Strauss, Dhoni play down top ranking

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

BIRMINGHAM, England, (Reuters) – England captain  Andrew Strauss and India’s Mahendra Singh Dhoni played down the  significance of the world rankings for different reasons yesterday ahead of the third test.

India are currently the number one side but England will  leapfrog them and second-placed South Africa if they win the  four-match series by two clear tests, a feat they would achieve  with victory at Edgbaston.

“We’re not approaching this test match any differently,”
