no_quiero,

for arguement's sake I have said that okay, SA scores over IND in test matches. that is 1-0 to SA. SA's test record recently is unsurpassed. After the Sydney fiasco, I have stopped crying over umpiring decisions. There too, a year before the SA conquest, IND could have (probably should have) handed the Aussies their first home series defeat in 12 years. So, for you to cry foul over petty umpiring decisions, which could have gone either way, and then to proclaim that the errors somehow affected the series outcome (ENG vs IND) is an obivious overstatement.

And yes the year SA beat IND 2-1 in SA, SA went down 3-0 to Aussies in SA. Times have changed buddy. Both teams' fortunes have changed since. For you to compare the two based on those results is not very smart. IND in SA would be some contest so I say bring it on. But that won't happen.

The earliest the two teams shall meet will probably be in Eng for the T20s.

But I'd still say, currently SA is on top. But for how long? I see the Indian juggernaught over taking them in the nearest future.    

But you claim "Cricket- Get ready for South African Domination. "

Cricket has 2 other forms as well. You have correctly shown us SA's Test prowess. Can u shed some light on their ODIs and T20s? How are they going to dominate on ODIs and T20s? If you are to use the same yard stick to predict the future (by looking at their past record (recent)), there should be serious questions regarding their ODI and T20 teams. Please don't dig up numbers as a chuck of the ODI victories have come again, aginst, Bangladesh and Kenya.

You cry out loud that sheeps can be lions on home turf. IND bt Aus in Aus in ODIs. They won the T20 World Cup in SA. On top of that bt ENG 5-0 in ODI at home. The same ENG have bt SA 4-0 in ENG. IND won the series in SRILANKA. They were the finalist in the remaining two triangular tournaments held that year. By your standard, IND is the next ODI team to beat.

They are the current T20 world champs, and since T20 is still finding its feet and not many internationals are being played in the format, suffice for me to say that until dethrowned, IND has to be numero uno, what say you?

So SA No.1 Test Team

IND No 1 ODI and T20 team. So, who is the overall top Team? India 2-1.

But who will be the future's top team? IND or AUS? or SA? Only time can tell. Let the teams play and we will know for sure. Right now let us play the analysts, the pundits, but do we really know?
