When England last toured India, they won the first test, only to go down to four successively more decisive defeats. Now playing a very different style of cricket, history may nonetheless be repeating itself: they won the first test, lost a competitive second test, and have been slaughtered in the third. Their victory in the first game briefly saw them go top of my world ratings; but the boot is on the other foot now. Meanwhile, New Zealand have completed a 2-0 home win against their visitors South Africa. My world ratings now look like this:
- Australia 240
- India 223 +18
- England 212 -17
- New Zealand 163 +15
- South Africa 122 -15
- Pakistan 81
- Sri Lanka -2
- West Indies -20
- Bangladesh -117
- Zimbabwe -277
- Afghanistan -313
- Ireland -349
