i think Misbah Ul Haq has been prolific since his return to international cricket. what number is he??

He is 17th, however, I agree he should be up considering his average was well above 60 I think.

When you don't perform well and are not playing a match you lose points, not sure by how much but quite a few points are lost.

THe thing with Tendulkar is that after this English tour they might have a tour in Sub-Continents which will obviously have dead pitches and Tendulkar will come out and score a double century and get lots of points.

I think the point system should work based on where you perform and fail because performing in batting in England is not as easy as India and you can take Tendulkar's record for that. HE is considered as a 'God' in cricket and funny thing is that he has not scored a single century in a country where cricket was founded.

just to clear things up, the rankings are done be means of an algorithm which accounts for the opposition, the scores of other players and the result, so gooch's 150 odd against the windies got him more points than his 333 and 100 against India at lords. Brian Lara's 150 against Australia won him more points than his 375... I hope that makes sense.
so tendulkar needed to score big against Eng's highly rated attack. he is higher than dravid because he has had a brilliant 18 months, whereas dravid was almost dropped after the India tour to Australia and has only recently come back into form.
