The current (as 0f 4/3/24) WTC Points Table
Sometimes I wonder if my mind is going as I reach my senior years.
I understand that because not every team can play the same number of Tests over a qualifying period, the ladder is determined by a winning percentage.
Is that right?
If so, then India winning 5 from 8 should be 62.5%
New Zealand is OK
Australia 7 from 11 is 63.63% according to my Chinky phone calculator. Normally I do these in my head.
Bangladesh is OK
Pakistan 2 from 5 should be 40%
West Indies and South Africa are OK
England 3 from 9 should be 33.33%, not 19.44%
Sri Lanka is the easiest of the lot to work out
Looking at the points side of things, it seems that you get 12 points for winning a Test.
Again NZ, Banglas, Windies, Saffas are all ok
Australia, Pakistan, and England have their points reduced somehow. I assume slow over rates? Really?
England are only getting 7 points for each winning Test
And fucking India somehow gets extra points for winning a Test
Does anyone know how this all works?
