Where does it say SA have given up the No. 1 spot? All my sources still have SA at No. 1 in test.

Unsurprisingly the West Indies have the top T20 spot. Well equal with Oz and Sri Lanka.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

I think India will go 1st when this series is over. SA will be 2nd if it finishes 2-1 and even lower if we lose or draw again

Australia will be 1st if they beat NZ 1-0 or better

1st April is the cutoff and we will then see who goes into the rest of 2016 as No.1

2016 is a pain as there is the world T20 and less test cricket. We play NZ and SL at home in the 2nd half but not sure about the 1st half

Looks like Hazlewood has figured out how to bowl in English conditions.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Shame his timing is a bit off. :lol:

Looks like another stroll for Aus, I hope the Kiwis make a better a fist of it in the second innings.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Yeah. Good practice for the next one. :)

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Well, Australia go number 1 apparently. That's in Tests and ODI's.

NZ didn't quite get the toss right, especially on these English wickets. Toss is always important in English conditions.

Great knock by McCullum for his 145 in the first innings, breaking the world record and all.

Cricket is the winner, South Africa 3rd :)

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

It's not just cricket...

But Wales doing pretty well against NZ in the Rugby, so far.

England vs Wallabies next at 7:30pm.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Good warm up for the Wallabies. Interesting to see what needs work after 8 months off.

Back on the topic of cricket, South Africa have choked again in the tri-nation ODI competition here in the West Indies - losing their last seven wickets for 41 runs against Australia. Hopeless!

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Back on the topic of cricket, Australia have choked again in the tri-nation ODI competition in the West Indies - after being 127/1 after 29 overs they could only manage 266 against the West Indies and lost comfortably. Hopeless!

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Yes, of course - although a charge of "choking" is normally applied to a chasing team. Pathetic, both times - and with more to come, I imagine.

The MCG fails to make it to the top 5. Too big, lacks atmosphere.
