Well deserved

This list says it all.  Pant is out of commission and that means India, a supposed batting powerhouse, has zero  batsmen in the top 10.  Deservedly so.

Babar Azam in the list is a joke.

Australia has 4 batsmen !! wow.

If BCCI still doesn't wakes up...  It would be better they just disband it or something.  Zero output & professionalism or even accountability.

Brilliant batsman. The most complete batsman I have ever witnessed after SRT.

I hardly keep track of these rankings!  Y'day was Labuschagne, today is Root, and tomorrow it could be someone else.

Smith has owned Root in every single Ashes series they have featured in, both in Eng and Aus. Will this past his prime version of Smith outbat peak Root this summer? Top 100 by Smith here, let's see what the computer ranked #1 does!!!!!

Root is wasting his form. Reverse scooping sies are fine. But extreme high risk tasking like afridi has reduced his chances of scoring big. Smith on the other hand plays percentage cricket and maximizes whatever form he has.
