New Zealand have rarely rated higher in world cricket than at present; they're within a point of the top of the official world ratings, and second (though more distant from first place) in mine. This summer, they're touring England; and they've had the better of a rain-affected draw in the season's first test. This has a minor impact only on my ratings; but it certainly won't be easy for England to beat them when they meet again next week. After that, they stay in England, to meet India in the inaugaral world test cricket championship final.
- India 266

- South Africa 60
- Sri Lanka 20
- West Indies 18
