Cricket World Ratings 11th April 2022

 

South Africa have just completed an easy win over Bangladesh, winning both test in a two test home series. These results were more or less as predicted, and make little difference to my test world ratings:

1. India         241 
   
2. Australia     232 
   
3. New Zealand   189 
4. South Africa  173  +7 
   
5. Pakistan      111  
6. England        69 
   
7. Sri Lanka      33  
8. West Indies    -9   
   
9. Bangladesh   -117  -7      
   
10. Zimbabwe     -280    
    
11. Afghanistan  -303 
    
12. Ireland      -339 
    

The official ratings are likewise little changed:

1. Australia     119
   
2. India         118
3. New Zealand   115
4. South Africa  102 +1
5. England        97
6. Pakistan       93 
7. Sri Lanka      81 
   
8. West Indies    81 
9. Bangladesh     51 -2  
   
10. Zimbabwe       31

But there's no more test cricket scheduled for a month, when Bangladesh will be in action again, this time at home against Sri Lanka.
