A few tweeters suggested this nice idea of charting the ratio of the (average runs per wicket scored)/(average runs per wicket conceded) over successive 5 year spans in Test cricket. I ranked the teams in each span. It gives a nice synoptic view of all the great Test teams.

A History Of Test Cricket In One Chart
Wonderful..the team under Kohli has mostly been 1 or 2
One limitation of the model when you arrive at a factor of runs scored vs runs conceded it doesn’t factor results, tests which ended in a draw with gods bet score will be part of the net score, more so in periods when tests used to have a lot of drawn encounters. Contributions of strong batting sides do not jump out of this model.
