none of the others have played tests recently
Let us have our moment and kindly get lost. Thanks.

And I'm saying I don't give a shit 😎
Anyway it'll be interesting to see how the lower ranked sides go in Australia this season.

I'm actually interested to see what the effect of India/Australia is on the rankings.

That's the big question. How well we do at home makes the series against Oz in Oz so frustrating. The way the BCs fucked that up conjured up horrific memories of crap teams from days gone by.
Pakistan have a better test squad than the Windies ( who doesn't ? ) but I still reckon anything less than 2-0 will be a letdown.

Wicketkeeper in conversation for best ever
I read that BJ has now moved into the top 10 for test dismissals.
While this WI side isn't great by their own standards, they beat England (at home) a few months ago.

I think we're first equal, presumably with one of these 2 "lower ranked" sides.

If Australia convincingly beat India in series, and NZ whitewashes Pakistan in our 2 test series, then NZ will be ranked 2, and Australia 1, and play in the final of the WTC in June/July.
I don't know what the measure of "convincingly beat " actually is though.
Apparently NZ must whitewash. -

Yep, I can remember when I'd have just been happy with a 1-0 series win over Zimbabwe or Bangladesh...

Apparently NZ must whitewash.That's fair enough.....an standard Aussie test team of the last 20 years probably is about as good as our best team ever. Makes sense.

And if India win the series I suppose they pick up more points for being away?

Dunno. But anything other than permutation above mean Aus and India are 1 and 2, and meet in final.

Aus giving India a hiding would be worth it just to see the Bobs and Vagene crew on the Wisden FB page have a collective meltdown.

Shit yeah - especially if all the DRS don't go their way. And then there will be a bombardment of "Next Sachin Tendulkar" offerings from players who love a dirt pitch in Outer Shittigar.

@NTA I'm assuming it will be the same as this West Indies series in that all the Umpires will be home umpires?
they are rolling Daryl Hair and Peter Parker out to guarantee victory

40th anniversary of the underarm incident next year.....in terms of overreaction compared to what actually happened I genuinely struggle to think of anything that compares in the sporting world but I still may as well get on the bandwagon and hurl abuse at @NTA for the simple fact he’s Australian.

So are we number one ranked at the moment?
That’s 2020 for ya...
