India drops two places in ODI table

India8217;s failure to reach the final of the tri-series has resulted in Rahul Dravid8217;s side dropping two places to fifth position in the LG ICC ODI Championship table.

India has the same number of points as Pakistan and New Zealand but now sits below both sides in a tightly packed section of that table when the ratings are re-calculated to three decimal places. India has the chance to regain that lost ground soon enough, with the ICC Champions Trophy starting on October 7 and that event, with 21 matches in 30 days, should ensure plenty more movement in the LG ICC ODI Championship table.

After a poor tournament by his standards, India8217;s MS Dhoni slips down to eighth position. Dhoni8217;s stumble is good news for England8217;s Kevin Pietersen and Graeme Smith of South Africa who each move up one place to sixth and seventh respectively.
