Rankings and nudity?
If England manage a clean sweep in Pakistan they’ll move on to 122 points from their current position of 119.
England reduced the gap on Australia from 20 points to 8 by winning the Ashes, but in many ways securing a whitewash on the subcontinent is an equally demanding challenge. The points to be gained by doing so however are not as many, reflecting Pakistan as weaker opposition, but not the subcontinent as tougher terrain.
If Australia lose the remaining tests in the series against the WI, then England will overtake Australia as the number one test team, (and I will run through the streets of Auckland naked except for a Baggy Green covering my whotsits)

I reckon if they get a whitewash in the subcontinent they’d deserve it, but Australia losing, like you, can’t see it.

I note the ICC still haven’t added the World XI to the bottom of the table after the “offical” super test.

No arguments here.
