Hussey makes light of ICC rankings

Australian batsman Mike Hussey has rejected the ICC's Test rankings, which place his team at fifth, saying that the Aussies are “definitely better than that and the system is not a true reflection of their form.”

Australia dropped to an all-time low of fifth after being blanked 0-2 in the just-concluded Test series against India but Hussey said the side does not deserve to be number five. “I don't think we're the fifth-best team in the world. I don't think that's a true reflection of our team, we're definitely better than that,” Hussey said.

“With the new Test championship coming in, that will probably give a better indication of where teams are at, and a better understanding of where teams are ranked.

“I don't think about being fifth-best team in the world, I don't necessarily agree with that,” he was quoted as saying by 'The Sydney Morning Herald'.
