Well, I feel that it should happen, yes. Because I'd rather side with India, as I'm an Indian. And Australia's always on top, whatever the matter. Plus, the Indian cricket team is really doing good now. They've deafeated England recently, and pretty nicely, I should say. With Dhoni, Pathan and all, it shouldn't be much of a problem. But, there's one catch.
You see, if any other team performs really well in this time span, they might just overtake India (forget about Australia). And seeing that there's a lot of matches on at the moment, like South Africa vs. New Zealand, India's chase might just become a tiny bit more difficult. |

pAustralia's recent 2-1 series win over India has left Ricky
Ponting's team firmly entrenched at the top of the world's Test cricket standings./p pAustralia now holds a 19-point lead over second placed England while Pakistan's 1-1 home series result against Sri Lanka left it in third position./p pIndia and Pakistan remain four points behind England on 105 points after failing to win their recent home series./p pHowever, India will have an opportunity to climb the table in the forthcoming two-Test series against South Africa. A 2-0 win would put India level with England on 109 points./p pAustralia also heads the one-day standings and is followed by Sri Lanka./p pIndia can close the gap between it and Pakistan in the ICC One-Day International Championship table to three points if it wins the Jubilee Match between the sides in Kolkata on Saturday./p pAfter losing its most recent encounter against Pakistan during the ICC Champions' Trophy 2004, India goes into the match in seventh place with 102 points./p pA win would boost its rating to 103 points while Pakistan's rating will drop from 108 to 106 points./p pPakistan is currently in fourth place and must win the one-off match to hold on to that position. Defeat will see it drop below the West Indies and England to sixth./p pNew Zealand's 3-0 series whitewash over Bangladesh cemented its hold on third position, moving it to within two points of Sri Lanka with 117 points./p pIf New Zealand can win two of its three ODI matches against Australia next month it will climb to second place./p |

hi friends,
well its obviously tough to judge the best team in the world,but considering the circumstances,i would rather go for australia as they are playing quite well but i dont think they are the top team as they are performing quite badly in the champions trophy.moreover they dont have much talented players who can hold on for long and i would say that its sheer luck that they held on to the number one spot for such a long time. they will be displaced by teams like south africa,india and pakistan as these nations are playing really well and pose a big threat to australias chances of winning the world cup. ![]() |
