Also worth considering in the West Indies, if:
India win 4-0, they move to 114
India win 3-0, they stay on 112
India win 3-1 or 2-0, they drop to 110
India win 2-1 or 1-0, they drop to 108
So due to rounding:
If India win 3-0 and England win 3-1, both on a 112 rating, India would stay above England.
Any other situation where they have the same rating after their respective series', England would go above India.”
Clever boy. I wouldn't know where to start! having a league table with points for wins etc would be so much easier!
