Australia is atop the Test list, once again: https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/me ... kings/test
India has slipped to third.
Australia also head the international T20 table: https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/me ... kings/t20i
They remain off the pace in ODIs, sitting 5th: https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/me ... nkings/odi
Naturally, the greatest batsman of the last 70 years remains top of the Test rankings - Steve Bradsmith is on 911 points, with daylight second and Kohli third on 886. Pat Cummins tops the bowler rankings by miles with 904.
Warner and Finch are in the top 10 ODI batsmen. Cummins and Starc are in the top 10 bowlers.
Maxy is in the top 10 for T20 batting and all-rounders. Finch, Zampa and Agar also in the top 10s in their categories.
Latest international cricket rankings
Re: Latest international cricket rankings
Flat-Track Bully Smith is not even the best batsman in the country at the moment. The best batsman in the country, Marnus, who of course has a higher Test average than FTB Smith (this number being the only reason anyone overestimates FTB's standing), has a non-Test first-class average of little over 38. That is good indication of how low Test batting has sunk in this era of FTBs and mediocrity.Pies4shaw wrote: Naturally, the greatest batsman of the last 70 years remains top of the Test rankings - Steve Bradsmith is on 911 points, ...

As for Oz... Well, this is a team that could not defeat an England team that was bundled out for 85 by Ireland.
We truly are in an era of mediocrity.
Smith is a flat-track bully.
The evidence is overwhelming.
The excuses for his failures from him or his sycophants are absurd. (e.g. it's just silly him continuing to tell every journalist that Archer "did not get me out", when Archer's harmless bouncer almost knocked him out because of his defective technique.)
