    I've got lots of upvotes. I'm a legend on this board.

    I edited and tried to insert a table, fucked it up and lost everything.

    but yeah, Cairns is the best. end of.

    I'd like to know exactly which games have contributed how many points to our ranking, but can't find anything.

    It covers the last 4 years, but not every match. Yet the last time we toured away to Sri Lanka was 2012 (The Taylor sacking tour), which is outside the time period.

    From: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/874363.html

    What is the time period considered?

    A minimum of 36 months, and a maximum of 48 months. Every May, the results from months 37 to 48 drop off. For example, in May 2015, the time period considered is May 2012 onwards, with results from May 2011 to April 2012 dropping off. Till April 2016, this is the time period considered; in May 2016 all results between May 2012 and April 2013 will be knocked off.

    How are the older results weighted compared to the more recent ones?

    The first two years get 50% weightage, while the last 12 to 24 months gets 100% weightage. For example, in May 2015, all matches from May 2012 to April 2014 gets 50% weightage, while matches after May 2014 gets 100% weightage.

    Anyway. Individual stats over the last 4 years. Some unknown parts of which contributed to the ranking.

    Batting:

    These are the matches played in the 4 year period:

    Team records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

    Team records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

    I have highlighted this series v Sri Lanka, thinking it wouldn't count as we have hosted them twice in this period, thinking this would drop off. But I don't think that's how it works.

    Last4years.png

    Out last away tours to the following countries aren't counted in our rating:

    • to West Indies in 2014, won 2-1
    • to Sri Lanka in 2012. drew 1-1
    • to Bangladesh, drew 0-0

    How do the ICC Test ratings work?

    The rating system is based on assigning points to teams for every Test match played, and then averaging it out over all Tests played by the team during the period under consideration. The final rating is thus an average score for the team during that period.

    The points awarded to a team depends on the strength of the opposition. A win against a stronger opposition counts for more than a win against a weak opposition. The strength of the opposition is determined by their rating points at the start of the series, and updates happen only at the end of a series, not after each Test.

    Is there a bonus for winning a series?

    Yes, a series win counts as an extra Test match won. So, if a team wins a series 2-1, when assigning points it will count as a 3-1 win.

    Does an away win count for more than a home win?

    No, there is no extra weightage given to an away win; only the opposition strength is taken into account.

    The FTP says we have Sri Lanka away in August. Then we have to put up the series win against England in November (short turn around, no?). Before Aussie where we can only gain points after the humiliation last time.

    Strangely we do not appear to play West Indies in a test away until 2023 which cannot be right.

    They went twice in quick succession in 2012 (1-1) and 2014 (2-1 win).

    2012 notable for Wagner finally being eligible and debuting.
    2014 only really notable for Mark Craig taking 8-fer and being MoTM on debut.

    If NZ beat Bangladesh 2-0 in upcoming series, we stay on same point.s If we win 3-0 we gain 2 points to go to 109. Win 1-0 we lose points, you get the picture ....

    India are waaaay out in front.

    Did you guys know you can't screenshot a Snapchat without the sender being alerted?

    no I didn't either, luckily she was a bit of a ho and didn't mind me showing pictures of her tits to the boys.

    please feel free to move this to the tinder/blokes advice thread....

    All rounders stats

    This is a list of all test players with at least 1000 runs and 75 wickets in order of difference between batting and bowling average. Apparently, our third best all rounder on that stat is Oram...

    Oram was a class act in tests, could have been right up there if he wasn't constantly injured

    I remember going to EP and watching Cairns and Oram each get test tons on the same day vs the jaaps iirc. Brilliant

    Mate I want some of what you were on last night.

    Oram doesn't even appear on the stat list you linked. Which is hardly surprising as he doesn't qualify having only taken 60 test wickets....

    Hadlee and Cairns #1 and 2 are the only two Kiwi's with a positive differential Reid is next at -0.07 then Vettori. Only other Kiwis to appear are Bracewell and Dipak Patel. Three genuine allrounders one who fashioned himself into one and a couple of guys who hung around long enough to qualify.

    Which is pretty much the overall makeup of the list

    @MN5 pretty bloody good.

    The cricinfo profile is from E.W. Swanton and shows just how much our language and society has changed in the (guessing) 90 odd years since it was first written.

    "Aubrey" sounds very much the archetype Edwardian gentleman despite being a Saffa.

    During the European War he served with distinction with the R.F.A. in Salonika, Egypt and Palestine, gaining the D.S.O. in 1918 and the Order of the Nile.

    Afflicted by melancholia, he died tragically by his own hand.

    just surprised I'd never heard of him...

    S Waugh was a useful bowler too. Easy to forget but this high on an all rounders list ? I never knew Hammond was decent as well. Kapil Dev well down the list for one of the greats too.

    Paddles and Cairns right beside each other interestingly enough which would at casual glance suggest they're comparable which of course they're not.

    Shakib Al Hassan and Jason Holder will fight it out for number one in the coming years you'd think.

    Whoops, was looking at multiple lists along the same lines but changing the parameters, and Oram was on the NZ list I originally started with. If the wickets are low enough (without being >0), Kane has our biggest differential.

    Steve Waugh perhaps has the position that maybe Ian Botham could have had.

    First half of Steve's career he bowled a lot and a handy but not brilliant batsman. I'd imagine only a few runs between his batting and bowling averages for much of that time.

    Second half he was very much a part time bowler and became a batting rock. Accelerated his batting average, without damaging his bowling average.

    Sobers is further ahead of Kallis than this looks. I'd love to see Sobers bowling averages based on whether he was bowling fast medium or spin - and for when he was bowling LA orthodox or wrist spin.
