Cricket World Ratings 26th November 2024

India were recently whitewashed at home by New Zealand, the sort of thing that just doesn't happen.  But they've bounced right back, winning the first game on their tour of Australia. Less suprisingly, West Indies have just won at home against Bangladesh.  My ratings now look like this:

1. Australia     246 -34
2. India         192 +34
3. New Zealand   184
4. South Africa  159
5. England       136
6. Sri Lanka      95 
7. Pakistan       49
8. West Indies    -6 +10 
   
9. Bangladesh   -115 -11               
   
10. Zimbabwe     -296
    
11. Ireland      -300   
12. Afghanistan  -343 

Meanwhile the official ratings have just incorporated the previous results from India, although they give New Zealand a little less credit than mine do:

1. Australia     124 
2. India         111 -10
   
3. South Africa  105  
   
4. England       103 
5. New Zealand   100 +11 
6. Sri Lanka      91  
7. Pakistan       86
8. West Indies    77 
9. Bangladesh     64      
10. Ireland        26  
11. Zimbabwe        4 
12. Afghanistan     0
    

Tomorrow, two new series get underway: South Africa host Sri Lanka, while England are playing in New Zealand.
