All around 15 years, there was huge categorize to Test cricket. Australia was the undisputed kings and the rest of the world was left to clash it out for the slight placings. In little over 12 months, three different sides have held the No.1 ranking, with the earlier two incumbents conceding their crowns in humble fashion.

India were whitewashed 4-0 in England, with Andrew Strauss's men then suffering a turbulent year at the top which was ended with defeat by the impressive South Africa. The way in which the South Africa hammered England optional the rightful kings now sit on the throne. A record of only one series defeat in 20 and the fact they are unbeaten away since 2006 give the statistics to prove their status.
