If we can't agree on facts there is no point arguing at all. I don't care about history, whether it is 2014 or 2000. This is a thread about current standings. Just this week India played Afghanistan and barely scraped by with a win. Just this week Pakistan played Afghanistan and almost lost. Just this week Afghanistan crushed both Lanka and Bangladesh. How do we go from this evidence that is before us to argue that currently, there is daylight between India, Pakistan and Afghanistan? None of this is to say that India is not the best ODI side in Asia, and probably the world. I think it is. But it is also a best ODI side which lost the CT cup, and was, in the end, definitely the second best team in that tournament, having also lost to Lanka in the league stages.
