Ponting is in the list because of traditional anti-Pakistan of ICC & their so called "panel of experts".Without any doubt,Ponting is one of the top 10 cricketers of last 10 years or so but in 2006,it was just Yousuf,Yousuf & Yousuf!2006-07 Ponting, R.T Aus
Better than his Faisalabad 05 knock against England when he batted with the tail and scored a ton?Inzy playing quite possibly his best knock of his career here. I hope I don't jinx him by saying that like I did in the Eng vs. Aus ODI last night, but he's been brilliant.

Don't quite understand ICC's rankings do you?Ponting is in the list because of traditional anti-Pakistan of ICC & their so called "panel of experts".Overall,Ponting is one of the top 10 cricketers of last 10 years or so but in 2006,it was just Yousuf,Yousuf & Yousuf.
Yes, this one is in foreign (and tougher batting) conditions with his team 1-0 down in the series against a better bowling attack.Better than his Faisalabad 05 knock against England when he batted with the tail and scored a ton?
Indeed. Time to take back my 'over rated' comment about him.300 for Ntini, very well done
I thought he batted better and worked with the tail even better in Faisalabad, but I do see your point, especially considering he was in his best form back then and has been out of form for a while coming into this match.Yes, this one is in foreign (and tougher batting) conditions with his team 1-0 down in the series against a better bowling attack.
She's good thanks mate. Her and my lady are at Grandma's for the weekend hence my overtime on Cricket WebLOL, Miandad the only Pakistani on the list.
Good work Fiery, how's the young'un btw.
Ofcourse I do understand.Yousuf was matchless from October/November 2005 till 31st December(even u exclude his performance in last 2 months or so i.e against West Indies).Don't quite understand ICC's rankings do you?
Aaaaaaaargh!Hopefully not jinxing anything, but heading for a great ton.
Damn You!! Inzi stranded on 92. Inzi still doesn't have a ton against RSA.Slow Love™;1048453 said:Inzy tearing it up here. This is great stuff to watch. Hopefully not jinxing anything, but heading for a great ton.
how does the rating works? i mean how do they choose the batsman's number? how come we don't see any pakistan batsman there except mindad? inzi had his best years in his career, saeed anwar was top class opener of all time for pakistan, zahir abbas another wonderful batsman. 2006 was yousuf's year but how come pointing is number one? he hasn't make as many runs as yousuf.Here's a list of the batsmen rated Number 1 by the ICC Ratings as at the 1st January of each year: (Thought I would make myself useful while I watched the game)

Well the other thing might be, as i heard from the news is that Shoaib was having a big argument with Woolmer this morning, so maybe they are covering it up?Akhtar may not bowl again in this test. Huge blow considering how well he bowled in the first inning.
