Cricket World Ratings 19th January 2017

Two more results with which to update my cricket world ratings: another win for South Africa over Sri Lanka (making their record 3/3 in the current series), and a victory for New Zealand over Bangladesh.   Neither reuslt is surprising, and in consequenc, the latest ratings now look as follows:

India         183    
South Africa  140 +11  
Australia     121    
New Zealand    48 +7   
England        25    
Sri Lanka      18 -12 
Pakistan        2    
West Indies   -58   
Bangladesh   -155  -7  
Zimbabwe     -325

The result in South Africa has completed that series, which now shows up  in the officla ratings too:

India        120
Australia    109
South Africa 107 +5
England      101
Pakistan      97
New Zealand   96
Sri Lanka     92 -4
West Indies   69
Bangladesh    65
Zimbabwe       5 

The main difference being the relatively low status of Pakistan in my list.

Next matches: Bangladesh, who beat England in one game (at home) this winter, play one more match in New Zealand, and then face a near-impossible challenge (according to the statistics) in a single match in India.
