ODI Rankings 2009 are out!

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:20:04 +0000

My Cricket player rankings are out! And you won’t be able to easily guess who is the Most Valuable Player!!
A Total of 368 players took the field in 2009 as against 369 in 2008 (considering that a couple of new teams like UAE and HK also played, this number is much smaller than in 2007).

I have put out different ODI Ranking lists for teams and players. Do check each one out!

ODI Batsmen Rankings 2009 (all teams)
ODI Bowler Rankings 2009 (all teams)
ODI Best Wicketkeepers/ Fielders 2009 (all teams)
ODI Most Valuable Players - All Rounders 2009 (all teams)
ODI Team Rankings 2009 (all teams)

You can check out previous year’s rankings here (ODI Team Rankings 2008)

There are many good players waiting to be born out there. There are some players from unknown countries who if perform as per their statistics would become Superstars, or other perish their records accumulated against similar unknown nations.
Did you know there is an allrounder called “RN ten Doeschate” who plays for Netherlands? Well if you check out his performance, he was the Most Valuable Player of 2006 and 2007!! But in 20087 he got to play just 2 matches - so he could not be ranked. Just for the record, if he was ranked he would have got 84.2 points (that’s higher than Ajantha Mendis - the No. 1 MVP of 2008 got!!) Thats a lot of talent being wasted - ICL and IPL are you listening?? Well check out the complete rankings now!!

Well, Ajantha Mendis appeared from nowhere and shot right to the top of the list as MVP 2008 (most valuable player)

ODI Most Valuable Players 2009 (all teams)

Vineet’s ODI Most Valuable Players 2008 (all teams) Rankings are out! You can check out the ODI Most Valuable Players 2008 here

Ajantha Mendis of Sri Lanka has appeared out of nowhere to Top the MVP list of 2008! No wonders he was single handedly responsible for the destruction of India and some other teams. He made this list almost entirely on his bowling performance. He scored just 57 runs in 18 matches he played, nevertheless at an average of 19.0 at an amazing strike rate of 103.63!! But wait, while bowling he took 48 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 10.12 RPW at a strike rate of just 16.9 balls to finish with an enviable economy rate of 2.58!! He also took 3 catches. What an awesome package!! He beat the likes of Flintoff, Sehwag, Pollock, Afridi, Maharoof, Yuvraj, Kallis, and Gayle just like that!

Andrew Flintoff of England came second with an average of 50.16 at a phenomenal strike rate of 109.05 (that’s better than most batsmen) while scoring 301 runs in 11 matches he played. He took 17 wickets at an average of 21.17 RPW at a strike rate of 28.4 balls and eco rate of 4.46!! He also took 2 catches.

Virender Sehwag’s explosive batting took him to the third position. In 18 matches he played, he scored 893 runs at an average of 49.61 at a good strike rate of 120.02. He made the list entirely on his batting prowess. Nevertheless he took 8 wickets at an average of 39.5 RPW and a strike rate of 42.6 t 5.56 RPO. He also took 5 catches.

Jacob Oram of New Zealand made this list at No. 4 based on his allround performance. In 18 matches he played, he scored 319 runs at an average of 45.57 at a good strike rate of 98.76. He also took 11 wickets at an average of 28.0 RPW and a strike rate of 49.6 t 3.38 RPO. He also took 7 catches.

Shaun Pollock of South Africa is a renowned allrounder but this time made this list mainly based on his bowling performance. He took 14 wickets at an average of 15.85 strike rate of 24.5 in just 6 matches he played. Moreover he gave a miserly 3.88 RPO. He also took 7 catches and scored 43 runs at an average of 43.0 and didn’t even waste balls with a strike rate of 95.5, which also contributed a little bit towards him reaching the fifth spot.

Steve Tikolo of Kenya edged out others to get to the fifth spot by scoring 447 runs at an average of 34.38 at a strike rate of 74.62 in 19 matches he played. He took 23 wickets at an average of 25.43 RPW at a strike rate of 34.2 balls. He also took a phenomenal 23 catches. Steve Tikolo was no. 3 last year so retaining a top 5 position is commendable and it establishes him as one of the leading allrounders in one day cricket today.

ODI Batsmen Rankings 2009 (all teams)

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:15:27 +0000

Well January is back, and so is the Fourth edition of Vineet’s Cricket Rankings (check out the ODI Batsmen Rankings 2008 here)! And though there are some surprises, the top of the heap is captured by none other than one of the most explosive cricketers of 21st century - Virender Sehwag!! However he was relegated to the second spot this time by a new star who took every team by storm. Tillekaratne Dilshan of Sri Lanka was the most explosive batsman on scene in 2009. He scored 1000 runs averaging 55.6 in just 19 matches and a strike rate of 103.2. Although he way beyond Sehwag’s strike rate of 136.6 but his astonishing average pipped Sehwag by miles. He smashed 4 centuries and 2 half-centuries on the way to achieving this.

He is followed by Virender Sehwag who scored 810 runs in just 20 matches at a nice average of 45.0 (lower than last year) at an extra-ordinary strike rate of 136.6 (much higher than last year)!! He smashed 3 century and 2 half-centuries on the way to achieving this. Not to be left behind, Sachin Tendulkar emerged like a Phoenix to finish 3rd this year scoring 962 runs in 21 matches at a very high average of 54 at a good strike rate of 94!! He smashed 3 centuries and 3 half-centuries on the way to achieving this. AB DeVilliers (AVE 54.4 SR 92.8), McCallum of Scotland (AVE 70.5 SR 89.5) and Chris Gayle (AVE 39.5 SR 117.5) follow at 4,5 and 6. So the year 2009 was heavily dominated by Indian Batsmen. South African batsmen to some extent also shone but were far away from the Indians, and the Australian Team trails at no. 3.

