When Rahul Dravid stepped down as the captain of the Indian Cricket team, news channels in India ran surveys galore to find the reason for his action. They found the most easiest way to gauge what was going through Rahul's mind. The sad part is even Rahul Dravid was clueless for a reason. What was Dravid's 'pressure quotient"? How much is the 'pressure'? These channels, I say...
The news channel went on like this "Our sample size is 30,000 SMS and 63% say Dravid succumbed to pressure". Then it asks the cricketer termed commentator "Sir, are you in the 63% or 37%?" The news anchor went on to extrapolate the result to India's verdict.
A news paper has gone to use fractal analytics and the probabilities to predict who will win the cricket match before the start of days play. They got it right once but lost once. Did they say 50:50 or being consistently inconsistent like Ajit Agarkar?
Better would be to predict what Sreesanth will do after bowling a wide ball.
