Again, much is being made of the England win over the West Indies - England's 3rd biggest win, the Windies biggest ever loss. I feel alone in thinking - so what? It's a exceptionally poor Windies team, so it's hardly earth-shattering news. I prefered the record that it was the coldest temperature ever recorded at a test - 7 degress C. Welcome to England in May.
Many papers prefer to focus on the fact that Michael Vaughan has equalled Peter May's record for most test wins as England captain - in 7 fewer tests too. It's a good record to be sure, but paltry compared to other countries - he's still a long way behind Steve Waugh's 41 wins or Clive Lloyds 36.
About this blog
Sport lends itself to statistics, opinions and a lot of money. Interestingly, these three rarely tally. I aim to shed a little light on the area of sports statistics to prove (or otherwise) the perceived wisdoms of sport.
This blog is for day-to-day observations. My other blog, www.minto.net (see links on the right) is where I put longer pieces of research.
