The ICC ODI Championship sees England ranked just ahead of West Indies, as seventh and eighth respectively, though West Indies are more competitive in ODIs. They finished fifth and sixth in the Super Eight stage of the recent World Cup, with England finishing ahead of West Indies by virtue of their one-wicket win. West Indies, however, reached the final of the Champions Trophy in ऑक्टोबर २००६, and defeated India ४–१ in a home series in मे. England also acquired one ODI series win in the past year, defeating Australia in the final of the २००७ Commonwealth Bank Series, their first series win abroad since १९९८. They were, however, defeated ०–५ at home by Sri Lanka in जून, as well as drawing २–२ with Pakistan.
