Arrested Development reference?

What astounds me is that in club cricket here about 30% of people think that either Warner and co did nothing wrong, or if they did do anything wrong it’s no big deal – they feel that fielding a strong team and winning is more important than showing any kind of principles.

On the subject of wicketkeepers playing in that match, if I hadn’t just made a comment full of puns on another post, rest assurred I would be making Harry Nielsen/Harry Nilsson puns in this very comment.

Worse yet, we see, to be exporting Chairs of cricket boards to Australia now?

Earl Eddings sounds like one of ours…possibly from the late 19th or “Earl-y” 20th Century.

Indeed, Bailout.

Yet more specifically, a maximum margin hyperplane, i.e. a hyperplane which separates two ‘clouds’ of points.

Describing Michael Clarke’s points (stated above) as “cloudy” is about as polite as I could manage.

A Cricket Australia XI captained by an English wicketkeeper. We’re exporting them now.

If I recall correctly you are a fan of Support Vector Machines, Ged, so I’ll go further and say it isn’t any old hyperplane but more specifically a separating hyperplane.

The question remains, though, whether David Warner is a convex set? Certainly some Australian cricketers of yesteryear come close.

…and don’t cheat, Deets, you missed “and don’t cheat” from your list.

The line is none of the things you describe – it is a hyperplane – as long as the player who is crossing (or not crossing) it is a three-dimensional cricketer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane

As for touching crossing the line, surely handshaking is a form of touching that does not cross the line.

I guess we need some more Venn diagrams, but I am kind-of busy this evening.

Only if you play for Australia or have previously done so.
