*Official* - Road to India in England 2011

Does anyone know what the permutations are about world rankings depending on the outcome of this series? Could England take the number 1 ranking and if so what will they need to do to achieve it?

 

[GIMH]

ICC haven't updated the rankings predictor yet. I guess they will after the Windies-India series.

Anything but a 3-0 win seems to actually lose India points in the rankings.

If they do win 3-0, it leaves a difference of 12 ranking points between the sides.

If anyone can work it out based off that, go for it.

Icc rankings watch

Unless India loses a test match in WI in any of the rest 2 matches, England will have to beat India 4-0 to get no.1 rankings.If they beat 3-0,then they will be behind by 1 or 2 or 3 point depending upon how many matches India wins in WI in the remaining 2 test matches.

Strangle Stuart Broad to death while he's asleep.

Assuming that India beat west inides 2-0, Even if they lose 3-0 against England, they'll still be 1 point ahead of england (india 122, england 121)

Actually things will turn out different after the yearly rankings update that they do around July-aug I think.

I think the main question we need to ask is whether there will be an ICC conspiracy, led by non-Asian umpires, to sabotage their bus ride? Let's hope not, as they've been through so much already in the Carribbean. Poor India.

Do you think there'll be a decision review system if the bus is running late?

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, but Sat Nav estimations of what time they would have arrived but for the traffic won't be used

Indeed. Just asking the bus driver what he reckons is a far better system.

 

[GIMH]

The Sat Nav might be four seconds off though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!

 

[Uppercut]

It's all okay though, we can watch the bus ride on TV and pull a more accurate estimated journey time out of our arses.

 

[GotSpin]

Wait, so instead of advanced navigation systems the Indian bus will be using old out-dated maps?

They should probably just walk, tbh. There's a slight chance the bus might break down, and we can't have that.

Why should the Indian's walk? Shouldn't make the umpire's job easier.
