England made a bad start to their tour of South Africa, losing the first game. But they’ve come back with three convincing wins, and its South Africa who have finished the series wondering about their future directions. Other tourists have also been successful in Africa, with Sri Lanka defeating Zimbabwe in the first game of their two test series; but Zimbabwe have managed to draw the second game, having forged an advantage they were ultimately unable to convert into victory. My cricket world ratings now look like this:
India 259
Australia 220
England 195 +43
New Zealand 127
Sri Lanka 84 -9
Pakistan 78
South Africa 59 -43
West Indies -13
Bangladesh -126
Zimbabwe -242 +10
Afghanistan -303
Ireland -339
Recent changes seem to have spaced out the teams by wider margings. The official world ratings look like this::
India 120
Australia 108
England 105 +3
New Zealand 105
South Africa 98 -4
Sri Lanka 91 -1
Pakistan 85
West Indies 81
Bangladesh 60
Afghanistan 49
Zimbabwe 17 +1
Ireland 0
The next test cricket sees Bangladesh visit Pakistan in early February.
