I think the ranking system is a positive for test cricket.....not only for the team and fans who have the pleasure of being crowned No.1 but for the opposition teams as well, when your coming up against the world ranked No.1 team you are forced to lift in order to be competitive and if likes of Pakistan and now Sri-Lanka can turn the tables on the No.1 team the honour and excitment of winning is doubled.
To be honest I think it is a better system of quality then a 6 week world cup where form, injuries play vital parts in winning or losing....I'm sure the people of Sth.Africa are glued to their t.v sets in this current series where as they wouldn't give a toss if it wasn't for the rankings system......
