Points system (cricket)

(

)

... that the 2013 Women's Ashes was the first cricket series to use a multi-format points system?

ALT1:... that due to the points system being used, England won the 2013–14 Women's Ashes despite winning fewer matches?
ALT2:... that the current England–Sri Lanka series is the first men's cricket series to feature a multi-format points system?
Reviewed: McLaren MP4-30
Comment: If ALT2 is used, it would need to be run before 5 July, as that's when the last match of the series is.
