Can you believe people were calling for Pakistan to declare on day two when they had 310/6.

Gosh it is quiet around here today. Perhaps we should not read statistical significance into tiny samples, such as Warner’s few innings in 2016 or Mike’s solitary plea the other day for test analysis only.

So just in case there are KC readers out there craving some “blast from the past anthropomorphic” match reporting, my Ogblog trawl through the summer of 2008 has uncovered an especially bizarre piece by Hippity from MTWD.

In many ways it is contra-KC. Not least, rather than being written months after the event and then published months after that, by the looks of it I published Hippity’s T20 match report before the match had actually finished:

“Strikes us that if mediocrity can so easily be negated, it was probably no such thing in the first place.”

Quite so. Should averages come with error bars?

batsmen who dare to play with their luck, usually luck plays a major share on their returns.
