They’ve already made one very minor change, after noticing that their mad scoring system required awarding 13⅓ points to each team if a match in a three-match series ends in a draw they just quietly dropped the ⅓ of a point. The good news is that there is one really easy change that soves an awful lot of it and I reckon they’ve still got time to change it before anyone notices. They tried to be clever with the scoring system and have made a mess of it. In a lot of ways, it’s pretty lucky that nobody is yet talking about the WTC, because let me tell you this. We need to talk about the scoring system for the World Test Championship, because nobody else is and it’s actually mental.Įven with India sitting pretty at the top of the early WTC table, it is struggling to hold anyone’s attention when put up against Steve Smith’s runs, whether it is okay to impersonate Jack Leach, and the earth-shattering revelation that the British establishment isn’t really bothered about a bit of domestic violence or racism.
