How Would You Rank The Teams?

[steds]

i cant understand what problem everyone has against india and giving ind so lowly ratings whereas eng r getting over-rated in these ratings with many ppl giving them a rating of no.2 just due to a lucky ashes win at home. ind, beat aus in 2001 and would have thrashed aus 4-0 in the 2004 series if a 2-year old ****** going by the name of parthiv hadnt played. eng, have done nothing besides the lucky ashes win and lost to a weakened pak team 2-0. the drawn series in ind came due to mr. defensive rahul dravid batting super-slowly. if ind had gone on attack in the 1st and 3rd test on day 5, the series would have easily been won by ind 3-0, but mr. defensive played super-slow innings preventing ind wins in both tests.

as for odis, aus r a team which cant defend 434, forget defending 250 whereas ind is a team which can easily defend 203 even when the opposition is at 117/3 after 19 overs, so rating aus above ind is a joke in odis. ind, draw the series against sa 2-2 and sa were lucky to win the 1st match but still ind made 249/9 from 35/5, something which other odi teams can only dream of.

here r my ratings -

I'd like to thank Amit2 for giving the entire CW community a great opportunity to have a splendid laugh.
We've got a genuine comedian among us, folks.

 

[archie mac]

I rate India pretty highy because of there good record V the Aussies. Last three series 1-1-1- That is 1 Win 1 Draw and 1 Loss much better than any other side in world cricket.

England 1 Win 8 Losses, but because there win was so recent I think they deserve to be No. 2.

The sad thing is he was being sincere

 

[amit2]

so amit2, i've noticed a in every post you've made so far.
seriously consider anger management methods.
(the scary part is that this doesn't look like a reincarnation of nehrafan, etc.) ... really, this means there are more than 1 of these species floating around

no more s after that post

 

[amit2]

Amit what an Idiot you are mate how was England Beating the Aussies to win the Ashes Lucky......and india being number 1 you cannot beat our bare bones xi in the recent test and you lost to Pakistan as well

you are an idiot sir

chris.hinton, eng were lucky to winning the ashes as flintoff and pietersen provided once and a life-time acheievment. that eng were lucky will be proved later this year as aus will easily crush eng in the next ashes.

and as for ind not being able to beat eng, it was due to mr. defensive rahul dravid. ask mr. defensive about that. if mr. defensive hadnt been defensive in his batting and captaincy in tests and played right fielders in right positions, ind would have won 3-0

also, when someone says ind at 5-6 in test ratings, u all respect that guy and when someone says ind is no.1, that guy is laughed at by everyone

 

[amit2]

AMIT!!! I missed you my friend! Got a girlfriend yet?

also i missed u as well. y this obsession with having girl-friends?

 

[GIMH]

Bangladesh ranked 6th in ODIS, they've won how many of them ever against major sides?

LOL

This guy's great.

well said archie mac. v do have some decent aussies out here as well

anybody who thinks that ind r not 1,2 or 3 in test ratings should get their heads checked. ind arent that bad in tests to be ranked between 4-7

 

[GIMH]

I don't think anyone needs their heads checking, I think they just feel that Australia, England and Pakistan areal better sides, qute justifiably, and you will find many Indians on here subscribing to that opinion!

 

[honestbharani]

Why do some people have such a problem with India?

We are becoming the new Australia, at least in such things.

 

[honestbharani]

I know rankings are not decided after a few series, but still recent few series give you a better idea of where teams stand than let's say series in 2004(where India beat Pakistan). I ranked teams based on how good players a team has plus its recent series results. So if India had won against England, I would have put them at number 4. And regardless of the series result, I would have put them at number 4 if they had one fast bowler who was consistently taking wickets.





Australia have two main bowlers compared to other teams who have one, so an Australian attack without Warne and Mcgrath even with Lee in the team isn't threathning. I know Akhtar is more injury prone than other bowlers, but even without a Shoaibless Pakistan attack, bowling still looks good with Asif, Kaneria, and a few other decent bowlers.

By the same token, another recent series where INdia perform well would mean you would change your rankings? The whole point is that you CANNOT decide which team is better based on just a couple of series. Guys like Asif look excellent now, but so did Gul when he first came in. Look where he is now. Zaheer looked a world beater in ODIs at the start of his career, heck, he was awesome even in the 2003 WC (except the final) but see where he is now. Looking at the overall picture, BASED on the performances over the past 3-4 years, India CANNOT be said to be lower than NZ or RSA. Sri Lanka look like a million dollars now, does that mean you expect them to defeat everybody but Australia at home?

[luckyeddie]

I missed the fun.

So when's Amit3 (absolutely no relation) joining?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ah, let us not forget.

Tendulkar > Bradman.

Amit Mishra > Shane Warne.

That is all.

 

[silentstriker]

Ah, let us not forget.

Tendulkar > Bradman.

Tendulkar > God > Bradman

 

[adharcric]

Tendulkar > God > Bradman

 

[TIF]

Well it does look as if Bangladesh are better than West Indies as of now -

Since Champions Trophy 2004 -

Bangladesh have won 10 out of 27 ODIs played and not counting Zimbabwe and Kenya ODIs, they have still won 3 out of 18 ODIs including beating Australia, India and Sri Lanka

And West Indies have 3 out of 22 completed matches played and none of them have been against minnows and they couldnt beat Australia and India when they played them.

 

[honestbharani]

Tendulkar > God > Bradman

Actually, it goes like this...


AA >>>>>>> Dhoni >>> Tendulkar > God >> EVerything else.
