The once mighty West Indies have been in a bad way for some years now, but had seemed on the verge of a rare series win in their tour of Sri Lanka: they'd won the first test, drawn the second and took a good first innings lead in the third. But a second innings batting collapse was to deny them, and Sri Lanka have drawn the series to stay above England in the world ratings.The two teams now move onto their next series: West Indies entertain Bangldesh, while Sri Lanka need to host the South Africans.
India 236
South Africa 227
Australia 166
New Zealand 144
Sri Lanka 77 +14
England 74
Pakistan 40
West Indies -11 +14
Bangladesh -73
Zimbabwe -260
Ireland -295
Afghanistan -325
In the official ratings, update only with the series' end, West Indies have benefitted from the drawn overall, and Sri Lanka have suffered a bit. In this list, Sri Lanka remain behind England; but the West Indies continue to trail Bangladesh, though they have a chance to change this in their forthcoming matches. Test cricket's recent debutants, Ireland and Afghanistan, haven't yet played enoigh cricket to get an official rating.
India 125
South Africa 112
Australia 106
New Zealand 102
England 97
Sri Lanka 91 -3
Pakistan 88
Bangladesh 75
West Indies 72 +5
Zimbabwe 2
