    <p>Surprised this hasnt been brought up today...</p>

    New Zealand top T20I rankings for first time

    <p><strong>New Zealand have moved to the top of the T20I rankings for the first time following the ICC's annual update</strong>. The new cycle disregarded results from the 2012-13 season and therefore West Indies, who won their first Twenty20 championship in 2012, lost points and have dropped one place to No. 3.</p>
    <p>New Zealand have 132 points, having played their first World T20 semi-final since 2007. India also have 132 points, but New Zealand were ahead by a factor of 0.21 when decimal points were taken into consideration.</p>
    <p>South Africa have been ranked No. 4 and World T20 2016 finalist England rounded off the top five.</p>
    <p>In ODIs, Australia and New Zealand, who played the final of the 2015 World Cup, occupy the top two spots. South Africa have moved up a spot to No. 3, exchanging places with India.</p>

    First time we've been #1 in any format I believe. Definitely a golden period for the BCs 🙂

    <p>Great to see.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>However, to be consistent, I've never rated international T20 and have never ever looked at the ratings.  I also think the current "world champions" are a joke of a team.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But if we're #1....celebration time!!!</p>

    The current world champions are made up of a team of T20 specialists. They were deserved winners without a doubt.

    <p>Well, they won.  Then behaved like a bunch of knobs.  And are a joke of a cricket team.</p>

    Not in T20s they aren't. In tests absolutely, and should probably lose their status as a test nation. But they are fricken hard to beat in T20s. They won the thing without their premier batsmen firing a shot in the finals.

    <p>Yep, and it proved that winning a T20 tournament requires more arse than class.</p>

    Lol, I think it shows that winning a T20 tournament requires T20 specialists. Which is what basically the entire WI team is.

    <p>Yes.  And was a brilliant cricketer who saw an opportunity to design a game that any gumby could play</p>
