We are #1 !!

<p>#1 in T20 and #2 in ODI's, not fucken bad.</p>
<p>#5? in Tests.</p>

Shitballs. <br><br>
Great days to be a BCs fan (or bandwagoner)

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

<p>Some serious talent in that photo who've contributed mightily to the cause.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice photobomb from Sodhi and Ronchi too.....</p>

<p>I was with you on Ronchi, but Sodhi was excellent on the subcontinent... </p>

<p>Yep Sodhi did very well when he played, Ronchi must be gone now though.</p>

<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>Yep, so not any good cricketers.  Except Gayle who has played 100+ tests.</p>

Define "cricketer"

<p>The guy in your profile pic is a good start :)</p>

The guy that invented cricket max?

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

<p> </p>
<p>Top 10 T20 batsman... not seeing a lot of gumby's</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1              889         V. Kohli</p>
<p> 2             803         A.J. Finch</p>
<p> 3             754         M.J. Guptill</p>
<p> 4             750         J.E. Root</p>
<p> 5             741         F. du Plessis</p>
<p> 6             719         K.S. Williamson</p>
<p> 7             713         A.D. Hales</p>
<p> 8             696         C.H. Gayle</p>
<p> 9             677         H. Masakadza</p>
<p> 10          674         Mohammad Shahzad</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tho' I do confess to having no idea who Masakadza is... but Kane, Kohli & Root will all be legends</p>

I wonder why Steve Smith, Hashim Amla, Younus Khan and Adam Voges aren't in the top 10? I mean they are all top 10 test batsmen, and well any gumby can play T20, so I can't understand why they wouldn't do well in that format?
