dhoni tops icc rankings

if you've been around a while you may already know my views on these rankings 

common clobber i know they aren't perfect but still he has worked hard and i just want to say that those who r saying that he is a crap player r all incorrect. the rankings do not prove that he is the best at the present but they prove that he is one of the best.  he is a good batsman and i feel that we should give him some credit.

common AK we know he has a long way to go. he is very good but its too early to say that he is the best. he has to compete with players like ponting,dravid,inzy etc. but if any of us doubt his abilities, we should see the stats and look at his scores in the matches india have won in chasing. he is able to handle the pressure and he can play sensible as well as attacking cricket. he has played a very imp. role in india's record for chasing.

Exactly.

Dhoni will perform all right especially in Australia

I don't always agree with MiNiWaRnEy but I am with him 100% on this

they seem to be based on very short term periods - to be number one you should have had to prove yourself against all countries in all conditions

i m also saying he is not the best but many of the members feel that he is a crap and i just want to say that these ranks r not that rubbish that they will put a crap player in the first slot. he must be having some stuff and thats why he is there at the top. of course he can't be compared with the likes of ponting,dravid,inzy etc but surely he can be compared with the new players who r similar to him,i.e who have played less matches but have a very good avg and s.r.

id like to see how he copes in england, new zealand, asutralia and south africa, then you will be able to see how good he is, forget the rankings, ricky ponting is the best player in both forms of the game at present, and that is a strong comment from me considering im an englishmen!

Exactly, well said.

I never stated that you said that infact I didn't pick out anyone I was just saying people talked about him as though as he was Geriant Jones.Don't worry about different pitches there all the same a 20 yard pitch with a bit of grass on it,hard and the usual it dosent matter what he pitch is right Dhoni is the No.1 ODI batsman

we wil see anil!

and all the inidan members are all in love with the players for india!!!

He's done very well to get to No.1 in the ICC ranking's which you could say is a load of crap Dhoni may not deserve No.1 yet but he certainley deserve's to be in the top.3 he certainly worked hard to get to where he is now No.1

No
