India test ranking after WI tests..
« on: May 09, 2006, 09:40:40 AM »
I noticed the same thing as Prem..

from http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc/test/future.html

How can we drop in points for winning  series with a 2 test margin. The last time we were there Windies won the series 2-1..this series should replace that.

Any thoughts?

that's coz according to where we are ranked now and where WI is ranked now, the difference between the sides is such that a 2-1 win for India is a much better result for WI than it should be .. ideally, as per the rankings, we should beat them by a larger margin ...

If ICC rankings were to mean anything we should withdraw. Except for a 4-0 romp all other results will hurt us.
