ODI Rankings

[Tiger Manc]

After New Zealand's 2nd defeat of the 5 match series against Sri Lanka, they've now moved down to 72 points, just one above Bangladesh. I'm assuming if it's a whitewash they'll be ranked below us so we may see ourselves back up to 8th for the second time in our history. I wonder what score we have to beat Windies by in the ODI series to leapfrog them too.

[rinathq]

Right now the Kiwis are struggling.... its the best time to have a series with them. They are still stronger than us but i feel like home advantage would be the deciding factor for both

[Tiger Manc]

Are we 8th?

[nadim 98]

yes we are!!

If we lose the series by 3-2, we will still be above NZ:)

Currently we have 75 points(we got 4 points from today's win), whereas NZ have 72

[BANFAN]

Are we 8th?

Yes we are, but we need to win one more to be here...for sometime...

[Maysun]

Rankings doesn't matter. Winning the series does. :)

[MyRoom]

Who cares about rankings? we should be proud of Bangladesh's performance.

[mr cricket]

ODI's rankings will be irrelevant after upcoming Champions Trophy is over . Let's just focus on winning the series.

I must say we're getting strong in ODIs.

[deshimon]

We need winning the series ranking will automatically rise. We will be one of the strongest ODI team within few years.

Why irrelevant?? Besides respect...if affects in WC groupings and un officially the FTP ...so it's pretty important.

[Ian Pont]

1 win and you guys discussing rankings... come on bhais, chill and enjoy a series win inshallah

[oronnya]

T20 ranking niyeo to amra onek lafalafi korechhilam pore ki hoyechhilo?? jei lau amra shei kodui roye gechhi.. Let us think about the series win first then the rankings will automatically come...

[Tiger Manc]

^^ it's not everyday we ranked 8th. Your Bangla/Bangla cultural words are improving. :)

[WarWolf]

I want to be 7th in test ranking

[AsifTheManRahman]

A rank is just a number. The way the guys played yesterday and have been playing in ODIs since the Asia Cup, I think it's safe to say we're among the top, possibly #1 or #2 in terms of quality.

BC fanatics are well adept in throwing "gase kathal gofe tel" type comments. Its not their fault; it our national vice.

[Rubu]

I think we have a 100% winning record at this stadium. Let's first focus on keeping it that way. Then winning the series and so on. Ranking is just a side note.

[russell123]

after the 1st one day win against the West Indies....Bangladesh gone ahead of New Zealand and back to no 8 again :)

[Rabz]

Congrats on your first post exactly after two years of your membership !!

[Imteaz]

Congrats Bangladesh & russell123 brother as well :)

Bangladesh should win the series. Otherwise this position will be for 1/2 matches only.

[BANFAN]

There is one more thread ...

Congrats bd and the thread opener...:)

[sharup]

1 win and you guys discussing rankings... come on bhais, chill and enjoy a series win inshallah

inshallah ....made me chuckle coach. This is such a common word even the non-muslims use in Bangladesh at the end of a sentence. Nothing wrong with that though just found it funny.

[Yameen]

Its nice to see but like others are echoing on this thread, it is pretty insignificant at this time and need to push on for a series win

[deshimon]

If we keep our 100% winning record in this stadium tomorrow we keep the records for some times. Otherwise will go back again the same position soon. Hope we continue our winning even winnining the series.

[Purbasha T]

1 win and you guys discussing rankings... come on bhais, chill and enjoy a series win inshallah

We've been winning a few, not just one; eh coach?! :cool:

[Rabz]

I think this ODI ranking is very important for our team.
We are not playing in the Champions Trophy next year simply because we ranked 9th at the cut off period. But if we can maintain this 8th ranking or even go one position up, ie, 7th and actually be the 7th/8th ranking team at the start of Champions Trophy, we can make a statement ourselves.

For now, we should focus one game at a time.
Win matches, ranking will come running towards you.

[BANFAN]

It's not champion's trophy...since there may not be any more champions trophy.

But it's important for WC grouping.... And also for FTP...higher we go, chances of playing more with higher ranked teams increases.

[MarufH]

1 win and you guys discussing rankings... come on bhais, chill and enjoy a series win inshallah

I like how you picked up common bangla terms like bhai, inshallah etc. :up::up::up:

[Murad]

Gained another 4 points in rankings. (http://www.espncricinfo.com/rankings/content/current/page/211271.html) Total 8 points for 2 wins.

WI has 88 points. Series ta win korte parle aro onek close hoye jabe.

[bd fan]

:flag: Bit optimistic, but if we Banglawash WI, will we become 7th? :flag:

[Imtiazk]

According to the Reliance (http://www.icc-cricket.com/match_zone/odi_predictor.php://) predictor, Bangladesh have to win 5 - 0 to go above WI and go to No.7.

4 - 1 is not enough.

[WarWolf]

I don't bother about ranking. If we are consistent enough in ODI matches then higher ranking will automatically come!

:up::up::up:

[deshimon]

Our points increase with jumping but I heard if West Indies won by 5-0, they would gain only 5 points.

