ODI table irks Saurav

AFP, New Delhi
Indian captain Saurav Ganguly slammed the latest one-day rankings on Friday after his team dropped to number eight despite reaching the World Cup final earlierthisyear.
"It's very strange," Ganguly told reporters. "I don't know how the International Cricket Council (ICC) derived its conclusions.
"I see no logic behind this."
The new rankings released were derived after removing the results of matches played more then two years ago.
India, which were earlier ranked fifth, now find themselves above only lowly Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and Kenya.
This despite the fact that in the last 12 months, Ganguly's men won the NatWest Series final in
England, shared the rain-hit Champions Trophy with hosts Sri Lanka and was in the World Cup final in South Africa.
"One just can't take these rankings seriously," Gangulysaid.
"I think we have played well over the last 12 months."
It's an argument the ICC refuses to buy.
"India's ranking reflects its inconsistent performances in recent times," an ICC statement said.
"India has performed well at the World Cup and Champions Trophy but lost its home series against the West Indies and struggled against NewZealand away."
World champions Australia extended their lead at the top of the table to 16 points, their tally of 134 points way ahead of second-placed South Africa's 118.
England and the West Indies, knocked out in the first round of the World Cup, shot up to number
three and four respectively. They are followed by New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
Pakistan, earlier ranked third, find themselves in seventh place. "It reflects their recent patchy form and the fact that a number of strong performances two years ago no longer count towards its rating," the ICC said.
