Thank you. ^^ I figured I'd look it up when I got around to actually changing the ranks.

Any chance we could lower the number of posts needed to get to Colly. He isn't going to play forever and I think me getting to Colly might be after he eventually retires.

Done. 1300 for Colly, then 1600 for Chef and 2100 for Shantry.

We'll switch from county to international rankings when Sri's on 1299.

I was joking when I suggested that, however it does look like Sri might be stranded on Gaz Baz! Almost time to change back to international ranks. Here's what we had last time: Salman Butt
Rohit Sharma Majid Haq Pikky Ya France Nasir Jamshed Lega Siaka Kevin O'Brien Peter Borren Elton Chigumbura Kemar Roach Mustafizur Rahman Nathan Lyon Anya Shrubsole Angelo Mathews Shapoor Zadran Brendon McCullum Ellyse Perry Joe Root AB de VilliersDon Bradman Majid, Nasir, Borren, Roach, and (sniff) Shapoor all seem to have fallen out of favour with their respective teams. BMac has retired. I'd say that Shan Masood fits pretty well into the Nasir slot, being equally bobbins. Mohammad Shahzad is about as cultish a hero as Shapoor was. Roach could be replaced by any mediocre Test-playing West Indian (Alzarri Joseph?). We could replace BMac with Kane, but that's two of the Golden Foursome in... and I quite like Jimmy Neesham on Twitter. That still leaves Majid and Borren. Your thoughts, lady and gentlemen. (Also I'm tempted to suggest Gaz Baz as the England representative, for a joke.)

Think Kane for B Mac is brilliant partly because Kane is the best Test batsman in the world, probably just below AB in other two mainly because AB is a genius.
Otherwise, I have no problem with Neesham, who is my hero on Twitter.
Alzarri Joseph will be a legend, mark my words. The lads a teenager and still bowls at 150 kmph. So I won't have him being talked about in the same vein as Roach.
I'd say Gabriel is a good shout to replace him.

He's back off the international radar now, but surely we can't miss the opportunity of having James Vince for 20-35 posts?

Could we keep the county ranks please? Its more fun and more related to the blog, methinks. We might choose from the hits and duds from the current season and use them as rating for the next season. I am thinking something like this:
The potential names for 0 to 50 posts are:
Karl Brown (Potential zero candidate) Andrew Gale (Potential zero candidate) Nick Compton Ian Bell Phil Mustard Sam Robson Arun Harinath Jos Buttler Luke Wright James Vince Jacques Rudolph (Potential zero candidate) Samit Patel a.k.a Mr John Pye

Could go full in joke and go to blog memes... Giant heads, #ballybingo, John Pye auctions, the Leics Twitter account etc. 0 posts can be the not much missed blobmonster
