ICC Ranking is all flawed.. how can India be No.1 when they have not won the recent series againist S.Africa nor won the away series against them.. Same against Australia.. The criteria is very simple. .First beat every team home and away at least once and then say No.1

Then who according to you is no. 1 Bruno? You say The criteria is very simple. .First beat every team home and away at least once and then say No.1. That means nobody is no. 1. correct? Australia lost their last series in india 0-2 and also the ashes series against England. SA have failed to win the series against india so they are also not no. 1. Of course you will agree that Aus were never no. 1. Steve waugh's team cannot be called no. 1 because they couldn't defeat india in either india (Ganguly 's team defeated them 2-1) or in australia (Waugh team could only draw with ganguly's india 1-1) So Waugh's aussie was also not no. 1. Agreed?

Very well said Sunil,
I think you are spot on with your observations. Not once but 3 times before Aussies has lost in India, 2001 series, 1998 series and 1996 series they lost very badly to India. Once by fluke they one in India in 2004 by 2-1 margin that too courtesy Nagpur curator where CA had paid heavily to Nagpur cricket Association. Also, if you see all the 3 world cups they won it with the support of ICC wherein they would beat all the opponents in the finals easily. Something fishy about those wins unlike WI wins in the Worldcups earlier... Aussies are cheats and CA is a bigger cheat and a Big mouth...

Even when australia lost the series in india, they were raked number 1. India drew the border-gavaskar series in 2007, but australia were raked no.1. Truth is that india have performed well for past 1 and half year. thats it. Now you see the history of no.1 countries
