Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Chief Whip of the Majority Party I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that the South African cricket team, the Proteas, have reclaimed the number-one ranking on the latest International Cricket Council One-Day International, ODI, team rankings, following the conclusion of its series against hosts New Zealand recently;
(2) further notes that the team moved to the top of the table following its 72-runs victory in the second ODI in Mount Maunganui on Friday, 24 October 2014; (3) acknowledges that this is the first time in five years that South Africa has surged to the top of the ODI team table;
(4) realises that South Africa last enjoyed the number-one position in September 2009, before losing the status to Australia following their first-round elimination from the ICC Champions Trophy 2009; and
(5) congratulates the Proteas on this exemplary achievement.
Agreed to.
