Statistics

There is a funny link when you observe today. 7.5.12

Yes, 7+5= 12. Amazing isn’t it? I don’t know whether some statistician has taken this into his/her account!

Statistician…. Well, I remember Mr. B B Mama (is Mr. right? I have not seen him/oops her!)

For the sake of ease, I will call him ‘him’. If he is a ‘her’ let me know please!

This person was keeping track of cricket scores in Sportsweek magazine those days. I used to buy them (though I was not earning those days) for the gatefold of big cricketers Sunny Gavaskar, Javed Miandad, G R Visvanath and so on.

The scores were really difficult to keep because most of the records were kept manually.

Today, uff.. it is so easy!

You will know how many times a fielder let the ball slip through between his legs (pun unintended!) in the last say, 5 overs!

Isn’t it amazing what the computers can do? You can see yellow lines showing the path of sixers and red and blue for 4 and twos may be.

Other statistics apart from cricket are also good. Yesterday Aamir Khan was mentioning today there are 914 girls for 1000 boys.  When the number becomes big the gap becomes wider.

He also said in the next 10 years, 2 crore boys will not have girls for their marriage (or live – in)

When I mentioned this to my colleagues in the cab while traveling today, she gave an exclamation “oh my God, what do I do to get a girl for my son!” Her son will be of marriageable age by then!

The digression of the subject is too much. This means I am sleepy. See you tomorrow! Hopefully with more stuff!!
