Following on from the “Pakistan CT17 win was not a fluke” thread, I would like to ask what users believe to be a 5-Sigma performance.
5-Sigma is known as a non-fluke, foreseeable, certainty, 100% predictable event. In other words, the opposite of a fluke which is a 1-Sigma event.
In terms of Pakistan, yes Pakistan can have off days (which team doesn’t?) but looking at say ICC tournaments, Pakistan has an impressive record.
• 1992 – WC Winners
• 1999 – WC Runners Up
• 2007 – World T20 Runners Up
• 2009 – World T20 Winners
• 2017 – Champion Trophy winners.
This roughly equates to Pakistan being in an ICC final on average every 5 years. Is this a fluke?
Pakistan is 1 of 4 teams to win all 3 Major ICC trophies. Is this a fluke?
Of course, this does not include Test/ODI series where Pakistan has superior W/L ratios with selective teams, and of course Pakistan’s impeccable T20 record which is impressive to say the least. Are these results a fluke?
Pakistan players topping Test, ODI, and T20 rankings – Is this a fluke?
Bearing this in mind, which teams have performed with certainty? I would say the closest teams would be West Indies of the 70s/80s, and of course the Australian dream team of the 90s/00s. Does this mean all other teams barring West Indies/Australia have fluked it to victory?
Thoughts please.
