Well in a game that produced a no result due to rain, there were still some positives that came out of this game. Michael Bevan hit his second consecutive half century with a superb 56 off 56 balls. Though Damien Martyn looks to have regained some form with a good 42 off 40 balls.

Bevan has gone up from No.6 to No.3 in the batting rankings and Brad Haddin has gone up from No.12 to No.9 in the batting rankings.

The bowling rankings stay of course the same as Australia never bowled a ball to the Zimbabwean batsmen due to the rain.

Terrific all-round performance by Australia to go one up after the first VB Series final. Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie & Ian Harvey bowled very well. Adam Gilchrist smashed 38 off just 20 balls . Ricky Ponting played very well for his 88 off only 80 balls. Mathew Hayden compiled a well made 50 from 91 balls. Agarkar & Badani's fifties were the only highlights for India.

Adam Gilchrist has a big lead in the batting rankings with Ricky Ponting moving into the top three after his 88 (80).

In the bowling rankings, Brad Williams still has a 103 point lead over Brett Lee with Andy Symonds still holding down 3rd place.

Australia had absolutely thrashed India to win the VB Series What a great display of batting, bowling & fielding by Australia. India's performance was nothing short of pathetic.

Mathew Hayden hit a very good 126 (122). Damien Martyn looked like he returned to form with a well made 67 (76). Andy Symonds just tore the Indian bowling to pieces with 66 off just 39 balls Michael Clarke also chipped in with 33 (20).

Brett Lee bowled well and took three catches, one which included brilliant catch in leg gully.

In the batting rankings, Mathew Hayden has closed the gap to Adam Gilchrist to 112 points. In the bowling rankings, Brad Williams still has a 103 point lead over Brett Lee.

Now those there are some good rankings

[marc71178]

I disagree.

How can one who is clearly out of form be ranked number 1?

Thanks.

Martyn has played really well in the past two tests.

Well the thing is that Australia only have played their 3rd Test match of the year.

Martyn had his up and downs with form during the VB Series & the ODI Series against Sri Lanka and of course I have separate Test and ODI rankings.

Martyn is No.1 in Test Batting Rankings (with a 42 point lead), though he is No.6 in ODI Batting Rankings (477 behind No.1, Adam Gilchrist).
