           Series

Australia    197  113   29   55   45  12   870.1  4.42
England      239  118   39   82   45  24   888.8  3.72
West Indies  123   54   21   48   24  12   443.0  3.60
South Africa 106   49   17   40   20  11   338.4  3.19
Pakistan     124   48   34   42   18  20   338.0  2.73
India        133   47   30   56   15  13   339.1  2.55
Sri Lanka     87   31   20   36    8  10   188.6  2.17
New Zealand  136   29   35   72   11  11   225.5  1.66
Zimbabwe      43    5    7   31    2   2    32.6  0.76
Bangladesh    35    2    0   33    1   0     9.6  0.27

TBH, it comes as a huge surprise to see Pakistan only marginally ahead of India. I've always expected they'd be well ahead of us in the overall picture, thanks to their bowlers. Ananth Narayanan reckons India will even overtake Pakistan in this analysis over the next couple of years if present trends continue.


If so, conclusively proves that batsmen > bowlers [/agenda]

Why does the total no. of series add up to an odd number?

EDIT: hmm.

Out of these 605, three have been triangular tournaments.

EDIT: EDIT: Wait it doesn't add up to 605 either

I haven't read the article though maybe the answer is in it

Our away record is woeful.

Why does the total no. of series add up to an odd number?

Probably because the ICC World XI played one series and they aren't on the table.

Our away record is woeful.

Would have been much worse if not for the last decade and our ascent to #1

The gap must have reduced in the recent times don't think Pakistan has won a series for the past 4 years.

Our away record is woeful.

It will keep improving