[Umar]

InshaAllah is a Bangla term??? hmm :facepalm:

[Nafi]

need an update

[nadim 98]

Still 8th...but not too far away from WI

[deshimon]

We are still 8th ratings of Bangladesh 78 where West Indies 88

[Roni_uk]

but the important thing is first we sent WI to number 9, now its NZ :P

who is next?

[Miraz]

We are still 8th ratings of Bangladesh 78 where West Indies 88

Nope. After today's win, we are on 81 and West Indies 86. For the first time in our hostory we have crossed 80 barrier.

[Habib]

It's just a matter of time before we surpass WI in the ranking.

[Tiger Manc]

Thanks for the info. Is there anyway checking our ODI rankings over the years?

If we won 4-1 would we have been 7th?

[Nafi]

We need to win more series against the top sides at home. And we need to start winning the odd game away.

[MyRoom]

Well the good thing is that New Zealand are playing South Africa AWAY lol so good luck to them in trying to climb above us. Just imagine when New Zealand come here next year.

[Tiger444]

Just need to take it step by step. I'm really looking forward to these rankings mainly because of the upcoming Champions Trophy in May of 2013 in England. If we end up playing in this tournament, it would be a great experience for our players. It would keep our international schedule busy as well.

Yeah ICC missed the trick! there are so many Bangladeshi's like myself that live in England and had Bangladesh been playing, many including me would've actually bought a ticket but now since they're not playing at the moment, there's no point. New Zealand are going to be travelling to England for a series anyway so I don't understand why they need to play in the same country again and maybe give Bangladesh a chance which Bangladesh deserve to play btw.

[MyRoom]

We better not lose to Zimbabwe next year I mean its one of the major reasons why we're not at 90 points because we still lose to teams like Zimbabwe, Ireland etc somehow somewhere.

Well they won't just hand it to us. It is a big tournament and NZ would love to play in it I'm sure. We have to do our part and try to at least be #8 so that we can compete in the tourney. Your right though, this upcoming Zimbabwe series will be crucial. I believe we play 3 ODIS so 1 loss and we could be in serious trouble. Maybe that pressure would help our players stay focused if they really want to be a part of it.

I think that Zimbabwe series will consist of 3 test matches and 5 ODIs as there was a lot of discussion between both boards at the last ICC meeting. New Zealand only has a population of 5 million so they're really a waste in my mind for Bangladesh in that tournament. Amazing though that the number 1 ranked ODI all-rounder won't be playing in that ODI tournament.

[simon]

so what will happen to our ODI ranking if WI get whitewashed by Aussi ? :p

[WorldCup11]

If WI get whitewashed by aussies, they'll still have 84 rating, where BD presently got 78 rating.

However, if Zimbabwe also manage to whitewash them in 3 match ODI series starting from 22nd Feb ,in that case WI rating will come down to 77.

Lets hope for the best :D

forget abt Zim vs WI, how will it be once we whitewash Srilanka? :snob:

[Spiderman]

Stop taking ranking tables seriously! they're a joke with top teams playing more games than lower ranked teams so unevenly distributed. We only played a ridiculous 9 ODI games last year whereas a team like Sri Lanka have played over 30.

[MohammedC]

Use the ICC predictor


http://www.icc-cricket.com/match_zone/odi_predictor.php

[al Furqaan]

They still be ahead of us if they get whitewashed. It will take a few series in the right directions to pass the WI. One good series can put us above NZ though.

We need to have an effective campaign to right this terrible schedule imbalance. Perhaps the associates could be recruited for this cause.

Its our stupid Board and ICC for not doing anything about it. If we are not allowed to play much Test Cricket as top teams fair enough then at least lots of ODIs and T20 Cricket annually i.e. 20-30 ODIs, 8-12 T20s and 5-6 Test matches.

[nadim 98]

We r back at 8th with 82 points. NZ 9th with 81 points and WI 7th with 86 points.


Winning the series against Zim wont be enough to be 7th so have to wait till NZ series.


But if we lose one game vs ZIm, that will cost us 3 points so we better not lose any

[wktkeeper]

thats a great news. i think we deserve to be a number 6/7 team :)

[r56hg]

ICC site shows we are at 9th position with 81 points , NZ at 8th position with 82 points

http://www.icc-cricket.com/match_zone/team_ranking.php

[nadim 98]

^7th is around the corner. if we whitewash Zim and win the series vs NZ, we will be there soon.

6th is tough. about 25+ points behind. Will get their before WC 2015 in sha allah :):fanflag:

no, with this win - we go past NZ.

ICC website says we're 1 point behind.

That is without today's result recorded - go to predictor below that line and pick BD as winner. You will see change.

[Rabz]

To echo with Asaad,
I went to the predictor page yesterday and saw we were on 77 points.
This win would have given us 4 points, taking our tally to 81.
So not sure what's happening.

[kalpurush]

I will be happy when we are #1 :waiting:

Na bhai...ICC already updated, we were at 77 yesterday.

[Miraz]

We are on 81 points after today's match.

[mr cricket]

We will no doubt surpass West Indies soon. Their players only care about T20.

New Zealand is getting strong though with lot of talented young players coming in.
