Do you see the No.1 ODI team status for Australia changing anytime soon?

Question

I think this is the beginning of another extended run at the top for the Aussies.

Oops getting a bit carried away I know but hey not many of our own countrymen even gave the Aussie boys an outside chance of winning this series. Indians were all confident of thrashing us after the injuries surfaced.

Congrats for the series win. You guys kept hanging on, didn't gave up and performed when it really mattered.

I gotta hand it to you, after India got a 2-1 lead, I was feeling really cocky. But you guys bounced back a big time.

Even with so many sudden injury blows you managed to out perform us. That too in our own backyard.

Simply magnificent!

It was a very entertaining series with some truly unforgettable moments.

Australia are going to stay on top of the ODI rankings for a while.

Answer 2

Depend. Is there a status above 1st?

I can't see Australia falling from 1st anytime soon. Look at all these gun youngsters coming through and then add the experience and skill of senior players like Ponting, Hussey, Clarke, Haddin, Lee, Johnson etc... + a good allrounder in Watson...

There may have been some sort of rebuilding phase and we lost a tonne of great plaers...but i can't complain with the current squad we have!!

Answer 3

As I said in your last question - you're not as strong as you were, but still the team to beat. I predict you'll spend most of the time at #1 but without the kind of dominance you have had in recent years.
MBTM is really clutching at straws now, isn't he!

Answer 4

THey are champs and they prove it again. They are World champions, CT champions. and they showed that how and y they are crown champions and remain No.1 for long.. i really impress with this aus motivation with 9 injured players..

Answer 5

Nope. Unless the Windies can use some Pollard power to win against us in the upcoming ODI series, we'll remain on the top till we win the 2011 WC.

=D

Answer 6

I can't see that happening at the moment, but I don't want to fall into the trap of over confidence as some others have recently about their team.

Answer 7

18 wins 5 losses and 1 NR in the last 24 matches suggest that Australia may well be heading in that direction.

Answer 8

Nopes!
Not until everyone in the team is injured...Haha!:D

Answer 9

Since the difference in the points between No. 1 to 3 is not substantial, the rating/ranking can change any time.

Answer 10

never can any 1 over take the aussies

Answer 11

Planted another seed of doubt about how other teams should approach playing us.

Answer 12

TumTum =D

Answer 13

they deserve to be no.1

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

Yeah same. Pretty good that we won considering we had heaps of players out

Answer 16

Roger, your Turban is slipping. The Aussies have more then 1 batsmen.

Sachin can hold his head high while the other go back to bookmaking or Taxi driving.
