In case of similar win percentage, I guess the cricket.org bot sorts the teams alphabetically, which is why Australia got on top, even though the it should have been Pakistan. This is one of those database loopholes, and someone ought to let the cricket.org people know about this, as they should take a secondary sort (when the win rates are same) according to the number of wins as they do not count draws, so the win rate would always come out the same.

Look at the figures, Pakistan won all of its matches and Australia got one of its match withdraw.
On the basis of this, I don't think Australia deserves to be on the top of Pakistan.
Its wonderful to be ranked highly in the all time test results table, but much of that success was during the era of Imran Khan, who alone carried the team at times and later found Akram and co to make it that bit easier.
Stats can lie, and at this moment for all our talent we are not performing as we should. If we took results over the last 5 years it would ve very interesting to see where we stand. Our consistant problem remains our unreliable batting which folds nder pressure and relies on Inzi and Youhana, or Anwar for the runs. That the 3 rarely play togethr is a major blow to us, coupled with the fact that they never fire at the same time.
No doubt about our talent though, as Australia's brilliant players retire or fall off, watch for us and England to rise rapidly to the top of the tree. :)

Still India played 60+ matches more than us, and still won way less matches... Btw, einstien, Drawing is not considered losing, and you should perhaps think of something else to vindicate your teams pathetic position. Pakistan is in top three, and will be the second best soon, so learn to live with that.
Interesting fact
India has only beaten Pakistan in India 4 times out of 14 matches OUCH!
India has only beaten Pakistan in Pakistan 3 times in 15 matches OUCH!
How many times India - Pakistan have played each other in a World cup Match and what has been the result every time ? :) **
[/QUOTE]
India definately!
But who has the better overall record in the world cup? :)
Who has reached the final 2 of 3 times in world cup? :)
Who is the most recent winner in final? :)
Lets ignore the miserable record of India, all the 300+ test matches and ODIs it plays, and lets just put those 3 matches that India played against Pakistan as the official record of India...
