I must have a bit of Indian in me somewhere coz I finally nutted it out. You get 12 points for a win and 4 points for a "No Result" which everybody else calls a draw. Look at the 2nd graphic. You do get deducted points for slow over-rates. There may be other ways to get points deducted but I don't know what they are. This is the current table (Friday morning 25/3/24 Thai Time) So look at India. Played 9 games so a possible maximum of 108 points. So 6 wins and 1 draw gives them 76 points minus a 2-point deduction for slow over rates in their loss in the 1st Test against South Africa So 74 out of a possible 108 is 68.51% Australia lost 10 points for a slow over-rate in the drawn Test at Manchester England are the worst culprits as they lost points in 4 out of the 5 Ashes Tests for slow over-rates It can be seen here If Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh later today, England will be last on the table. However, if, and it is a big if, England win their next 6 Tests at home against the Windies and Sri Lanka this northern summer, they will improve to 48.43% (93 points out of a possible 192 points), good weather and no slow over-rate penalties permitting. Just wondering if slow over rates are still a tactic in Test cricket? The West Indies always did it in the 70s & 80s before the rules were changed to a minimum amount of overs in a day's play. They got it down to 8-9 overs per hour. How can you score runs if you don't face enough balls? Surely, in the "Spirit of Cricket", England would not stoop to these tactics? Just a wind-up, lads
