If you asked me who was No.1 test nation I can tell you straight away its the Saffs. As for 20 20 I suspect its someone like Bangladesh

They are No8, just ahead of Australia.

I agree. Have not got a clue who is No.1 and don't care. It's not really cricket.

OK Chris I'll bite

The Aussies lost it's last series to Pakistan, then drew the series against the West Indies, drew the series against India, then drew the series against the Saffs

On the other hand the Bangers drew a series against the Netherlands, beat Scotland, and won a series against Ireland.

Now you see why this isn't a sport?

Re: Australia's cricketing prowess

Looks like the Aussie are starting to think about T20 making the semis and all that. Can't say the same for England - must be focussing on the Ashes.

Re: Australia's cricketing prowess

Not a big fan of T20 (I'm happy with the No.1 test ranking and to leave all of the others to fight over the scraps

) but well done to the West Indies. They are integral to world cricket, have brought so much to the game over the decades and they really needed this.
