Re: Re: Re: .. by sunil vaidya on Jun 05, 2014 08:09 AM your facts are wrong dreamer formerlytaklu. it is dhoni who lead india to rank 1    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: .. by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 05, 2014 02:33 PM i guess dhoni's luck ran out. everything went downhill for dhoni starting from our last tour to england. my facts & stats are always correct. in the april 1 cutoff when sa was awarded the test mace, sa was at 127 and aus at 115, a good 12 pts behind. later this was recalibrated on may 1 to put both at 123 .    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: .. by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 05, 2014 02:38 PM basically now with the recalibration..aus are on 3950 points from 32 games (this figure is from official icc page), now do some simple math..making their rating 3950/32 = 123.4375 (icc displays this as the nearest integer which is 123..) for sa , 2831 from 23 games which is ~123.0870 subtract the figures and you get ~0.3505 or ~0.35 as i stated in my post.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: .. by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 05, 2014 02:41 PM and with the recalibration, the 2010-11, and 2011-12 points that sa was awesome in got just 50% weightage...only 2013-14 got 100% weightage, and aus benefitted from 5-0 ashes victory, plus, the points lost by aus in its 4-0 loss to india got halved ...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: .. by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 05, 2014 02:42 PM wait, rather 10-11 got dropped off, and 11-12 AND 12-13 got halved..in it aus lost 4-0 to us. ..so tabulating it, now aus is just ~0.35 above sa. Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Now no one dominated comprehensively by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 04, 2014 07:14 PM sa has been consistent home and away.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Now no one dominated comprehensively by Sunil Vaidya on Jun 04, 2014 10:18 PM yes, it loses as many at home as they lose away...in fact nobody loses more at home than SA...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Now no one dominated comprehensively by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 05, 2014 02:18 AM moving in circles are we? just how many times do you want me to present facts on these threads? :) the last time we had a sort of a debate on the subject of dhoni/smith/sa you were the one armed with incorrect facts and consequently abandoned the exchange hmm...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Now no one dominated comprehensively by sunil vaidya on Jun 05, 2014 08:11 AM just because you dont have facts supporting your biasedness you are hiding behind what you call as facts    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Now no one dominated comprehensively by dreamer formerlytaklu on Jun 05, 2014 02:46 PM let me know when did dhoni last win a test away? (note: away is not one central location) Forward   |   Report abuse
