After the Ashes 2009 defeat, Australia have slipped 3 positions in ICC test rankings table. This is the first time they have lost the no.1 test position since the system of rankings in 2003 had started. Australia are now no.4 in test and no.3 in ODI. South Africa is no.1 in both test and ODI cricket rankings. Sri Lanka ranks no.2 in test followed by India. Despite the Ashes win, England is in no.5 position.
After Australia lost their no.1 position this year, they were still in no.1 in test though they lost series continuously. It was due to their superb form before 2 years. Not just the test defeat but also the lefting out of older matches have dropped the Aussies 9 points below the Proteas.
