The West Indies have had some good results at home recently, winning a series against Sri Lanka and now adding a good victory in their first game (of two) against Pakistan. My world ratings now look like this:
- Australia 282
- South Africa 262
- New Zealand 190
- India 157
- England 112
- Sri Lanka 22
- West Indies -8 +18
- Pakistan -36 -17
- Bangladesh -83
- Zimbabwe -281
- Ireland -292
- Afghanistan -324
For Pakistan, who led the ratings in 2016, this is a real low ebb. And the last time they were behind West Indies in the ratings appears to have been 1997! Although the last 30 years haven't exactly been great for the West Indies, since then they have had periods ahead of every other team with the exception of Australia. So to see this reversal is really quite striking.
