Congratulations to India on achieving the No. 1 ranking in Test cricket!

[joly]

England is ranked well below pakistan in tests,hence Pakistan winning the series against Eng 3-2 will not be enough,they will have to win some more before moving to No 1,however on current batting form,Pakistan is a better team than any of the teams around in tests

 

[The_Odd_One]

Congratz to India but Pakistan and England are better test teams.

 

[TalhaSyed]

I think there is a plan in the works for that Test Championship, it has been delayed but will definitely happen and it will be in England to!

Yea its been in the pipeline for years.

Initailly the final was meant to be held next year but now I think it's been pushed back for the 78th time and will be held in 2062

 

[Tusker]

India will remain near top of rankings until they actually grow a pair of balls and stop hiding from playing pakistan, only time they wanted to play test cricket against us was in mid 2000s when they knew we were a pretty average side. Now india would get hammered in UAE or india.

Played quite regularly from 1999 to 2007 ... pretty sure those sides were much better than the current one. I know for a fact that there were similar peurile bravado hurled around calling India as lacking guts to play Pakistan ... Really ?? How did that Jeet-Lo-Dill Series turn out ? I recall 2 matches being won by an Inngs.

 

[ahaseeb]

Congrats to Team India. For me Test ranking is more significant than LOI. It would be interesting to see Pakistan vs India at a Neutral ground preferebly england

The chance of rain in Port of Spain is falling as the days go by. A few days ago it was about 80% for all 5 match days, now it is 50%, 80%, 50%, 20% and 20%. Hope that India doesn't lose its #1 ranking because of rain.

India are now ranked the no.1 team in the world after the rankings up date!

After a stunning effort from Sri lanka to beat Australia, India are now the no.1 team in the world.

It was hard work! here's a list of India's Test Series results over the last two years

West Indies in India Test Series

2013/14 India 2-0 (2)

India in South Africa Test Series

2013/14 South Africa 1-0 (2)

India in New Zealand Test Series

2013/14 New Zealand 1-0 (2)

India in England

2014 England 3-1 (5)

India in Australia

2014/15 Australia 2-0 (4)

India in Bangladesh Test Match

2015 drawn 0-0 (1)

India in Sri Lanka Test Series

2015 India 2-1 (3)

South Africa in India

2015/16 India 3-0 (4)

Damn. This record is nothing to be proud of for India. They lost 4 overseas series. How the hell they get #1 ranking with this bad record?

 

[srh]

Just curious - Has Pakistan ever ranked no.1 team in tests?

I hope Pakistan never becomes no. 1 with this type of record OP mentioned of India. This must be very embarrassing for Indian fans

 

[Slog]

Also were we "Afraid" to Play Pak IN Pak back in 1989 and 1997 ?

Don't know but considering you lost to us in India and India's terrible record outside India then it is safe to assume Pak would have won(lost 2 matches and won 1 in India against us in 99)

 

[Slog]

Damn. This record is nothing to be proud of for India. They lost 4 overseas series. How the hell they get #1 ranking with this bad record?

They beat #1 SA which gets them a lot of points as they were #5 then

If West Indies beats India this last match they will get a lot of points and India will drop to 3rd I think sue to just one match

 

[blue_champion]

I don't care people dissecting how we got to NO1 as long as we are No 1

We didn't steal or cheat....we played,won and we got it

Haterz gonna Hate

On Topic if rain plays spoil sport and the next test is a draw,Pak will be No.1 and you won't see Indian fans cry foul about that...it is what it is

 

[blue_champion]

Just FYI....This series was a draw You guys played well but let's not get ahead of ourselves....good achievement that's about it

Pak has not won/drew a series in Aus and SA in like ever...India been there done that.

Pak haven't won a series against England since 1996-India Last won a series in 2007

Of course it will feel like this if you are a Pakistani supporter. And that's what makes this no 1 ranking even sweeter.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Here is some more fat in the fire. Lots of Pakistan's points were acquired against Bangladesh!!!

 

[Adijazz1706]

Aren't rankings only updated officially at series end?

 

[90MPH]

Hopefully WI finally turn up then and set the record straight.

But then again they are hopeless at this format.

 

[Indiafan]

According to Kohli, being short term no 1 because some other team won or lost should not count. Its a small incentive but not the big picture. He said to be true no 1, you have to have sustained wins everywhere over 3-4 years. - This is on Ten Sports interview

 

[Ab Fan]

The deserving ones are those who stay there for at least an year or two. India were deservingly no.1 between 2009-11 and then England took away the no.1 spot and then SA stayed there with Aus hitting the top spot in btw.

