Cricket ratings

The various ICC (previously PWC) rating systems have been updated in light of the recently completed test series. Unfortunately this isn't very exciting news. The main reason it isn't interesting is that the new ratings website is both boring and difficult to navigate. But don't worry, I have done the difficult work for you and found the ratings that matter. Not that they are that much more interesting. The team rating has barely changed and we remain ranked at 7th, above the West Indies and below South Africa. And there are no New Zealanders in either of the individual top 10s. Stephen Fleming is our top ranked batsman at 24th, and Daniel Vettori is our best ranked bowler at 18th. Chris Martin (23rd) and James Franklin (35th) are notable risers amongst the bowlers while Lou Vincent has rapidly climbed to 37th in the batting stakes, one place below Hamish Marshall.
