DoG's Test and ODI Team Ratings- Update Thread

Days of Grace

International Captain
Having settled on a formula for rating test and one-day international teams across history, I have made this thread to post updates in the current standings and to answer any questions on how the formula works and what were the ratings of teams in the past.

For now, I will post the current ratings of the teams and will give a brief introduction of the formula.

Current Test Teams
India 120.06
South Africa 119.09
Australia 117.23
New Zealand 105.11
Sri Lanka 99.36
England 99.18
Pakistan 98.03
West Indies 84.82
Bangladesh 79.52
Zimbabwe 64.73

South Africa are set to assume the no.1 rating if they beat India in the 3rd and final test. New Zealand will have it's highest ever rating if they win their next test match against England (previous highest of 106.11 in 2004 after beating South Africa in Auckland).

One-Day International Teams (Played at least 25 matches and played within the last five years)
England 125.03
South Africa 122.55
India 122.42
New Zealand 122.03
Australia 103.75
Pakistan 102.44
Bangladesh 95.89
Zimbabwe 84.05
Sri Lanka 80.63
West Indies 78.41
Afghanistan 76.77
Ireland 69.14
Scotland 59.35
Netherlands 57.38
U.A.E. 55.31
Kenya 49.10
Canada 44.89


Explanation of the Test formula

Match Points
Wins 150.00
Draws 100.00
Losses 50.00

Adjusted Match Points (Quality of Oppositon)
A team's match points will be adjusted in accordance to the quality of oppositon faced

Away and Neutral Venues
If a team is playing away from home, its match points will be multiplied by 1.05
If a team is playing in neutral territory, its match points will be multiplied by 1.025

New Rating
A team's new rating will be (the old rating*24+adjusted match points*1)/25

Initial ratings
Foundation teams (Australia and England) 90.00
New teams 75.00


Explanation of the One-Day International formula


Original tier 1 nations: Test playing nations at the time of the first ODI (1971)
Australia

With England's win tonight, their rating climbs from 125.03 to 126.49, their highest ever.

Australia's rating drops from 103.75 to 101.90, their lowest since 1998! Since their 4-1 series win over Pakistan early last year, Australia have won 1, lost 10, with 2 no-results (which count as draws in my system).

The ODI ratings should be treated as provisional, as I haven't calculated all the opponent ratings for each teams' matches yet (nowhere near it in fact). But I doubt they will change that much.


Not really interested in International T20 ratings at the moment but maybe I'll get to that in the future.

Incidentally, I have also applied the formula to International rugby teams.

Surprised to find Sri Lanka infront of Pakistan and England. That 0-1 loss in India must have really helped.

West Indies didn't lose their number 1 rating to Australia until their series against England in 1995. Although for all intents and purposes Australia assumed the World Champions tag after beating West Indies in the Caribbean.

Longest Time at No.1
Australia 1934-1955 (7511 days)
England 1884-1902 (6246 days)
West Indies 1980-1995 (5490 days)
Australia 1999-2010 (3956 days)
England 1912-1921 (3082 days)

Most Matches as No.1
Australia 1999-2010 (123)
West Indies 1980-1995 (120)
Australia 1934-1955 (60)
England 1884-1902 (50)
Australia 1973-1978 (44)

The top four teams from both of these lists as clearly the most dominant in history.

Afghanistan and Ireland now get full points for their match results since they have been named full members of the ICC.

Surely Hong Kong gets to be higher ranked than Kenya and Canada? :(
Hong Kong must play 25 one-day internationals to qualify for the ratings table. At the moment they are on 24 with a rating of 66.23, so after one more match they will enter around Scotland.
