Cricket and Statistics

Cricket and Statistics are like bread and jam, which complements each other if they are in right proportion, but sometimes the jam is too much.
Media and commentators are trying too much to bring out some of the weirdest statistics.

It is common to hear commentators saying
In worldcup cricket 2007
This is the first boundary
This is the first Duck
This is the first Century
This is the first No ball or wide and what not

The statistics ranges for both the extremes
Batsmen with highest no. of century and Batsmen(mostly Bowler) with highest no. of Ducks
Bowler with highest wickets and Bowler(mostly Batsmen) with least wickets
Highest and least partnership between all combination of order of batsmen, Whoo..

Don't be surprised to hear some statistics like
This is the fifth time that fifth wicket falls in the 5th ball of the 5th over

I remember my friend has forwarded to many a mail in which the big coloured text "06/06/06 06:06:06" never comes again pass this on to your friends. Without thinking logically about this he has forwarded it to many guys and I don't know how much of them have forwarded it.

Time once gone is gone and is unique, similarly each ball that is bowled is unique and trying to find a statistics out of it sucks.

I think this is the right time to say this about the Cricket, let us watch cricket as a sport and not to get emotional or try to publicize and get money out of it.

Girls and their Cellphones

Iam sure you would have seen what I have also seen, girls talking in their mobile phones if they find themselves in a solitude state, be it walking, eating, travelling in a bus or cab.

I really don't know how could they talk and listen without bothering about the surrounding cacaphony. The ultimate is the way in which they whisper in the mobile, whether the person at the other end will be able to interpret it? I don't know.

When a girl is alone (this is a rare scenario if at all that girl is good looking) she is too conscious about the surrounding, checking whether others are looking at her or what others might think about her, to distract her from this she pulls out her mobile searches her contact list and makes a call(missed call in case of boys) and starts babbling.

I read sometime back that a girl got hit by an electric train while talking in her mobile and crossing the railway track, so Girls talk in your mobile with care. Happy Talking!
