Rankings in flux
Last night’s victory over Australia has put the ODI rankings in flux. “Australia drop to third” is the headline on Cricinfo (“India rise to second” is the headline for the Times of India). That’s quite a turn around from the story before the series: Opportunity for Australia to reclaim top spot.
Three games to play in the series and it could be that the rankings shift around even more.
Aus win remaining 3:
Aus 125 (2nd spot)
NZ 113 (4th)
Aus win 2, NZ win 1 (“unthinkable”!):
Aus 122 (2nd or 3rd, depending on Ind v. SL)
NZ 116 (4th)
Aus win 1, NZ win 2:
Aus 119 (3rd, just)
NZ 119 (4th)
NZ win 3:
NZ 122 (2nd or 3rd, depending in Ind v. SL)
Aus 117 (4th)

And Ind play NZ after this.. so some more churning in the ODI rankings. I am glad its not a one-horse show anymore.
