India has won the tri-series between New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and India held in Sri Lanka.
That India were able to win this tri-series in Lanka, where Lanka is always a favorite regardless of the opposition, is creditable.
However, the ICC ranking proved once again its reputation as a nonsensical system as India became the number 1 team in the world after an early round win, was toppled to number 3 after an inconsequential loss in the middle of the series, and remains at number 3 even after winning the tournament.
Sachin Tendulkar demonstrated that he is still among the best in the world after 20 years of international cricket, with a brilliant century in the final to seal the series. Mahendra Dhoni, meanwhile, has become the winningest ODI India captain in his short stint so far.

They should stop updating every match and should start updating every fortnightly (or even weekly ).........
Totally agree...or even update the rankings after every series/tournament.

Re: India wins tri-series in Lanka
^ Well, unlike you I don't need a funny ranking system to tell me that India are arguably the best ODI team in the world. Just watching Sri Lanka hammer "No1" South Africa is enough. I mean this is the same SL team that Dhoni and his boys thrashed to win the Compaq Cup...that too in SL's own backyard
