Rate 'Em

Interesting.

For the people who have already voted, how did you vote, like as in the players current form, overall test career or what they offer the team at the moment?

What they offer the team at the moment - for example, I only gave Dravid a 3.

I'll make some Ashes predictions.

England total: 6.74

Australia= 7.15

For how improved England's attack looks, and how poor Australia's is doing in India, i think i'd still prefer a pace attack of Lee-Clark-Johnson over Flintoff-Anderson-Harmison.

You've heard it here first: Watson to do a Flintoff and win man of the series.

For comparison, India. Although I have made a few guesses at the backups as I don't know the Indian domestic scene very well.

I just find a few of the ratings unusual.

Andrew Strauss vs Jason Krejza both 6, not many people are going to rate Krejza at the same level.

Peter Siddle vs Steve Harmison both 6, again Harmy has to be rated higher then Siddle.

It's interesting and impossible for everyone to agree with all your ratings, these are just a few examples where I don't think you've given the correct rating.

Yeah I suppose so. I did it quite quickly based on gut, not really cross referencing with other players. I kind of defaulted to if they haven't played enough international cricket to be truly judged then give them a 6, which may be too generous.

New Zealand:

Aaron Redmond 5
Jamie How 7
Jesse Ryder 7
Ross Taylor 7
Brendon McCullam 9
Daniel Flynn 5
Jacob Oram 8
Daniel Vettori 9
Kyle Mills 6
Tim Southee 7
Iain O'brien 5

Jeetan Patel 6
Peter Fulton 6
Grant Elliott 5
Chris Martin 7
Mark Gillespie 5

Average: 6.5

maybe a little generous on the young guys like Southee and Ryder but I really do rate them.
