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)

The ODI Wicketkeeper/ Fielder Rankings 2009 is out! in the Fourth edition of Vineet’s Cricket Rankings ( Check out the ODI Wicketkeeper/ Fielder Rankings 2008 here)!)!

Smith (Netherlands) did well to top this list as he had 13 dismissals in just 6 matches with 12 catches and 1 stumpings. Paine (Australia) did we to enact 24 dismissals though he took 15 matches to do that and could finish second with 20 catches and 4 stumpings. Dhoni like last year dismissed one of the maximum 37 batsmen with 26 catches and 11 stumpings but came 7th in the list. This time the maximum dismissals were made by Sangakkara who dismissed 39 batsmen in 27 matches with 34 catches and 5 stumpings to come 3rd.

The best non-wicketkeeper fielder on the list was Ross Taylor (New Zealand) taking 22 catches in 24 matches he played in 2009. Next best was Misbah-ul-Haq (Pakistan) with 11 catches in 13 matches.

Where are the Top Wicketkeeper/ Fielders of 2008?

Well only Gilchrist stayed put at No. 3 before he retired. Ramdin, Taibu and Sangakkara fell in performance and so did their countries. Matt Prior slid a little from No. 1 to No. 5. 

S.No. Name Country
1 CS Baugh (WI) (out of team)
2 Kamran Akmal (Pak) 4
3 AC Gilchrist (Aus) (retired)
4 MS Dhoni (India) 7
5 MJ Prior (Eng) 13