But then who are the teams of 2009? Well India is right there at the top with 6 batmsen in Top 30. And next are South Africa and Australia. South Africahas 5 batsmen in top 30 and Australia has 4 batsmen in top 30.

ODI Bowler Rankings 2009 (all teams)

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:14:51 +0000

The ODI Bowler’s Ranking 2009 is out! in the Fourth edition of Vineet’s Cricket Rankings (Check out the ODI Bowler Rankings 2008 here)! And there are lots of surprises here, in fact, the bowling Top 30 almost got entirely revamped with a lot of new bowlers coming in. The biggest setback was that Australians, South Africans and Sri Lankans who were at the Top just slipped away and the minnows dominating this year’s list. Is there an uprising on the horizon?

At the top of the heap is Mashrafe Mortaza of Bangladesh, who captured 14 wickets in the just 6 matches he played at 10.92 apiece. And he spent a miserly 2.78 runs per over to land right on top. He emerged out of nowhere in 2008 to be at the top in 2009. That’s really an awesome talent to watch out for. He has been performing for Bangladesh for quite some time now and has been in this site’s Top 30 lists for 3 times earlier too.

David Johnston of Ireland came a surprise second taking 13 wickets in 7 matches at 14.46 apiece. And he spent a miserly 3.02 runs per over to land right on top at the second place.

Shiferli of Netherlands was 3rd claiming 16 wickets in 6 matches at 15.06 runs per wicket and an economy rate of 4.25 rpo

Abdul Razzak of Bangladesh was 4th claiming 22 wickets in 8 matches at 15.09 runs per wicket and an economy rate of 4.69 rpo. Shakib Al Hassan, again of Bangladesh took the 5th spot claiming 26 wickets in 19 matches at 22.88 apiece at a very miserly economy rate of 3.48 rpo. (there is no Indian in the list!!)

IPL 2009 Player Rankings - MVP (Most Valuable Person)

admin — Sun, 24 May 2009 19:23:42 +0000

This website had introduced the system of MVP long back, which has now become a standard term, the world over, to define what was earlier termed as an all-rounder.

This edition of IPL has again thrown up new talent and the most exciting amongst them in Manish Pandey (Kungfu Panda). However, the MVP of this edition was clearly Matthew Hayden of Chennai Super Kings. He got 572 runs at an average of 52 and a strike rate of 144.81. He struck 5 half-centuries in the process and hit 22 sixes and 60 fours. He also took 5 catches.

Next of course was van Wyk of Kolkata Knight Riders, who in just 5 matches scored 167 runs at an average of 55.66 runs at a strike rate of 126.51. He also came out as the best fielder grabbing 7 catches.

Manish Pandey (Kungfu Panda) scored 168 runs in the 5 matches he got at an average of 84 and a strike rate of 142.37. In the process he hit one century and struck 4 sixes and 17 fours. His fielding too was amazing and he took 4 catches besides saving many runs. If there is a possibility, he should be included in the Indian T20 team immediately.

Here’s a list of Top 10 MVPs:

S. No. Player Team
1 ML Hayden Chennai Super Kings
2 MN van Wyk Kolkata Knight Riders
3 M Pandey Royal Challengers Bangalore
4 AB de Villiers Delhi Daredevils
5 JP Duminy Mumbai Indians
6 AC Gilchrist Deccan Chargers
7 SK Raina Chennai Super Kings
8 TM Dilshan Delhi Daredevils
9 DR Smith Deccan Chargers
10 HH Gibbs Deccan Chargers

IPL T20 Team Rankings 2009

admin — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:41:25 +0000

Well the tournament has begun and looking at first few matches. I would stick my neck out and try and make a few predictions. Well looks like CSK, DD and KXIP are the best bets for semifinals. And a toss up between MI, RCB, and DC for the last berth. However, RR and KKR look weaker in my analysis.

Chennai Super Kings - MS Dhoni, Flintoff, Hayden, Raina - 14.25
(others: Badrinath, Balaji, Fleming, Gony, Ntini)

Delhi Daredevils - Gambhir, Sehwag, Vettori - 13.5
(others: Collingwood, DeVilliers, Dilshan, McGrath, Maharoof, Warner)

Kings XI Mohali - Yuvraj, Brett Lee, Shaun Marsh, Sangkarra - 13
(others: Bopara, Katich, Hopes, Pathan)

Mumbai Indians - Jaysuriya, Tendulkar, Harbhajan, Zaheer - 11.75
(others: Bravo, Duminy, Malinga)

Royal Challengers, Bangalore - Kevin Pietersen, Dale Steyn, Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor - 11.75
(others: Praveen Kumar, Kallis, Virat Kohli)

Deccan Chargers, Hyderabad - Symonds, Styris - 11.5
(others: Gilchrist, Edwards, Gibbs, Rohit Sharma, Vaas, Venugopal Rao)

Kolkata Knight Riders - Brendon McCullum, Gayle - 10.25
(others: Ganguly, Mortaza, Mendis, David Hussey, Ishant Sharma)

Rajasthan Royals, Jaipur - Shane Watson, Mascarenhas - 7.75
(others: Graeme Smith, Munaf Patel, Yusuf Pathan)
