re-check your stats!! He avg's below 38, with 3 centuries and two fifties in 2005-06 season, i don't know if that makes him the 3rd best player.genghis_khan said:

well mate, ICC rankings are based on current situation.holmie said:
If we follow your case, then there are much better players who should be in top 10. Tendulkar, Lara, Inzi, Ganguly etc. who are great ODI players. Their current form is not the best (except for Sachin, who was exceptional in the pakistan ODI series).
Gilchrist is in indifferent form, right from last year's Natwest series in England. Ponting, and Hussey are in terrific form, the latter especially and Pieterson along with him deserve to be in top 5.
I don't know why you took time to comment on a useless post.

ranking are useless
dhoni is good plyer congragulations to him
and i rate akmal above dhnoi because of his tacquine
and also dhoni wicket keeping is not like akmal
to be honest evev dravid and karthik were best keeper than dhoni and dhoni is just a good bats man not a good keeper
ya what ever but he can never be like gilchrist because of his poor technique that he got
ranking are useles

Dravid better than Dhoni? well, you need to have your eyes removed from your system becoz u dont deserve them.
technique? there have been instances of players thriving without any technique. guys like sehwag have thrived without have a good technique for batting (esp. for opening)

Allo Dhoni is number 1 man obvious he's better than akamal and r u out of ur sense Dhoni is better than Dravid in wicketkeeping. I agree Kartik is better in wicketkeeping than Dhoni but not dravid. Alllooo go have an eye appointmentMuhammad Asif said:in wicket keepin lallo

Enough everybody.
Do you guys not possess something called "sportsman spirit". If a particular player is doing well just give him his due. Dissect his technique and temperament, but do not turn it into a matter of India vs Pakistan or Australia superior than everybody in everything sort of nonsense.
The sort of crap that Genghis_Khan (who selected this guy's username anyways?), Cheaterr and Mohammad Asif have posted on this thread is sickening. Just cool it, else I'll have to close the thread and consider putting you on mod review.

And dhoni rocks.
Too bad u your ship got in way of tides.
Rankings are based on pure stats which in turn are supposed to measure a player's performance not his class or technique but how frequently and to what extent he delivers.Dhoni fulfilled the requisite criteria with the best possible results as compared to his contemporaries whenever given an opportunity and hence is currently on the no.1 spot.

I dont know if this is true but Gilchrist is the No. 1 batsman? i found this on a website, "Australia's Adam Gilchrist has edged ahead of Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India to recapture the top spot in the LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen.
"Gilchrist leapfrogged his team-mate and captain Ricky Ponting as well as Dhoni thanks to his performances in the three-match series in Bangladesh that finished on Friday.
The left-hander now holds a slender advantage of just three rating points over Dhoni, who himself assumed the top position from Ponting for the first time less than two weeks ago.
Ponting's modest series in Bangladesh has seen him slip to third in the list but Gilchrist, by contrast, is now just short of his highest-ever tally of rating points.
And Australia now has an incredible four players in the top five of the LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen with Gilchrist and Ponting joined by Andrew Symonds and Michael Hussey in fourth and fifth spots respectively.
Symonds has his best-ever haul of rating points while Hussey has entered the top five for the first time. Michael Clarke, in 11th position, is another highly-placed player in the batting list while Simon Katich, in 28th spot, also has a career-high total of rating points.
With the ball, India's Irfan Pathan is now in second place in the LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers behind Shaun Pollock of South Africa while Australia's highest-ranked player is Glenn McGrath, absent from the Bangladesh series for personal reasons, in fourth position.
Brett Lee is in sixth place while, next to him, is Nathan Bracken, up one spot to seventh and now just short of his highest rating. Also on the up is left-arm spinner Bradley Hogg, the leading wicket-taker in the Bangladesh series, up five places and now into the top 20, in 17th position.
Australia's highest-ranked ODI all-rounder in the LG ICC Player Rankings is Symonds, in fourth position, behind Pollock, England's Andrew Flintoff and Pathan.
Bangladesh does not have a batsman in the top 50 places and left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique is their top-ranked bowler, in 24th position.
Australia's 3-0 success in the series means it has retained its 13 point lead over South Africa at the top of the LG ICC ODI Championship table, with India a further three points back in third spot.
Bangladesh has dropped one rating point to 23 and remains in 10th position in the table.
As one ODI series has come to an end, another is about to begin, the seven-match clash between the West Indies and Zimbabwe that gets underway in the Caribbean on Saturday.
The two sides are currently in eighth and ninth places respectively in the LG ICC ODI Championship table and need to buck the recent trend that has seen them both struggle in this form of the game if they are to close the gap on those sides above them.
If the West Indies achieve a clean-sweep of the series they will improve their rating by two points to 91, just 12 behind seventh-placed England. But if Zimbabwe can win the series, it will close the gap considerably on the home side.
A 4-3 Zimbabwe win will see it rise nine rating points to 51 while dropping the West Indies to 79 while a 6-1 win for the African side will lift it to 57 points (West Indies 74).
Brian Lara, recently re-appointed as the West Indies captain, will be making his first ODI appearance for the side since May last year, although he did play three matches for the ICC World XI in the Johnnie Walker Super Series against Australia in October.
Lara has been given the task of leading a West Indies revival after the resignation of Shivnarine Chanderpaul and he will be looking to improve on the side's recent ODI form as their latest outing saw them lose 4-1 in New Zealand.
Lara will also be anxious to improve on his current position in the LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen as he begins the series in 33rd spot, one place below Chanderpaul.
Ahead of that duo are Ramnaresh Sarwan (13th) and Chris Gayle (17th) while the side's leading representative at the top end of the of the bowling list is Ian Bradshaw, in joint 15th spot alongside England's Andrew Flintoff and now just short of his highest mark of rating points.
The inexperienced Zimbabwe side is on a learning curve and, like Bangladesh, does not have a batsman in the top 50 while its top-ranked bowler is off-spinner Prosper Utseya, in 45th place and at his best-ever rating."
