Cricket World Ratings 11th August 2020

The strange, compressed summer of test cricket in England continues, with Pakistan following the West Indies as the visiting side.  Pakistan had much the best of the first test, but England's lower middle order came through in a succesful run chase to secure a win for the home team.  My latest world ratings now look like this:

1. Australia     220    
2. India         212    
3. England       184 +11 
   
4. New Zealand   175    
5. Sri Lanka      84    
6. Pakistan       73 -10
   
7. South Africa   59    
8. West Indies     9    
9. Bangladesh   -122    
10. Zimbabwe     -251    
11. Afghanistan  -303    
12. Ireland      -339
    

Two more matches will follow in quick succession.
