The new stats graph thing they have on the bottom of player profiles on Cricinfo is really rad.

I like it because it makes simple things that I often look up (stats since an arbitrary date, or in an arbitrary period) very easy, but then I'll accidentally click some part of the graph and it'll change to a completely baffling graph that I don't know how I got to.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
Completely baffling stats are the best bits of cricket

Like the bounce variance thing that they show on TV is apparently the difference between the bounce of that ball... and the average bounce in India.

The president of the WICB talking poo poo about his own players on twitter sure sounds like something the president of the WICB would do.

Here comes Gayle's one big score for the tournament that will have everyone clambering over themselves to talk about how cool and destructive he is

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

Gayle isn't so much choking, as living in a poo poo retirement village where he's slowly losing his friends, and he's pretty sure his bosses are stealing from him. Death can't come soon enough.

Samuels and Gayle have faced the same number of balls and he has 100 runs less.
