An Update...
I was way too gullible in the previous post. Got carried away by the good Professor's number crunching. Micheal Higgins has demystified the statistical quirk since then.
Can somebody point out why it is much more likely for a batsman to have a round figure strike rate of 50 or 100 than 49.88 or 99.74?
Post your answers without reading Higgins' elementary explanation.
