Anyway, as I've said every single time the matter comes-up, I couldn't care a hoot about ICC rankings, be they player or team. The old Test Championship, the straightforward one where you earned two points for a series victory, one for a draw and nothing else, was of some interest, but nothing else is.
England being poor is something of interest and disappointment (and ditto England being good is of interest and pleasing); England being in any form of ranking position, be it 1st or 8th, is of complete irrelevance.

Whether you agree with the calculations of the system of not, I can't imagine you'd disagree too much with England being ranked towards the bottomAll posts so far bear the

I'd be more worried about your umpiring than about England's troubles, Mr Harper.Thoughts?
Haa, don't lets be unfair now..One decent bowler, worst wicketkeeper in history and can't even find 5 Test class batsman................I think the current team are overachieving.
I agree, Btw, I notice there's a little bit of orange mould growing on your avatarRankings might not be perfect, but they do give a general indication of where the team stands in terms of the rest of the world.
Having given him the avatar, I will take that as a compliment.I agree, Btw, I notice there's a little bit of orange mould growing on your avatar

The barmy army do their best to ensure alot of people don't mind seeing England lose a few tests.other anti-England-to-the-maximum-possible-extent £$%@wits out there, so it's possible that this isn't him.
Corrected.Probably a fair reflection. Currently in world cricket it seems we have three pretty good teams (India, South Africa and Australia) followed by 5 rather average teams. The actual order doesn't particularly matter.
Certainly there isn't currently a side as good as Australia of the early 00s or WI of the early 80s, but likewise there isn't a team around at the moment as poor as early 00s West Indies or late-80s England.