Anyway, Pakistan is comparatively doing much better and they r in a fantastic position at the moment. Good luck to Pakistan in their upcoming qualifying matches against Nepal, Netherlands and Ireland.

So much relief around the cricketing world after this win from AUS, reminded me of days in Mid 2000s when Ind did well against that ATG Aus team, people used to appreciate and Booed Aussies all over the World. Times have changed

I like how Hasan is joining in the bants ) usually he's always wondering about across the border, he's the pigeon which got brainwashed but then managed to escape

Very true RD, even on a rank turner he couldn't do the job; it seems to me he has taken a lot of lucky wickets which benefited from India winning the toss, on top of that he does have a clean action but intentionally chucks here and there, too bad it didn't help him here

) This humiliation which AUS have caused is the equivalent of losing some games to Hong Kong, even BD can beat them at home and you know what Pak did to them in the UAE; this 1 win over India in India is like winning 10 Test matches for a touring team in the subcontinent which isn't SL or Pak. Quiet frankly the ICC should question India's test status at the next meeting, besides Afghanistan and Ireland have shown some promise so no issue in relegating a team which is starting to get back to minnow status the other teams will be great investments.

O'Keefe isn't even a real cricketer, he's just someone they happened to select when there were no options; he is the AUS Janitor, given the dearth of good spin options they were like "fancy a bowl mate" and he was like why not! India have been exposed and lead to minnow status like decline by a Janitor )

This team can't defeat an AUS side that just cannot play in the subcontinent, for an alleged no.1 ranked team this is the most humiliating stat of all; even in the past this overrated Indian team were destroyed by England, they've only even been no.1 by name only.

Difference being that we did not lose on doctored pitches that we pressured the curator to prepare. Also, we haven't lost a single series in the UAE ever since it became our permanent home while you guys are heading to your second series defeat if O'Keefe gets his way.

India is the most disgraceful team to ever hold the no.1 ranking, in fact it is an insult to have a ranking when you award them the no.1, they've never earned the mace on any level at any point in time and tend to get a big bump in rating due to various home wins and even then, they do not maintain an undefeated streak in Test Series as we saw when England beat them and now AUS who are basically a minnow in asia have defeated them in a Test

 

[Square Drive]

For God's sake, at least whitewash a team (on your doctored pitches) that FREAKING SL just whopped 3-0 in their den not too long ago!

The truth is very bitter, on a level people give that team waaaaaay tooo much credit. I have provided intricate, in depth and insightful facts into why India are overrated:

E.g:

England beat India in India

Asia minnow AUS win a Test match vs India in India

My friend, why are people not able to comprehend this information I have enlightened the masses with? especially when this no.1 rank has been advocated on the basis of their home dominance and don't even get me started on their away run but folk get defensive when the TRUTH has been spoken

 

[Bilal7]

Yes, along with the Australia and New Zealand tours.

We were pretty equal over there so no point.

You can bring up stats about my team from 3 years back, but when I do the same for you lot from a series 5 years ago, you got all hurt huh?

Don't talk about England because you lot got your backs handed the last few times you went there. We not only whooped them at home, but actually went in their den and won 2 Tests.

Stop hyping up your sig and changing the topic, when the thread is clearly about Test cricket. Typical Indian thing to do. If you really want to bring in other formats, you want me to remind you of our H2H record?

Do you not understand the concept of recent wins ? The NZ series in 2014 was the last one by NZ to UAE. I know its hard for you but give a honest try.

So in your la la land only wins against Eng decide which is a better team ?

Despite this loss we have still a far better record vs Aus in the last 10 yrs:

There are rules for trolling here ? ) You pretend as though the loss to WI did not happen and then you expect people to follow rules

A person standing without knickers is still worth more than an Indian troll.

Recent? 2014 is recent but 2012 is not? The double standards are actually too obvious here.

LOL you're the one who brought up England. Do you have the memory of a goldfish, or are you just incompetent?

Now bringing up records in Australia just to make your joke of a cricket team look less hideous. )

The WI loss happened but so did your loss against Australia in your own den, that too against O'Keefe.

Dodging, changing the subject etc. That's when you know you're arguing with an Indian.

Any WI fans here .... that should make their day .... comparing WI to Aus LMAO ) or maybe you think you lost to WI while playing in Mars
