Hunches Can Be As Good As Stats, Ed...
Sceptics who believe the makeup of the new England selection panel of Ed Smith, AN Other, various scouts and HAL 9000, the computer from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, raises the possibility of a dangerous over-reliance on statistics and irrefutable logic might care to offer them two words of advice: Marcus Trescothick.
In Arthur C Clarke’s original novel, HAL, which is short for Heuristically programmed Algorithmic computer, ends up attempting to kill the entire crew of their spaceship because it’s pre-programmed orders are to keep itself in charge of the mission at all costs.
I trust Smith is familiar with this brilliant work of sci-fi genius Clarke and, if he isn’t, perhaps he should be, but as far as the principle relates of the selection of England cricket teams, the point is that for the whizz-bang stats to work as he would wish, they have to be put to work for him rather than slavishly followed by him.
