No help on that site.
I tried this site The very complex Dave Kendix cricket rankings | Stuff.co.nz once I got the name Kendix to narrow it down, but it seems like they were just as flummoxed as I am.
Is there a better system in the offing? Perhaps something along the lines of making tour results a more direct means of assessing teams; ie, assigning point values such as done in tennis?
No team tournament can really be open to all comers; it would take forever to complete and you would get mismatches with weak clubs entered. There has to be some way of excluding the jokers. Plus, I'm guessing the ICC is taking into account what the broadcasters paying for it want.
I concur that subjectively/objectively ranking people that aren't playing each other is a terrible way to organize tournaments, but what else does anyone have in mind?

Agreed! Chase/Allen at 6 also.

tfw you're hoping to see Thomas with the new ball and you get Chase instead.

Thomas a bit too fast for Kayes.

We really really really suck. We'd suck even with selectors and team management blessed with common sense, but as we have the opposite we have now regressed to total and utter suckyness.
I'll follow the next match but it's getting harder and harder to get up and watch this rubbish.

Haven't seen Allen's batting yet - but I don't think Chase is good enough for ODI no. 6. I'd take Andre Russell if he's available - and someone like Rovman or even Pollard if Russell isn't available

A few months ago I would have said that's a distinct possibility. But we've batted so poorly I just can't see us putting enough runs on the board.
England look like they're getting done confidence away from home also

255/7. That was actually an excellent performance in the field. Rovman got his bowling changes right, we hit them with express pace and the other seamers bowled with good variation. Bishoo was actually tight for once. If Oshane hadn't bowled that no ball and Shakib hadn't trolled at least 3 edged boundaries, the score might have been even lower.
Now there are no excuses whatsoever. This pitch is slow but nothing different from what they play on at home. The dew will be out and make the ball come onto the bat slightly better like it did in the first ODI. They have a very chaseable target. Lose this and it's rank bad batting IMHO. Alas, that's what we have though, so I expect them to implode.
