I totally agree with you about the differences in total number of test matches with many teams, but I think initially they had proposed same number of matches, but, due to Corona pandemic, many series got cancelled and they have to come up with a different points format to decide who makes it to final.
Whatever it is, it has to beca fair one for all and this one being the First test championship, there will be due considerations all the changes they might propose or suggested by all the nations.
I always appreciate your indepth reading of each of the posts and explain about that in these showcase blogs and that's something I want to improve myself by learning from you.
Have a great day 🙂
I agree but the top 3 play 5 tests against each other and no one else gets that privilege. that is where the others are shown to be on a separate tier and due to the voting the top 3 have no one can change it.
You will get to grips with it quickly so not much to learn, but reading the posts.
Yeah, that's some kind of difference, but points are adjusted accordingly for 1 off, 2 match series, 3 match series and 5 match series with a max of 120 points for the series whether it's 2 match series or 5 match series.
For e.g. if there are 2 matches to be played in a series, then each will have a max of 60 points. If there are 5 matches, then each will have 24 points only per match.
This was as per the initial setup, but they couldn't achieve that because of Corona and have to rely on Percentage of Points as agreed by ICC .
It may not be a 100% viable one, but we might see some updated rules for the points scoring.
