Possibly the most contentious point of discussion while discussing test rankings (especially those of India) tends to be the Home vs. Away performance because ICC rankings don't take that in account, with that in mind I tried making rankings for all three - Total / Home / Away, I liked the numbers and wanted to check if they look alright -
(Main features on which the rankings are determined - exact numbers are complicated.)
1. An away win is 2X as important as a home win, a home loss is 2X more damaging than an away loss, a home draw is a slight loss, an away draw is a slight plus. (1/6X of an away win)
2. Matches from current year and previous year have full weight, weight is halved for each subsequent year for 3 more years (so a total of 4 + current year are taken into account.)
3. Winning against better teams give more points - losing against poorer teams leads to more loss of points. Base team strength is determined from all of the latest past series of all teams against all teams.
Let me know what people think.
