Measuring success of a tour

[BDfanforever]

These days teams plays too many formats, and it can be difficult to gauge the success of away tours. It is understood that most teams will struggle in the tests, but that should not be the end of it all.

I have given the following weights: Tests 70%, ODIs 25%, T20s 5%. These weights are only really meant for top teams and series where there are 3 or more tests are played.

Considering the above weights i have measured the success of the following tour:

India tour of RSA = 47%( really good)

India tour of England = 26%( pretty poor but not horrendous as India won a tests and few LOI games)

NZ tour of Pak = 59% (Excellent, anything above 50% is really good for away teams)

What weights do you think is more proper to measure a series?

I think Tests tend to have a very high weightage for the better teams. I don't think WI care that much about them, for example.

Why give the most weight to the least popular format?

It is least popular but no doubt majority of teams see tests as the real deal. All the hype of any big series is the Test series, bilateral ODI's and T20I's don't generate even half the hype as big Test series do
