Statistics is a good tool for analysis, but it should be used with caution. There is an old story of a stats teacher who while crossing a river calculated as average depthof river as 4 feet and average hight of the students as 5 feet and went for crossing it, the result , All drowned.
Same thing is here done by Suman Bhatt repeatedly. If wee look at this on year to year basis and take care of some other facts, then it is quite clear that Ganguly-Wright duo started with scratch to build the team after the Fixing scandal and build the team with average of 52% victory, The same team got transfered to Dravid-Chapple duo and till the time Chapples Ideas started in producing the results, it gave 60% victory in 2005, and 2006 onwards when the ideas started giving results, came down to 40%,
So which performance is better Wright-Ganguly's 52% build from scrath or Chapple-Dravid's 51% build from a strong base.
