Arre bhai

That may be used in questions in Stats papers.
NO ONE has the time or inclination to take std deviation and find who fits the team.

Stats are like miniskirts ...they reveal more than they cover . ..so said Shri Sidhuji

Stats r pointless while choosing teams.
Only performance counts

P.S: Y are the poll results up there not being displayed? All I see is, 0% for every single player there.

see dear wizard

a quick 30-40 towards the end may be batter than a long slow 80-100 in a one day match
so can a burst of 2-3 wicckets in a short spell vs players hitting out and getting caught in the deep
so stats cant tell abt the quality only quantity

Tests need a patient game caapable of grounding oppositoion and playing thru 5 days ..
one days needs more attacking batsman and defensive bowlers (vice versa intests)

also standard deviation is used to check consistency
ie avg may be 40 runs
but score of 0 and 80 and 42 and 38 both give same avg diff value of std deviations

hope u got it
better play and watch cricket than ask Qs here

yuvraj's first odi was played at nairobi against kenya , where he didnt get to bat . so technically 0 is the answer not 83 against austrailia . however his first odi "innings is against aus where he scored 83 . so answer to puskar's qus is 0.
