Gotta love the ICC.

Ranked 11th in ODI's as we get no games, yet even though we're ranked 9th in t20 we have to qualify and two full members including one in 13th get automatic qualification.

Meritocracy

Lol at saeed ajmal still being no 1 bowler

Tigers_eye · #5 March 23, 2015, 08:05 AM

One would have thought with the best batting lineup and limitedly strong bowling line up Ind would be a top Test side. They are almost invincible at home. How come they are ranked #7?

That's how you get games.

Truly, 14 teams should be in World cups ODIs and T20. 4 teams in test.

fragile and vulnerable when the ball moves a little bit. India has no hope at Test.

I am sorry bangladesh qualified for the t20 world cup,but generally they suck at T20 dunno how to play it,better one day team than T20 team,they need to play it more,if not internationally domestically.

I disagree. They have a better structure. They have all these bowling academies. On top of that they have the financial resources to instill pitches/conditions to replicate conditions abroad. With one BKSP we are producing these kids. Imagine the day when we will have a BKSP on each division.

They are few years removed from #1 ranking. The greats are being replaced. It will take time. Just like the Aussies have done well in replacing McGrath and Co. Bailey would do just fine after Clarke.

So the difference between us and big 8 in 2006 was 66 points. In 2009, in became 27. Currently (2015) it is 16.

Tigers_eye · #14 March 23, 2015, 11:04 AM

In next 4 series at home we win 4/5 games, we would be somewhere around 84-85 range.

We haven't improved. Afghan pacers will smash us on Aussie pitches in the world cup. Forget about England, even Scotland will crush us.

Oh woops...

T20 rankings has no influence on ODI cricket. Last time I checked, Bangladesh and zimbro had to qualify for t20 world cup 2014 so how is it unfair?

I must say I had similar thoughts.......thank god our team performed and saved the blushes. Credit should be given to the batters for coping with the condition. But they have definitely been helped by the drop in pitches which have been fairly true and without much sideway movement (bar NZ game).

Sir Donal,
Let me remind you that Bangladesh did not get automatic qualification in T20 WC for which Bnagladesh was the HOST, they had to qualify by playing against Nepal, HongKong, and Afghanistan, yes its funny that host nation had to qualify for the tournament (only in Cricket it is possible).

Rankings are different for each format (Test, ODI, T20), and they are being used accordingly.

If you get to play T20 WC, ICC will only look your T20 ranking, not ODI ranking.

We may have to play qualifying stage along with top two or four associate teams for next CWC if we don't climb to 8!

Lookikg at the team rankings it just shows how important it is to have a strong bowling attack to top in Tests.
And how important batting is in shorter formats.
Its surprising that Aus and SA are not so good in T20s .

Donal C · #21 March 23, 2015, 02:56 PM

Point is Bangladesh and Zimbabwe dont have to play a totally pointless t20 qualifier in May whereas we do.

Dont even get me started on the stupidity of the preliminary round/qualifier 2.0 either

Yes that's true. But it does give much needed practice. In a way I'll be sad if we jump to 8th and don't play in the 2018 world cup qualifier because that's 5-6 ODIs less we get to play. All matches we'd have won.

Humble as always

In all seriousness though its just so frustrating.

People moan about the ODI WC and say the t20 one should be 16 teams or what not.

What they dont realise is the t20 world cup is pretty much a 10 team world cup, so the one world cup that everyone agrees should be expansive ends up being the only one that isnt

You can rest assure. ICC will not go with 10 team WC in 2019. Almost everyone from the fans to the experts have spoken against it. They will have to expand. If not then IRE can be the 10th team and Zim will be the 11th.

But how does the rest of the year look for IRE? Are they scheduled to play any test team?

We have an ODI vs what will likely be an England C team in a few weeks. (Bet any money they'll pick Rankin just to annoy us)

Then we co-host the t20 qualifiers with Scotland, followed by an ODI vs Australia.

I've heard on Irish websites that a 2 or 3 ODI series vs New Zealand is on the cards at the end of summer, followed by a tour of Zimbabwe who we'd then host in 2016. But I've heard these kinds of things before, I'll reserve judgement until something concrete is announced.

As for the 2019 WC, I genuinely believe the ICC will stick with it this time. Last time they backed down as having no qualifier was I'm pretty sure illegal, now that they've thrown 1 spot for grabs they'll stick it out I think.
