Post by: Johnny on January 30, 2012, 12:20:00 PM

Really binteresting graphic on the BBC website at the moement which shows:

a) Just how streets ahead Australia were from the rest during the last decade

b) How closely fought the top of the world rankings currently is (which cna only be good for cricket)

Not sure why Pakistan are omitted though???

A more interesting comparison would be to look at that Australian side against the other "great" sides of the past - Richards' West Indies, Bradman's Invincibles and the England side of the 50s.
