Test rankings watch

[Dendarii]

SA 3 batsmen and 3 bowlers in the top 10 or if you include the top 20 it's 5 batsmen and 5 bowlers.

And De Kock just outside the top 20.

nz always capitulate pathetically whenever faced with anything remotely australian. southee and boult were both half fit on the tour to aus as well and bowling both sides of the pitch, but it was the home series that was truly disgraceful. no excuses there.

 

[stephen]

No Starc either. Hard to believe a bowling attack of Hazlewood, Siddle, Bird and Lyon was still able to dismantle NZ really cheaply.

That's still a quality attack. Peak Siddle was a very good bowler and Bird is also very good. And that was back when Hazlewood was good too.

Wasn't exactly peak Siddle around then though.

Bump

Australia now no1, NZ 2, India down to 3.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If NZ had at least drawn a test in Australia (instead of the 3 embarrassing defeats) we'd perhaps be undeserved no 1s.

lol how did the rankings change during a global lockdown?

 

[Starfighter]

Time dependent. Presumably some good results for India or bad results for us moved out of the the consideration period.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

lol how did the rankings change during a global lockdown?

They recalibrate every year on 1 May and eliminate older results from the rankings

Bump

Australia now no1, NZ 2, India down to 3.

This seems very harsh LOL. We've only lost one series.

Woah at Afghanistan > Bangladesh/Zimbabwe.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bangladesh did lose against the Afghans.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

In the All rounder rankings Rubel Hossain is ranked higher than Rohit Sharma.

 

[stephen]

Yeah those rankings are bull****. No way Australia should be ahead of India right now.

Afghanistan getting the home Test against Ireland in helps too; Bangladesh haven't done that yet.

im enjoying the sudden death nature of the rankings. we plummeted to 5th after our loss to aus, then india were toppled when they came here and aus/nz ate all their spots.

also that uae series win is proving so valuable to nz when it comes to fending off other western sides.

 

[Line and Length]

Rankings are all very well, but where it counts is on the pitch. Sadly we've been deprived of that recently.

 

[Victor Ian]

Amazing. How do they rank series that are abandoned? Draw? Nothing?

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol rankings. New Zealand only 1 point behind Australia, who are in reality several classes above them
