***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

But of course, the larger the sample, the more you should be using the mean over median.

Why is this because it is less skewed by not outs etc?

 

[ohnoitsyou]

If you're comparing quantitive data, you should nearly always use the median over the mean as it is seen as the more accurate figure.

 

[Hurricane]

maybe Blocky has a money ball stat here

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Ah yeah, of course. Nah, I was just thinking about outliers in small samples.

 

[Zinzan]

If you remove all of Guptill's double-figure scores, he averages less than 10.

 

[Hurricane]

Maybe we should do Monte Carlo analysis on Guptil's matches against the Windes and this one Indian inning since they were the most recent

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

If you're comparing quantitive data, you should nearly always use the median over the mean as it is seen as the more accurate figure.

Yeah, looking at it now, that makes sense. What I was probably thinking was that the more data you have the least amount of difference between median and mean. But, that would depend on the distribution of the data, wouldn't it. So that wouldn't be true either.


How about I say that the more innings you have the more time it takes to find the median on cricinfo (innings in order, count to the middle), so just use the ****ing average. Yeah, that's what I meant.

 

[hendrix]

He's using the median to assess consistency, which is not unfair IMO. Could use standard deviation or something.

 

[Mike5181]

So anyway...

Kyle Mills
Jimmy Neesham
Hamish Bennett

Pick one for the next game. I'd be going for Mills personally.

 

[hendrix]

it'd be horrible not to pick Mills.

I'd still like to see Bennett!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Pick one for the next game. I'd be going for Mills personally.

As long as he opens up the bowling.

I'd say Neesham will be coming in for Anderson whenever he is rested.

 

[Flem274*]

Mills is the best bowler on the list but we're developing for the world cup so i don't mind who plays.

 

[hendrix]

Mills is the best bowler on the list but we're developing for the world cup so i don't mind who plays.

but what about when he doesn't bowl well?

 

[Athlai]

I reckon Mills has been pretty poor in the last 6 months.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

I reckon Mills has been pretty poor in the last 6 months.

worst of the best poor? :P

 

[Kippax]

If you remove all of Guptill's double-figure scores, he averages less than 10.

 

[Athlai]

worst of the best poor? :P

Na he is no longer in the best category IMO. Just a decent ODI class bowler now.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

But what is his median?

 

[Immenso]

But what is his median?

And can he bowl out swingers? Because if you ignore his out swingers then he can only move the ball off the seam.

 

[Flem274*]

Mills is terrible when you remove all his wickets. A billion games, zero wickets. What a shunt.
