Aussies seeded top in Champs Trophy

AFP, London
World champions Australia have been confirmed as top seeds for the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy in England next September.
The groupings for the 12-team tournament will be based on the official One Day International ratings on December 1 and with no further matches before this date, Australia (136) and South Africa (118) cannot be caught.
South Africa will be seeded No 2.
India's defeat at the hands of Australia on Tuesday means they will have a rating of 105 when the groupings are announced.
This currently puts India in seventh place and heading for a meeting with South Africa but as all five of their closest rivals still have matches left to play, they could yet move up or down the table.
Sri Lanka are now third on 107 after beating England comprehensively on Tuesday but are only four points ahead of eighth-placed New Zealand.
Sri Lanka have two more matches to play against England while New Zealand will play in Pakistan before the final ratings are drawn up on December 1.
West Indies the sixth team along with Sri Lanka, Pakistan, England, India and New Zealand looking for one of the two remaining seedings have a five-match series in Zimbabwe.
Matches in the ICC Champions Trophy will be played at three venues in England from September 10 to 25.
The tournament schedule will be drawn up once the groupings have been finalised.
Groupings will be based on the ICC ODI Championship standings on December 1 as follows:
Pool 1 Pool 2 Pool 3 Pool 4
1 2 3 4
8 7 6 5
