Lewis has vanished from some reason.
Now has appeared at 56 after Bangladesh played Bermuda.

Anti-Gloucestershire bias of course.

Thought Colly would be a lot higher - in both tables.

god Ian Bell is still behind Marcus Trescothick despite playing about 20 games since Tres's last one. Just goes to show how good Tres is and how much we miss him

How on earth can MV be so high ??

Interestingly despite Pietersen's number 1 status he hasn't won a MoM award for ages. His last one was against the Aussies in 2005. Colly has picked up 4 already this year and Joyce has won 2 this year. Flintoff (12) also won his first one for more than 2 years against NZ. Anderson won his last one (of 3) against Pakistan in the final ODI in Pakistan. I guess we didn't win many MoM awards last year because we just didn't win any ODI games. Hopefully we'll see a change in that and players moving in the right way up the rankings!

You mean such a high number, i.e low in the rankings? For a specialist batsman, captain of a major ODI team, being ranked 69 is pretty bad. It partly reflects the number of games he's had to miss of course.

I mean he shouldnt be ranked as high as he is. He is a poor ODI batsman and if he wasnt captain he wouldnt get a game.

I suppose if you were to look at the company he is keeping way down there adjacent to 70th spot in the rankings, you'd see that he's pretty much down on skid row. Quite embarrassing really.

skid row :D

He is still 15 places above Joyce :odd: and Joyce already has a ODI 100

Yeah, but Bravo, Rudolph, Kaif, ten Doeschate, Tikolo, Morton and Ashraful are all above him.

Akmal, Mishra, Hamish Marshall, Pathan and, ahem, GO Jones are just below him in the rankings.

Like I said, Cricket's equivalent to skid row. Joyce is low because he hasn't played enough matches to have credit for his full ranking points just yet.

Me too. Congratulations to KP. How long before he is #1 in test cricket?

Didn't KP get man of the match for winning us the ICCCT game? I thought he was awesome in that game.

No Chris Gayle got MoM for scoring a century and taking 3 wickets.

Maybe when Ponting retires

Forget the Monty/Dalrymple debate, Blackwell the best spinner in England!

True but he's also fairly low because he's not done all that well.

This shows why the whole idea of ratings is a complete load of rubbish
