ICC Championship Tables in September 2005

With the conclusion of the Test season on 12 September and the ODI season on 9 August, the official ICC Championship tables were as shown below. Many teams had changed positions owing to the cut-off system used, where results between 1 August 2002 and 1 August 2003 counted for the May rankings but not for the September rankings.

Famous quotes containing the words tables and/or september:

    O these encounterers, so glib of tongue,
    That give a coasting welcome ere it comes,
    And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts
    To every ticklish reader! Set them down
    For sluttish spoils of opportunity
    And daughters of the game.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek.... From this September afternoon, and from between these now cultivated shores, those times seemed more remote than the dark ages.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
