Default Poll 3: Really?

Most of you do not want shomman jonok porajoy yet you want a higher ranking? Those two do go together.

You have no clue how ranking is done, do you?

Before the WC we were higher than WI in ranking. From ICC Website:
FEBRUARY 2011
Team Rating
8 Bangladesh 67
9 West Indies 66
Last Updated: Fri, Mar 25, 2011

Then we played both the same opponents in the WC: Lost to Ind, SA.
BD beat England, Ireland and Holland.
WI beat Banglandesh, Ireland and Holland.

BD should have remained in #8 because of the opponents ranking. But that wasn't the case. Current ranking shows from ICC website:

Rank Team Matches Points Ranking
8 West Indies 27 1831 68
9 Bangladesh 38 2573 68

The only major reason BD and WI switched places because of margin of loss. Now you like Shomman jonok porajoy? (if you did vote #8 is better than #9 or #1 dreamer in Poll 2.)
