India lose again without a fight
by m j on Nov 30, 2006 03:11 AM

Hi there.

First of all, I am sending this comment as an NRI, so dont take it too close to your chest. We as Indians have taken cricket as a sport to epic proportions, thereby making players demi-gods. They dont deserve this much attention. I actually have a plan to scale down the importance of our players. When we show stats of players such as sachin or dravid, we need to provide a weighted average performance score, instead of a simple average. For instance, sachin will score a series of ducks against australia and then score a triple century against bangladesh, and his average still remains good. I propose that we introduce weighting scheme, which means a 100 against australia is a 100, a 100 aginst bangladesh is a 5. so the weighted average will be more close to reality.

Hope this makes sense to all our die hard cricket fans.
