[TheJediBrah]

The real question is whether he orders a cappuccino or a latte for the drinks break. Or maybe he's a triple espresso kinda guy?

Insane to think that Bradman is still 14 points clear and Smith's 180 odd runs in the last test only raised him by 2 points.

As long as Smith is the undisputed best batsman around that's what matters to me.

The way the formula works, Smith would have to make like five 300 not outs in a row to get ahead wouldn't he

Someone post up his stats from the start of the Oval Test 2013.

Yesterday was his 23rd ton in 60 Tests, but I think I'm right in saying the Oval Test was his 14th.

So if my maths is right he's more or less scored a ton every other Test since his first.

As requested

It would appear that the Oval was his 12th match, but given he's only batted once in a few tests since then so since his first ton he's probably scored one every 3-4 innings

Edit: Starting from his maiden ton, it's 23 in 84 innings, so a rate of 1 century every 3.65 innings

I know,I know.

Before the Perth test Smith's rating was 939.He scores 239 (bats once only and averages 239 for the test) and jumps up 6 places to 945.

Now in Melbourne scores 76 & 102* respectively for an average of 178 and for his troubles goes up 2 places to 947.I was at least expecting 949 to be honest after the test was over and he got the red ink.

He had to score 417 runs to go from 939 to 947.Man, to ascend upwards in the ratings at an exponential rate is just incredibly tough at this rarefied air now.Even if he scores 50 & 50 in Sydney it'll probably actually lower his ranking instead of increasing it.


If he does peak at 947 it'd be cool if a bat sponsor gets on board and he has ''947' splashed across his bat when he goes out to bat in the future.

Is there somewhere that explains how the ICC rankings actually work?

I have read a bit about the process and because it was harder or more accurately more wickets for runs scored Smith received more points from Perth than Melbourne.

The level of run-scoring in the match, and the team’s innings total; an innings of 100 runs in a match where all teams scored 500 is worth less than 100 runs in a match where all teams were bowled out for 200. And if a team scores 500 in the first innings and 200 in the second innings, a century in the second innings will get more credit than in the first innings (because the general level of run scoring was higher in the first innings)

Steve Smith is becoming some sort of omnipresence casting a spell over the autumn. I wouldn't mind, but I did a search for Dale Steyn.
