Re: The Cricket Thread
Yes, the posts stopped after SA had India in trouble on day 1 and no posts about England at all, going down 2-0 to Pakistan. Meanwhile someone beat someone else by over 200 runs in only losing 8 wickets for the match.

So then all teams would need to play exactly the same number of tests for it to be anything meaningful. How many tests should they all play for it to be "sufficient"? 3. Sure it will, just as the ebbs and flows of all sport over time have revealed. But at this point in time they are number 1 in the rankings and have been for a fairly long time. If you don't agree with rankings then take it up with the ICC, as they run them. |
