[Armadillo]

Are these ratings after the Karachi ODI?

 

[Swervy]

Are these ratings after the Karachi ODI?

yes i think they are..Inzy has gone up 8 places to 31st in ODI Batting

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Out of curiousity, where is Mr. Sanford?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Out of curiousity, where is Mr. Sanford?

If they are correct, behind me and Neil, etc.

 

[Langeveldt]

Out of curiousity, where is Mr. Sanford?

Probably behind Robbie Peterson

On a serious note, good to see Tuffey at number nine...

 

[marc71178]

Out of curiousity, where is Mr. Sanford?

59, sandwiched between Simon Katich and Travis Friend.

But actually above the likes of Simon Jones, Sean Ervine, Scott Styris, Brad Hogg, Robin "85" Peterson, Gareth "94" Batty, Dewald Pretorius and Dave Mohammed.

 

[Tim]

Some ppl may be surprised about someone like Sanford being ahead of Scott Styris but Styris up until recently didn't have much consistency with the ball. I think though he'll rise up the rankings, he's bowling alot better recently.

 

[marc71178]

I wouldn't be so sure - he never seems to have a major workload as a bowler, and doesn't strike me as the sort of bowler who will ever take a lot of wickets.

More of a batsman and 5th seamer than anything.

I only mentioned his name in there as he was initially touted more of an all-rounder.

 

[Craig]

Styris started as bowler who can bat like Nathan Astle, but as time wore on they have become batsmen who bowl.

 

[Warne is god]

well Harminsons 7/12 won't have hurt his cause

 

[Shane Warne]

well Harminsons 7/12 won't have hurt his cause

You dont say! captain obvious.

 

[Craig]

well Harminsons 7/12 won't have hurt his cause

Of course it does.

 

[Jono]

Murali leading bowling in both forms of the game

That list of top 10 test batsmen in the world is one awesome list.

 

[tooextracool]

2 performances at the oval get marcus trescothick at no 10??tsk tsk
and sachin tendulkar having done absolutely nothing over the last one year except scoring a double hundred on one of the flattest wickets against an ordinary bowling attack gets him to no 9 in the test ratings?

it seems that these ratings are one match dependant..score a big hundred on the flattest pitch in the world and fail for the next 10 matches and ur still in the top 10!:rolleyes:

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

2 performances at the oval get marcus trescothick at no 10??tsk tsk

Marcus Trescothick is at number 10 in ODIs though.

 

[Rik]

and sachin tendulkar having done absolutely nothing over the last one year except scoring a double hundred on one of the flattest wickets against an ordinary bowling attack gets him to no 9 in the test ratings?

It takes into account performances over a few years, he's been brilliant other than this year remember?

 

[tooextracool]

if thats what is does then u hafta wonder what gayle is doing at the top of the ODI ratings and how anil kumble is at no 7 in the test ratings

 

[Swervy]

Gayle in his last 40 ODI's averages 53.21, has scored 7 hundreds and 10 50's...which is a stunning record.

and Kumble has done well recently in tests (12 in a match vs Australia,and a couple of other fivefers vs Australia as well etc)

 

[chris.hinton]

Harmison will be the best quick bowler England have had since Gough

Well done to him
