I have developed a ranking system for the Australian Cricket Players this year for both Tests & ODI's (updated after every game Australia plays). It revolves around points obtained through my criteria, my criteria just does not revolve around runs scored or wickets taken, but it also takes into account other factors such as batters strike rates, bowlers economy, number of madiens a bowler has bowled, not outs by batsmen etc. Here are my rankings to date this year. Feel free to agree or disagree with them. There are some suprises, though some players are further down the rankings then they should be due to injuries obtained this year etc.
