Details
The Rediff ODI rating is obtained by judiciously combining every team's weighted index (WI) and tournament index (TI). Based on the past data, a reasonable ratio to combine the WI and TI appears to be 4:1.
The WI, based on the most recent ODI encounters between every pair of teams as shown in Table B, is essentially a weighted average that considers the 'opposition strength' (because wins against strong opponents must be rewarded more) and the 'home-away-neutral' factors (because, most teams win a lot of matches when they play at home, but lose many more in 'away' encounters).

The TI factors in a team's performance in tournaments and series (and thereby seeks to better reward wins in 'big' matches). The TI is currently based on a time 'window' spanning the period December 2006 to November 2007 (see Table C).

Notice that there has been a significant change in the TI. This is because the ICC Champions Trophy, played in Oct-Nov 2006, has now gone out of the window of reckoning. So, relatively speaking, the poor performers in that event have gained while the good performers have lost their winning advantage.
We now await the outcome of the South Africa-New Zealand ODI series in South Africa.
