    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>10 Jan, Dubai (Cricketnmore). <\/strong>World champion Australia goes head to head with former World Cup winner India in a five-match ODI series in Perth&nbsp;on Tuesday&nbsp;with its number-one ranking in the&nbsp;ICC ODI Team Championship&nbsp;secured. Australia (127) leads second-ranked India (114) by 13 points and even if it loses all the five matches of the series, Australia will drop points but will still finish one point ahead of India. In contrast, if India loses all the five matches, then it will slip behind South Africa and will join fourth-ranked New Zealand on 111 points, but will be ranked third when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;To retain its second place, the 1983 and 2011 world champion needs to win at least one match of the series. Virat Kohli is the highest-ranked batsman from either side in second position. He trails number-one ranked AB de Villiers of South Africa by 96 points but is ahead of another South African, Hashim Amla, by 28 points. This means the India Test captain will be aiming to produce solid performances to not only consolidate his second position but to also narrow the gap with the top-ranked de Villiers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sixth-ranked MS Dhoni and seventh-ranked Shikhar Dhawan are separated by just 11 points, which means there can potentially be some changes in the middle of the pack depending on how these two batsmen perform. Batsmen sitting outside the top 10 and aiming for upward movement include Rohit Sharma (13th), Aaron Finch (14th), George Bailey (15th), Steven Smith (20th), David Warner (23rd), Ajinkya Rahane (28th) and James Faulkner (30th).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ashwin, who is the number-one ranked Test bowler, is in 10th&nbsp;position and will be aiming to return to the top five. However, to make it happen, he will have to produce exceptional performances as he trails South Africa&rsquo;s fifth-ranked Dale Steyn by 42 points.&nbsp;India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the next highest-ranked bowler to feature in the series. He is in 14th&nbsp;position and 43 points behind Ashwin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;In the ICC Player Rankings for ODI All-Rounders, fourth-ranked Maxwell and fifth-ranked Faulkner will be aiming to gain one place each as they have Sri Lanka&rsquo;s Tillakaratne Dilshan firmly within their sights. The list is headed by Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-series\/india-tour-of-australia-2016\/fixtures\">&nbsp; India vs Australia 2016 Series schedule:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">12 Jan&nbsp;&ndash; 1st&nbsp;ODI, Perth<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">15 Jan&nbsp;&ndash; 2nd&nbsp;ODI, Brisbane<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">17 Jan&nbsp;&ndash; 3rd&nbsp;ODI, Melbourne<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">20 Jan&nbsp;&ndash; 4th&nbsp;ODI, Canberra<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">23 Jan&nbsp;&ndash; 5th&nbsp;ODI, Sydney<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ICC ODI TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP (as on 10 January, before the start of Australia-India series)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">RANK TEAM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; POINTS<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Australia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 127<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; India&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 114<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; South Africa&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 112<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; New Zealand&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 111<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sri Lanka&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 104<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; England&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 101<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bangladesh&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 97<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pakistan&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 87<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; West Indies&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 86<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Afghanistan&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 47<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ireland&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 46<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zimbabwe&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 45<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ICC ODI PLAYER RANKINGS (as on 10 January, before the start of Australia-India series)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BATSMEN (top 10)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rank &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Player&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Team&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pts&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ave&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; HS Rating<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;AB de Villiers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SA&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 900 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;54.21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 902 v NZ at Auckland 2015<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Virat Kohli&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ind&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 804 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;50.60&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 886 v Ban at Fatullah 2014<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hashim Amla&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SA&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 776 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;52.70&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 901 v Eng at Trent Bridge 2012<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 4 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kane Williamson NZ&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 770 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;47.86&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 798 v SA at Centurion 2015<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; T.
