3 test matches have just been completed. New Zealand (at home) were holding their own against a strong South African team when rain washed out the match (a perrenial hazard when games are scheduled in the South Island); Sri Lanka saw off Bangldesh; and most notably, India came from behind to win their second test against Australia, an important result following their wholly unexpected thrashing in the first test. The result of all this is to consolidate India's position as number one team.
India 181 +16
South Africa 135 -5
Australia 126 -15
New Zealand 60 +5
Sri Lanka 26 +8
England 25
Pakistan 2
West Indies -58
Bangladesh -172 -8
Zimbabwe -325
In all 3 series, another round of matches start this week, and there's then one more test in both of India and New Zealand. These games will essentially mark the end of the test cricket year. There's then a gap - of a little under a month - before the next round of matches start, when Pakistan travel to the West Indies at the end of April.
