This isn't meaningless. It suggests Kohli's daughter should stay the **** away from the Indian women's cricket captaincy.

'Wins of XYZ bilateral trophy'.

Apparently the West Indies and England will have no previous history of playing each other next time they meet.

Ban all cricket predictors. Smothering numbers to produce nonsense probabilities. You can produce probability distributions, but point predictions is a mathematical lunacy.

You're a naughty boy Daemon. I project that WTC finals as a measure of test success to be pretty meaningless ...

Saw a match report today which began "Axar Patel took a career-best six for 38"

...It's his second Test.

What's the issue

Axar Patel’s career starting exactly like Mehedy Hasan Miraz with a bucket load of wickets.

Next time a debutant goes 0-80 in their first innings, I must remember to point out that it's a career-best performance

Reminds me of an even worse football stat I once heard: “After 2 matches Manchester United already have a 100% record.”

Actually 0-80 is a good performance for a debutant bowler. It show that the captain had enough faith in his bowler to keep him on for so long.

Not if it's from 8 overs spread throughout the innings
