Test Trophies League Table

Bizarre that Pakistan and West Indies haven't played in a decade. For reference, Brian Lara was still playing in their most recent series.

They have, this table doesn't count draws. 1-1 in the WI in 2011.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

They won't get to play Pakistan again for a few years

2018 looks like a summer that the stakeholders™ need to have a rapid rethink about. The ECB currently list this as 2 Tests England-Pakistan and 5 Tests England-India.

Oh right. Forgot about that.

10 years between Pakistan/UAE home rubbers though is kinda long

Yeah that's some bull**** there. A 1-1 series after all this would be rancid.

WTF? I was just thinking about the next time Pakistan would tour and zeroed in on 2020 after India 2018 and Ashes 2019. Had no idea Pakistan had slipped to second tier now.

 

[honestbharani]

I am sure they can still make it at least a 3 test series Vs Pak.

Test update

Bit of a kicker for England missing their shot at an unprecedented for them Grand Slam at the Oval. They won't get to play Pakistan again for a few years and in the mean time it'll be tough to hold on to trophies away to India and Australia.

Table:

England 8
Pakistan 7
Australia 6
South Africa 6
India 6
New Zealand 5
Sri Lanka 4
West Indies 2
Bangladesh 1
Zimbabwe 0

Can you extend the spreadsheet to show results of each latest series home and away for every nation? Think that would give a better representation and a better answer to the question in the other thread.

The politicians really need to get their **** together and give us an India-Pakistan series. Funnily enough, the ones we had in the last decade were fairly dull with at least a couple of feather-beds being dished out per series.

Way to miss the point.

Lol, no, think you missed my point here. I understand what this thread is about, but I just asked if by extending this spreadsheet, we can settle the argument in the other thread.

Wasn't it supposedly the way in the 80s as well, since neither team could afford to lose to the other?

 

[StephenZA]

What is good is SA is playing quite a bit in the next 9 months or so; NZ now, Aus in November, SL at home Dec/Jan, then NZ again in NZ in Feb/March, and then we are off to England May till Aug 2017.

Edit: Removed for stupidity of not understanding spread sheet.....

 

[Howe_zat]

India have won the grand slam.

India 9
England 7
South Africa 7
Australia 5
New Zealand 5
Pakistan 5
Sri Lanka 4
West Indies 2
Bangladesh 1
Zimbabwe 0

 

[Compton]

Australia should organise a five test series against Zimbabwe in Australia to give Smith a go at trying to beat Lara's top score.

Although, they should probably try to play one of the ****ing huge number of teams that are currently up on them.

 

[cnerd123]

Can someone do this table where you have the home team down the column and away team on the rows?

Therefore you can see the latest series results for each team at home and away against each opposition. Will give a good visual representation of who is the most winning-est team in recent times. Victor Ian did something similar trying to use the golden ratios to calculate scores.

Looks like Australia need to host England, India and Sri Lanka and play away vs South Africa so that we can complete the set again.

[S.Kennedy]

How literal are you interpreting the word ‘trophy/ies’? You can accuse me of pedantry here but there are - uniquely in test cricket - actually two trophies involved in England and India fixtures. In England there is the Pataudi trophy (held by England since 2011). In India the trophy is the Anthony de Mello Trophy (recently regained by India, 2016 - 17). You have to ‘’do the double’’, home and away, to hold both. (England were the last to hold both upon winning in India, 2012).

 

[jimmy101]

I don't think he's interpreting it that literally.
