What would be Pakistans rating if they beat australia, now its showing 129, would it go up or stay the same
India has played substantially higher number of matches during the review period but we were being led to believe by Indian PP'ers that India does not even care about T20s![]()
Thanks to our neighbors SL and Ban
Then why are Pak blamed for accumulating cheap rating points by beating easy opposition?
Those who do that, do it just for the sake of it. If you win 5 matches against Minnows you won't get more than 2 pts. Hence it's not going to do u any good. Every team deserves where it is in the Rankings.
Pakistan are #1 team. If anyone says that their own team is #1, then they should over take Pakistan
and if india win tom?

Why humiliating?
He called India and England the top 2 one day sides, which they are. And Pakistan the best T20I side, which they are.
Who is being humiliated?

You didn't read between the lines.![]()
Again, I am not sure whats wrong with that?
Is it humiliating when Pakistan is playing, and someone says India is the no.1 Test side and Pakistan 7th?

Bhai there is nothing wrong.
That bit was for [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] who I haven't seen in the past couple of days.
After the initial loss to Australia, we were apparently badly humiliated and shown our rightful place as a mid-table team.
But even if you are are addressing mamoon, how is it humiliating for India
With India losing today too england...how many points will they be at

What I'm hearing after some people feeling vindicated over Atherton's comment is:
GOREI ABBU ATHERTON THANK YOU FOR CALLING US BRILLIANT!
[trans: Oh White Papa Athers!]
Don't get me wrong, Athers is my favourite ex-cricketer in the media. I just don't understand how excited some people are getting just because Michael Atherton or a white person said it.
This mentality isn't new or specific to Pakistan but as a Pakistani I have more examples of it than of other places.

It's not about Athers being white.
It's about us being #1, which people from other cricketing nations also accept and acknowledge, yet we have a few fans who will still say that we are rubbish and that we should be mid-table etc. etc.

Its all about a neutral person saying that Pakistan is the well deserved number 1 team. Had it been Michael holding, we would have said the same thing. Maybe you need to reconsider how judgmental you are and how early you jump to conclusions so that the next time you dont mouth off unnecessarily like that.
Ranked #1 just by fluking 9 series in a row, India are much better at bowling batting fielding and even taking reviews![]()
T20 ranking is utter joke. It's jumping and downing is huge.

It's for all teams. T20I rankings are extremely volatile.Jumping? What jumping? You lot have been stuck at #10 for as long as I can remember![]()
Credit to Pakistan for consistently delivering good performance in T20s.
However, they should set higher bar for themselves and try to maintain top 3 position in both ODIs and Tests. T20 formats is not that relevant enough.
LOL.Why so serious? Even BCCI doesn't take T20 Internationals seriously. Only recently we had sent teams specifically for T20 otherwise its just ODI team themselves playing T20s at the end of every series.And IPL is a revenue generating system for BCCI and it has helped in bettering the infrastructure, coaching standards and fitness culture.India have IPL and its now bigger then test cricket in India. Every Indian aspires to play IPL not represent India. And of course no Pakistani is allowed in IPL.
So what better riposte- what better kick in the teeth - what better irony - then seeing your arch enemy at number in the format you think you own and have a divine right to reign over??? Hilarious!!
Pakistan was at number 9 after the Bangladesh series in 2015. It will take time for this team to undo the damage Misbah-ul-haq and Azhar Ali did to the ODI teamCredit to Pakistan for consistently delivering good performance in T20s.

No. Bangladesh wouldn't have been stuck at #10 forever if they were that volatile.
The ranking isnt just about BD. West Indies are two times World champions, Sri Lanka had most appearances in T20 final. However they are both now ranked lower in the order.
Since its T20 ranking is less important here because anybody can win on a given day.
What are you on about? The WC was 2 years ago. Its been a long time. The current ODI World champions are ranked number 6, will you say the same about ODI rankings now? Its truly despicable how some fans refuse to accept facts.
It's just T20 man, accept what facts. Not all fans are delusional. It is a known fact that WI is one of if not THE BEST Powerful T20 side. 2 years is not that long time ago, if the WC was held today they would still be one of the favorite to win.
The current ODI champions are number 6, and your point? How does that relate to T20?
The current ODI champion would still be favorite to win WC over PAK/NZ/SA any given day as they are going through transition.

The only one delusional here is YOU my friend. The fact that you are saying that Windies are the best t20I team when they have been getting destroyed since 2016 every time. Heck, your hapless team even beat them just recently.
You said t20I rankings dont mean much because t20I champions are ranked low, i asked you if you will apply the same logic for ODIs where ODI World champions are ranked 6. Please try to follow your own line of argument so that i dont have to break it down for you, its annoying.
Theres no cure to delusion and the one on the India's east is too strong.
WI won World T20 TWICE, name me one other country who has done that?
I did not say, T20 ranking are meaningless, show me where I said that. I said since its T20 rankings play less part. Yes, even our hapless team managed to get into Asia cup final on T20 even though it is ranked extremely low.
The ODI champions are ranked low now, but they are still more favorite to win the world cup over PAK/NZ/SA any given day of the week. They will also climb back up in ranking once all their top players returns.
Only one who is delusional is you. Once again, before you start to talk, name me just ONE country who has won more World T20 than WI.
This image is cause for heartburn for many "Pakistanis"
Yes.T20 rankings mean nothing where most teams rest their main players except ICC tourney
Yes.
India along with the other big boys indeed do not take these T20 series with great attention.
Which he is why the likes of Kohli, Pandya, Rahul, Sharma, Dhawan, Butler, Wiley, Hales, Root, Morgan, Ali, Plunkett, etc, played in the recent T20 series which India won 2-1.
Please find another excuse.
That was only because it was a tour consisting of ODIs and Tests as well. Sending a seperate team for 3 T20s only and then flying main team out for rest of the tour would have been costly. If it was a T20 exclusive series, no doubt main players would have rested...like in Nidahas Trophy.
