ICC Rankings of the best test batsmans & bowlers of all time

[.::Stevo::.]

"OMGZZZZ noi Sachin, i hte ICC, thre IDIOTZZZZZZ, he iz GOOOOOD"

Jesus christ people, even though i too think these 'point rankings' aren't all that great, but just read what the actually bloody rankings are all about before showing your lack of ability to think.

List seems fine to me. Just fanboys kicking up a stink.

The essence of that answer really is that a list of the greatest Test cricketers is different from a list of the best cricketers of all time.

Who's saying that?

There.

Stupid Character made me put this

Will you stop saying that its the best cricketer of all time, it says best ever ratings which that list shows.

'Reliance Mobile ICC best ever Test Championship rating' reads the title. I'm afraid anyone who reads that will, and is supposed to, take it as (Reliance Mobile ICC best ever Test Championship)-rating and not the way you have read it as Reliance Mobile ICC (best ever Test Championship rating) list. I hope the difference is clear there. I can't think of a better way to describe that. Even if the list is indeed that of just those who had the highest points ever in ICC table, then I'm afraid it should be called something else. And I don't believe it for a moment that this was some oversight or anything. The list is very much an all time best list according to the ICC and intended as such.

You are quoting me completely out of context.

Do you actually know how these ratings work? And what they are all about?? Because it seems you just pissed off because your beloved Sachin isn't number one. I bet anything if he was number one you guys would be like "yes, that is a superb list"

But anyway, sook away!!

No mate! Please educate me.

The title clearly reads "Reliance Mobile ICC best ever Test Championship rating" and the blurb-like thing with it clearly states "Players make the all-time list by sustaining excellent form over a prolonged period. The ratings shown are the highest points totals these players have attained and no player is allowed to appear on the list more than once."

If thats not clear enough then its your problem it clearly says what it is.

Would you have said the same thing had your beloved Donny wasn't the no 1?

That statement there is basically telling us thats the reason why you're annoyed, because Sachin isn't number one which he isn't anywhere near.

Read that.

The rankings are the HIGHEST POINT a batsman/bowler has achieved over his career.

Well then, I guess the ICC lists are meant for the more intelligent people. Not for a person with average intelligence as yours truly. And my average intelligence is clearly my own problem, can't blame the ICC for that!

 

[Leicester Fox]

but the Don would always be number 1. If you have a rankings system that doesn't have the don as number 1 then it's wrong.

HAHA you just admitted that because of Sachins low ranking, you've gone all sooky la la

And no mate, couldn't give a stuff about where Sir 'Donny' is ranked, i have a life which revolves around more important things to get carried away about!

 

[King Cricket]

but the Don would always be number 1. If you have a rankings system that doesn't have the don as number 1 then it's wrong.

Just like you I can also say that any ranking system which has Sachin placed in the 26th spot is also WRONG. FULL STOP.
