England were in contention for the top spot for quite some time now and a series win over Sri Lanka at home further pushed their claim.

Next up was a home series against the number 1 ranked team. In a series dubbed as “Dravid vs England”, the Brits outplayed India in all 3 departments and humiliated with a scoreline of 4-0. Thus, the mantle of Test champion rather fittingly was passed on to England.

But the journey at the top didn’t turn out smooth as the Englishmen then suffered a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of Pakistan in UAE and tied with Sri Lanka 1-1 in an away series which led to their quick downfall from the top.
