Good rankings! well they are if your the top of list. Being Bangladesh aint good when your minus an 129..
If the west-indies manage to win the test series in India what effect will that have on the ranking lists?.

if the west indies win they will move above new zealand in the original rankings and close the gap somewhat in the alternative. if india lose they will lose some points because i will scrubb of the points that india gained from beating the west indies at home last time.

if england lose to pakistan they will lose a few pints, but not all that many because they drew their last away series against pakistan i think. Same goes if england lose to SL (i think, i can't remeber of the top of my head) and the point to this ranking system is just to try out some different mthodologies and formulas to work out the test rankings, to see if they are as effective as the ICCs own.

England lost 2-0 in Pak last time.

srilanka have no chance of winning against any team tbh. The only way srilanka can win is if the others actually lose it for them. Now coming to the england pakistan series..... I believe pakistan will win by atleast 1 margin, and that would be enough for india to go on top, because then england will come down to 120. and what india need to do is win 3-0 against wi and 2-0 against australia and india will be at 121. Now that also depends on southafrica drawing with australia in this current series and not win by more than 2-0 against srilanka later in the year. So being fairly positive that all these results are going to happen india will be back to its no.1 postion.

in which case england's points will remain unchanged if they lose or improve if they win

and viruda, judging purely on how the current WI test is going, i really can't see that happening. i do agree with you about sri lanka though, they have no bowling and sooner rather than later, pakistan will overtake them in not just my rankings, but the ICC rankings aswell.
