Australia has risen back to the top of world cricket to reclaim the world’s No.1 Test ranking for the first time in nearly five years

Australia captain Michael Clarke said it was a fair reward for the team’s performances after a summer where they inflicted not only a 5-0 whitewash on England – just the third Ashes whitewash in history – but beat previous world No.1 side South Africa 2-1 on their home soil.

  • Its the first time Australia has been the world No.1 Test team since August 2009
  • Test series are coming up against Pakistan, India, West Indies and England over the next 15 months

Australia rise to world No.1

Quick, someone wake up Mike!
