New Zealand's Boult moves up to fourth position in ODI bowling rankings
New Zealand's Trent Boult has moved up three places to fourth in the International Cricket Council One-Day International bowling rankings ©Getty Images New Zealand's Trent Boult has moved up three places to fourth in the International Cricket Council (ICC) One-Day International (ODI) bowling rankings after his team completed a 3-0 home series victory over the West Indies in Christchurch yesterday. The left-arm pace bowler, who finished last year as the top-ranked bowler in ODIs, has leapfrogged the Australia pair of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood as well as South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada after finishing with 10 wickets in the series. This included a career-best haul of seven for 34 in the second match in Christchurch. Boult’s team-mate Mitchell Santner has moved into the top 10 after finishing with three for 15 in his only appearance in the series. The left-arm spinner has gained four places to reach 10th position after his fine performance in the final match, which was reduced to 23 overs per side and which the home side won by 66 runs. New Zealand’s Doug Bracewell is also a big mover, up 15 places to 77th. Pakistan pace bowler Hasan Ali is top of the latest rankings, which marks the last update of 2017. India captain Virat Kohli remains at the summit of the ODI batting rankings. This comes despite him slipping in the Twenty20 International rankings for batsmen after missing the recent three-match home series against Sri Lanka. New Zealanders Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls were the other main gainers among batsmen.
About the author
Guyana Diaspora Forum
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
