Every team has their one bogey team. This does not mean we cannot be number one if we beat everyone else but them. If they too were beating everyone else and then we lost to them then they would rightfully be number one, but they have not, and therefore are not!

Obviously teams want the no.1 spot for as long as possible. Chopping and changing no.1 rankings suggests that no team is really better than everyone else. But the Aussies have certaintly proved that for many years now.
So we shall see what happens over the next year or so with the one dayers... i dont think Punter & Co. will lose the test ranking though.

what's strange is that those that watch rugby and cricket probably rated the all blacks when they were number one spot despite them not having won the world cup since 87.
the rankings take into account the quality of opposition. So it is meant to "penalise" you when you play against the weaker teams.
That being said obviously a WC win would do wonders for SA. But that is still sometime away so we can only make do with what is available at this point. The No 1 ICC ranking.
