    Australia is still number one - haters can rightfully ask why.

    They're completely different systems. Tennis ranking points are given in fixed amounts by quality of tournament, i.e. 250 points for winning 250 series, 1000 points for winning a grand slam. A grand slam has better players than the 250 series so you get more points for winning it. Cricket...

    Australia to cancel bangladesh again

    About right, though you still tend to...well, be good. (they're all since 2000 btw) And no friggin' more. :ph34r:

    Australia to cancel bangladesh again

    It's the complete opposite. The chart shows lesser improvement early on, but after 2007 (test #45), especially in the batting, the improvement is incredibly obvious. Here is the graph again: If you honestly can't see the recent sustained improvement in that image, I don't really know what to...

    Australia to cancel bangladesh again

    Do you not understand what the word 'improving' means? It means getting better over time. And it's pretty obvious that the difference between Bangladesh and other teams has been getting smaller over time since the start of 2007, so they've been improving, even if they still suck.

    Australia to cancel bangladesh again

    Well here's all their tests (late 2000): Batting definitely better than ever.

    ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, UAE 2010

    Come on, Netherlands, stop making this more difficult then it is! 8 runs needed off final 3 overs, so far 11 balls gone and 4 for 1 scored. EDIT: Well, right after I wrote that they got the job done. Good. My favourite team in this competition...well, after Afghanistan.

    ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, UAE 2010

    Hmm, Cricket Europe showing 130/11...but cricinfo showing 128 a/o. Weird. (EDIT: Now cricinfo's changed to 130) But in any case, Kenya really got themselves out of a hole there...still should be chased down.

    ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, UAE 2010

    Every time Afghanistan surprise me. Each innings looks like a sub-par total...139, 131 and now 135. But they manage to defend their totals so well. More surprising is they didn't come close to bowling out the Scottish, and it doesn't look like they'll bowl out USA either, unless there's a big...

    **Official** Pakistan in New Zealand (3 tests)

    I will be more disappointed if we draw this without trying than if we lose it. We have always lost tests for ages, it's time for a rare shot at winning a series - it won't be a disappointment if we lose the series relative to our past successes, but it WILL be a disappointment if we don't even...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    I think you are confusing abuse with criticism. Abuse implies we are insulting them as a character - where we are merely critiquing their talent. This is Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka, so I can remain blindly optimistic this time, but I was pretty unhappy with our inability to bowl India out once in...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Just have to come out of lurk mode and say that that is utterly maniacal thinking. Come on! Our consistency in top-order failing is disturbing. We always seem to avoid the follow on though. I'm sure if you reversed the order in its current state it would make little difference to the wicket...

    Group D - New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland

    Good, the nz game is on at 9am GMT so 9pm local time, be able to watch it at a good hour. :) Hope we don't see a disaster like the England game, though Scotland don't seem to be nearly as inspired.
