Interesting to see Harvey at 6. Surprised Clarke didnt climb even further after that 4/42!:P

One of the reasons Ian Harvey is No.5 in the rankings is that he has bowled more than say for example Jason Gillespie (due to Gillespie being injured) who is No.6, this means that Harvey has more opportunities to rank higher in the rankings. Harvey has also put in some good bowling performances to be fair. Though if you take the avg. number of points per innings into account, then you could assume that if Gillespie wasn't injured, he would more than likely be ahead of Harvey. Also if Bracken continues to perform like he is in India right now, he should overtake Harvey in the bowling rankings, unless Harvey puts in some more good bowling performances (thats if he gets to play).

Clarke is only 2 points behind Shane Watson. He has jumped two places and his avg. points per innings (bowling) has gone up by 35.83 :wow:

[Ford_GTHO351]

It will be interesting to see if Andy Bichel will overtake Brett Lee to become (by my ratings) Australia's No.1 ODI bowler for 2003. Though if think Lee will still be No.1 as Bichel has only a few ODI's left to catch Lee and Bichel has been a little quiet in his recent ODI bowling performances. If Lee is No.1 for 2003, it would be even more remarkable as he is missing the entire Tri-series in India due to injury, yet still had a big enough lead prior to the rest of the Australians leaving to go to India to stay No.1.

Clarke has a higher bowling average than McGrath. This suggests a flaw to me.

Well if you take into account that Michael Clarke (139@46.33) has only bowled in three innings this year, it wouldn't be fair to compare Clarkes average with Glenn McGrath's. McGrath (877@46.15) has on the other hand bowled in 19 innings this year. To be fair to McGrath, he has bowled with injuries which would have not helped his bowling performances and this also would of then hurt his average.

Michael Bevan went up from No.7 to No.6 in the batting rankings, Darren Lehmann has dropped to No.7 from No.6.

In the Bowling rankings, Brad Williams has gone from No.8 to No.7 passing Nathan Bracken who has dropped from No.7 to No.8.

[Mr. P]

Did Clarke go up the rankings after his 70 mate? It was a very good innings.

Strangely his overall 'average' went down.....

His position didn't change neither.

[Ford_GTHO351]

No Clarke stayed in the same position. With my rankings, you will often improve your rank if you not only perform well, but also if you can play often. Clarke has only batted seven times this year so it is hard for him to improve his rank. Though if he could bat like he did for the remaining ODI's in India, he could come close to passing Darren Lehmann in the batting rankings.

Clarkes average is amazing (118.00 points per innings). Though it is admitely high due to his few not outs and his drop in his average despite his 70 reflects this.

Batting
Ian Harvey up from 12th to 11th.
Jimmy Maher down from 11th to 12th.

Ricky Ponting looks evermore likely to stay No.1 for 2003. Michael Bevan has improved considerbally in his points accumulation and his average after his 84 not out.


Bowling
Nathan Bracken up from 8th to 7th.
Brad Williams down from 7th to 8th.
Michael Kasprowicz up to 15th place in his first bowling apperance this year for Australia.

Andy Bichel needs some really good bowling performances in the last two remaining ODI's for Australia if he is to overtake Brett Lee. Bracken and Williams are both in a close fight in the rankings and both have in recent matches traded positions on a regular basis.

[Hoggy]

Hoggy at no.3! 8D

How about this - ya got any fielding records because Bevan robbed Hogg of a wicket with that dropped catch. (Having said that he had been hit about 80 metres away)
