Probably from May onwards I'll have to cut back, because I'll be back at my PhD.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-14714658992766623592008-03-03T10:41:00.000+01:002008-03-03T10:41:00.000+01:00I can completely relate to getting the idea for a ...I can completely relate to getting the idea for a blog at a train station - I usually think of mine during a smoke break or when on the way to work or back. :-)<BR/><BR/>I guessed 3-4 hours but thats lots of hours dedicated to blog posts - if u ever join the ACSH it will be most apt.<BR/><BR/>Your work is amazing.

I spent about 20 minutes scribbling away with guesstimate numbers to see if it'd work. Then once I was back on my computer, it took me about three or four hours to do everything.<BR/><BR/>A large part of doing this is for my own satisfaction, but I certainly want others to know about it. I think I'll join the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians, where there might be more of an audience for this sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>The site statistics tell me that I have a few dozen regular readers. Not everyone will know what the exponential distribution is, but some people will, and I want to talk to them as well. You can get "Tendulkar's average in the second innings in Australia"-type stats anywhere.<BR/><BR/>And hopefully people who don't follow the maths still read the conclusions.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-7927651774353828402008-03-03T09:32:00.000+01:002008-03-03T09:32:00.000+01:00Amazing David.How long does it take you to do stuf...Amazing David.<BR/><BR/>How long does it take you to do stuff like this?<BR/><BR/>I'm also intrigued to know whether u do this for your own intellectual satisfaction or is there an audience out there for this type of complex statistical work on cricket?<BR/><BR/>I understand your analysis cos I'm a mathematics major, but obviously the average cricket fan would not, thats why I'm asking :-)Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-72827245524163262052008-03-03T09:31:00.000+01:002008-03-03T09:31:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.com
