Rank The Teams (In Terms of Batting)
Due to all the talk in the India in South Africa thread... I want to come to a conclusion of what CW members here think about each team's batting strength and what they would rank them compared to other teams.
I would like you to rank the top 8 teams in terms of batting strength in both forms of the game COMBINED. My opinion on this is... 1) Australia (Big Surprise) 2) India 3) WI 4) South Africa 5) England 6) Sri Lanka 7) Pakistan 8) New Zealand .................................................. .......................Geez, that was harder than I thought it would be! |

Ranking the West Indies that high is a bit farcical, sure they have a far superior batting lineup on paper with Gayle, Sarwan, Chanerpaul and Lara but it's not very often they fire, especially since we are putting Test's and ODI's together. Each to his own I guess.

The entire concept of this thread is daft. You can't "combine" rankings across the two forms of the game, when sides like England and the West Indies are very good in one form and hopeless in another.
And the idea that India, South Africa and Pakistan are better across all-time than England is insane. England were the best team in the world for long periods, even as recently as the 50s and 60s. None of those three teams have ever been the best in the world for any sort of extended period.

My ranking of the batting line-ups is: 1, Australia 2. India 3.Sri Lanka 4. South Africa 5.Pakistan 6. England(we're crap at ODI batting and don't score Test 200s) 7. West Indies(on talent should be higher but underachieve in Tests too often) 8. New Zealand.
