Over the 3 tests for each team the order of play has deviated from the world rankings as follows:

Australia First Test 8 (original team 12), Second test 2 and third test by 4
Greta Britain 2 for all tests
New Zealand First test 4, second and third tests 8
USA First test 4, second and third tests 6

Today the MacRobertson Shield countries will have a meeting to discuss issues about the series and future series. One item on the agenda is to look at the definition of a national to reduce the period that a person must reside in a country to become eligible to play for another country. At the moment it is possible to play for different countries in successive MacRobertson Shield events; but this is not the case for World Championships. The existing requirements also require a player to step aside from international competition when they change permanent residence and wish to represent the new country. These rules if agreed for the Mac will also require WCF rule changes for world championships.
