Proteas win 2008/2009 ODI Championship

[HypoThesis]

On the current schedule of ODIs, no other side can match South Africa and with the Proteas themselves not playing any ODIs before April 1, they will not be budging from the current rating they enjoy.

Mathematically after the last Aus vs NZ ODI there's no chance of anyone overtaking SA...even if Aus wins the last game in the series with NZ and even if NZ win their series with the WI 5-0

Current standings...

1. South Africa 125
2. Australia 124
3. India 120
4. New Zealand 114
5. Pakistan 111
6. England 108
7. Sri Lanka 105
8. West Indies 91
9. Bangladesh 46
10. Zimbabwe 23
11. Ireland 19
12. Kenya 0

Yup, but this time we're at least in a position to keep it
