Looks like among top 10 players, Bond,Sachin,Attpattu and Sarwan were biggest gainer from worldcup.
4 Aussies in the top 10 batting and 3 Aussies in the top bowling. That tells how dominant they are. Sad to see only one Pakistani in each of those categories :(

is this rating official. I mean is it recognized by ICC. Many sites have their own ratings. how good are they.
[/QUOTE]
No it is not recognized by ICC.And yes there are many other rankings but this is considered best by most of fans and critics.

I am surprised that there is only one Indian in the top ten batting wise.
[/QUOTE]
Others have provided flashes of excitement but long enough...Dravid has been more consistent but at lower strike rates. But I think he has been as necessary as Sachin for the Indian achievements
So much for the world's best batting lineup.
[/QUOTE]
Now, that's plain bs. Sehwag 82 against Lee and McGrath! Yuvraj's defiant knocks! Saurav's nonchalant slaps! Dravid's wall of resistance! Khaif's dutiful attentive batting! ...come on ...when have you seem this many in one team?
(Ofcourse they only needed one Ponting but that's to do with Indian bowling also)

I agree with that. Dravid is the backbone of the India batting line up. Many people at first were writing him of saying he was not one day material. But he has silenced his critics by letting his bat do the talking. The best part for Indians in all this is that he keeps the wickets too and that gives India the option to play an extra specialist bowler or batsmen wahtever needed. I think that would be the fututr of ODI's. Wicket keepers will have to be specialist batsmen.
On a similar not I think Pakistan can use the same approach. we have almost a replica of Dravid in Mohammad Wasim. Very similar style of batting, plays with a very straight and best of all he can leep wickets too as he did on a couple of occasions.
Just go up and check there are 3 in top 20. where as you have only 1.
By they way did you see status of World’s best bolwing lineup
1 in top 10 and 2 in top 20. Infect Indians are much better than you.. 4 in top 20.
We have batsmen at 1 ,11 and 14.
You have batsmen at 10.
We have bowler ar 10,12,14,15
You have bowler at 7,20.
LM,
Pakistan can do it with Taufeeq Uamr also.But then you have a Wicket keeper captain.
Just go up and check there are 3 in top 20. where as you have only 1.

I was talking about top 10, and we all know Pakistanis doesn't have good batsman at this moment, why bring in Pakistan everytime, we are talking about the great Indian batsman.

Yeah, Australia is the best bowling lineup in the world and they have quite a few guys on the top.
Once again no one is talking about Pakistan.
I wonder why you people bring in Pakistan anytime someone criticizes India, take some criticizim seriously, 2 wrongs don't make it right.
So in conclusion Aussies at this moment not only have the best team overal but the best batting and best bowling in the world.
