too long yet no substance...
Learning from the very best in business as we speak.
No need for that, I will breakdown myself before having a senior, who spents half his life on this thread, bowing down to me.
A- basically in your posted link, there was no higher and/or deeper meaning (I should not have given you the benefit of doubt)
I'm sorry, I'm not one to manipulate stats and I believe in that the more filtres applied to a search, the more it's irrelevant and only trying to prove an imaginary point. So, no, it's not deep or exquisite, it just had a basic meaning which is ''Blaming Malik's Performance on him batting at 7 or 8 is off the mark''.
B- You picked the date 01 Jan 2010 for two reasons:
i) YK tried to sabotage so you excluded 2009 (first of all no one ever blamed YK about it, even YK said this during his hearing parliament) anyway, whta's wrong with starting from Jan 01 2012? you failed to address this.
I don't believe that YK sabottaged Malik, I only believe that Malik apologists will go to any length to do so. So, I prevented it by excluding it.
As for not picking 2012, confer infra.
ii)as it was a start of decade as you felt that this makes it all the more relevant (Who cares about start of decade? are you Mayan? even if you are should not you start from Dec 23rd 2012? even better why not start with Malik's birthday? it will make even more relevant...right? Why not from 00 hrs 15th aug 2012...both countries got independence... to make it relevant to all the people in Pakistan and India?
you failed to make the case for date.
''These are Malik's winning ODI stats since
1 January 2012''
I'm a Mayan calendar fan and, if it were on me, I'd have certainly picked a square date in that calendar. But, I wanted to please you and, as you seem to be a gregorian calendar adept, I thought let's pick 1 Jan 2010 for BZ's sake. Little did I know that you were actually
lunatic, so I should have picked the
moon calendar.
I'm not one to explain my jokes but you seem to be highly cartesian. Which brings me to my next point.
D- Malik did not play at #8 but he played total of 7 completed innings at #6 and #7
since jan 1 2012, Yk avg 20 while Afridi 15...
where is the point?
Being nice doesn't pay off in this world...
So, let me return you the favour: Malik played a total of 0 completed innings at #6 and #7. I'd have thought that someone claiming to have an IQ of 142 and being agressive to Lethal Sami for some random math crap would know the logical difference between and vs or.
I guess that's what so nice about Internet. You can claim to be anyone and use some fancy words to do so. But logic is a vicious creature and it comes back to bite your lacks when you least expect it.
E- Sample set of 8 matches in 38 months is larger (or equal) than a sample set of 11 matches in 14 months
So, isn't that self-explanatory as to why I picked 2010 rather than 2012 for having a bigger sample of matches, equal to the one you've been using lately albeit on a longer period of time. Some will argue that the said period is irrelevant because, all in all, the fact that I found only 7 matches since 2010 where Malik played at 6 7 8 clearly proves that he hasn't been hidden in the lower order as you claim him to be.
Even in the short sample where he has, he was outperformed by 4 players going by average (that's why I sorted by runs not to have a tailender at the top and thus risk the health of our dear BZ on the name of statistical relevance).
I do not know why you mentioned another poster in this ...
I have addressed and answered all the questions asked and provided proof and requested link...it's up to him to accept the evidence provided and ask for forgiveness ...
I don't care as to who the poster is as long as it proves that your presentation of stats is a mean of manipulation rather than aesthetics, and I'm much better off without both.
