The Life of Peter (Data) Moores

[Aidan11]

Moores is giving a press conference tomorrow but is checking his data after each question so he can give an answer.

First question - "Will you be resigning?"

[Alviro Patterson]

Here is Peter Moores in his element

Today, Peter holds a team meeting ahead of the Afghanistan match

"right lads.....

For this next game, a statistically significant result will only be attained if our p-values are less than the significance level, so I'll need all of you to observe the effect given that the null hypothesis is true. Remember the significance or alpha-level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given that it is true, yes I'm talking to you Jimmy, you forgot that in the last match, didn't you! Fortunately for you I've already chosen the significance level for the next game and as usual I've set it at 0.05 ......that's 5%, Stuart.... don't forget it. Captain...... I may use other significance levels, depending on the overhead conditions, so come and see me before the toss

Null hypothesis for today is that the Afghans will not struggle against the speared in yorker

Right I want all the bowlers to think long and hard about their p-values and alpha-levels before the game.

All clear?

any questions?

No?

All understand?

okay then, good luck......

and hey, hey, hey............................those jounalists don't understand the good work we are doing, so lets be careful what we say, people."

don't you have to a member of the broad family to get a job like that ?

I have worked out why our batsmen are having problems

[Aidan11]

Is anyone else thinking what they'd like to do with those stumps.

[braveneutral]

He looks like he is considering the very same question.

[Durhamfootman]

Not me....... I'm wondering where Peter has hidden the middle stump

and will it reappear anytime soon?

It's a modern tactic of the great statistician. Remove it during training and batsmen are 86% less likely to wet themselves when it gets knocked out of the ground in a real match situation.

[Aidan11]

The man has certainly lost his bails.

you see I thought he may have accidentally sat on it and was trying to evacuate it without anyone noticing

I was going down that route either late last night or early this morning and wasn't sure if my post would have been within the ethos of the board so I refrained from sending...

I read that as lost his balls
