Surely that will be even more the case if the ICC is now promoting them as official rankings...C_C said:Good riddance.
Its annoying to see such a flawed rating system dominate the cricketing opinions to such a degree.
www.cricketratings.com links directly to the site. I have checked and it looks like it hasn't been updated yet. It also looks like the ODI ratings have disappeared.El Russo said:I found this out as well, just a day after they said to check back later for updates for the SA-England 4th Test and Bangladesh-Zim series. Went to the ICC site, but could find nothing relating to player ratings. Anyone know the link? Cheers.
There's not any change in the formulaJASON said:I have been skeptical occasionally about their ranking system, but they have been regarded for several years as the most reliable ranking system, and hence had grown to accept it !!
I am not sure that ICC can do a better ranking system than the World's leading number crunchers !! (Price Waterhouse Coopers that is, being the leading Accounting and Management Consultants world wide! Although their competitors such as Anderson Consulting, Deloitte Tohmatsu, KPMG etc may dispute this ! )
How so?C_C said:well i dont pay attention to rankings...all of them are pretty bogus.
They don't back up his pre-formed notions about the game. For example, the ratings might at one point or another indicate that the best bowler in the world is someone other than the one with the lowest average.marc71178 said:How so?
