Talk:ICC men's player rankings

message: Should this be at plain ICC Cricket Ratings, with a redirect from here? It seems likely that the ratings' sponsors will change at some point, but considerably less likely that they'll lose ICC backing. Loganberry (Talk) 18:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Page move suggestion

message: I see that Sachin Tendulkar has now been removed from the peak of over 900 ratings, I just wanted to ask what the reason was and whether it was simply because Sachin didn't have a peak of over 900, something which I do find somewhat difficult to believe.

replies: text: Sachin's peak ICC rating is a little under 900. This is not uncommon even for great batsmen, he is right next to Hammond and Lara in the list. Sutcliffe who never averaged below 60 peaked lower than Sachin. It is simply a reflection that these guys havn't had extended runs of great form without interuption that the guys with higher scores have. Missing tests affects a players score as does team success (or lack of it). The strength of the opposition bowling attack and the number of total runs in a game also hit the final score. Sachin has at times had injury problems which will have dragged his score down. More importantly he has simply never had a run of form comparable to say Ponting's or Yousuf's recent form. The rating is a weighted average that while considering the whole career is more affected by recent matches. Without an uninterrupted run of great form he simply woon't be able to top 900. It is neither bias nor incorrect,merely a reflection of his and the other players career records. --LiamE 01:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't see any inconsistancy there at all. Those names listed without exception were exceptional bowlers. Laker would have joined them in the 900 plus league if his bowling was as consistently successful. After his 19 for match figures he only ever took 5 wickets in an innings again twice and not for another 15 matches or so. Had he had a few more good matches just after his 19 for his peak would certainly have topped 900. Laker, like Tendulkar as a batsman, peaked at a little under 900 and is in very good company - between Freddy Trueman and Ray Lindwall. So no, the list isn't wrong and the same calculation is used for everyone from the begining of test cricket till today. --LiamE 01:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  how do they calculate the ratings? 

message: This is blatently not true. DOn Bradman is the one with the highest all time ranking, not Tendulkar. And Irfan Pathan certainly isn't the highest ranked bowler of all time. Can we fix it?!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.48.114 (talk) 22:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

text: As you can see, Imran Khan is 6th on the list above. Afridi had a peak Test all-rounder rating of 218 and never ranked above 9th in the World. In ODIs his peak rating was 383, though I have not checked how that would sit on an all-time list. Spike 'em (talk) 09:46, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggested correction 

message: Sponsor has changed to MRF (as can be seen on the ICC website).
I can find a press release that announces them as GLobal Partner, but nothing that specifically states that they will sponsor both the player and team ratings.
I have also removed the old logo, and whilst I can add the new one, I don't own the copyright to it.
Can anyone help out here? Spike 'em (talk) 09:16, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Why start this in 1998, and what does it add to the list that isn't in the players above 900 and end of year lists? it would also require quite a bit of WP:OR to make sure the list is complete. Spike 'em (talk) 16:00, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
