Re: One country recently became #1 in Test Cricket.
So let’s see how the respective test teams have fared in unfamiliar conditions in recent times.
A- Overall which is the strongest Asian test team in non-Asian conditions (in Eng, Aus, SA, NZ)?
B- Overall which is the strongest non-Asian test team in Asian conditions (in Pak, India, Lanka, UAE)?
I have discounted test series against Windies, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh as they are weak sides right now.
I have looked at the most recent away series only
Asian Teams:
**
Pakistan (Away)**
vs England 2-2 (2016)
vs Australia 0-3 (2009/10)
vs South Africa 0-3 (2013)
vs New Zealand 1-0 (2011)
**
Overall Win/Loss ratio = 3/8**
2. India
vs England 1-3 (2014)
vs Australia 0-2 (2014/15)
vs South Africa 0-1 (2013)
vs New Zealand 0-1 (2014)
**
W/L ratio = 1/7**
3. Sri Lanka
vs England 0-2 (2016)
vs Australia 0-3 (2012/13)
vs South Africa 1-2 (2011/12)
vs New Zealand 0-2 (2015)
**
W/L ratio = 1/9**
**
Non-Asian Teams:
****1. England (Away)
**
vs Pakistan 0-2 (2015)
vs India 2-1 (2012)
vs Sri Lanka 1-1 (2012)
**Overall W/L ratio = 3/4
**2. South Africa
vs Pakistan 1-1 (2013)
vs India 0-3 (2015)
vs Sri Lanka 1-0 (2015)
**
W/L ratio = 2/4****
New Zealand
**
vs Pakistan 1-1 (2014)
vs India 0-2 (2012)
vs Sri Lanka 1-1 (2012)
**W/L ratio = 2/4
**4. Australia
vs Pak 0-2 (2014)
vs India 0-4 (2013)
vs Sri Lanka 0-3 (2016)
**W/L ratio = 0/9

The 0-2 vs Australia could easily have been 1-1. Umpiring was biased beyond belief. Yes india got a couple of decisions in favor. The overwhelming of 50 and 50 and even things in Idina favor by 70 30 went Aussie way.
So ratio could have been 2 to 6.
