Latest Update (1 September 2010):
England completed a 3-1 home test series victory over Pakistan, but that had little effect on the International Cricket (Test) ratings, where England remain fourth and Pakistan sixth. India remain No. 1, ahead of Australia who they are set to meet in a two test series in October.
Sri Lanka won their home ODI triangular tournament, with a 74-run win over India in the final. That moved Sri Lanka up three places to third in the latest International Cricket (ODI) ratings, while India fell two places to sixth. New Zealand, who failed to qualify for the final, fell two places to fourth. Australia remain clearly on top of the ratings.
New Zealand remain clearly on top of the International Rugby ratings after their 29-22 Tri Nations win over second-ranked South Africa in Soweto. With that win, New Zealand also claimed the 2010 Tri Nations trophy. South Africa remain second in the ratings after their 44-31 Tri Nations win over third-ranked Australia in Pretoria.
The first friendlies after the World Cup had little effect at the top, with world champions Spain remaining on top of the International Soccer ratings after their 1-1 away draw with 11th-ranked Mexico. The only change in the top ten was Croatia slipping one place to seventh, behind England, after Croatia's 1-1 away draw with Slovakia (and England's 2-1 win over Hungary). The biggest gains over the last month were made by Greece (up 14 places to 27th), Jamaica (up 11 to 52nd), and Botswana (up 10 to 100th). The biggest falls were made by Oman (down 14 places to 75th), Algeria (down 13 to 72nd), and Lithuania (down 10 to 82nd).
