Kiwi for Maths, and Aussie for beer

by Gaurav Sethi

First it was Justin Vaughan, CEO of Kiwi cricket who took his Casio scientific calculator out:

After the black caps’ lone ODI victory, he solved a highly complex equation:

3-3 is what he said (India 3-1 in the ODIs, NZL 2-0 in the T20s, Q.E.D)

Then the Kiwi coach, Andy Moles took his abacus out, in consultation with the Chinese he arrived at this:

"Of course the Indians will say that they won the series. That's fine. Our answer is there have been six games of cricket, they have won three, and we have won three. So we are level going into the [Test] series. They outplayed us in the one-dayers, but we are looking forward to the Test series."

Got me thinking, had England won yesterday’s T20, the series according to Vaughan & Moles, and the world according to Garp would’ve been locked at 1-1.

Balderdash.

Hey NC, looks like the Kiwis need some incredible mathematics after Sehwag destroyed all calculations including D/L with his explosive batting.

this is what happens to your mind after you see sehwag smash you day in day out...

I suppose the way they look at it is, since there weren't any 50 over matches, they must all be T20s. Quick question though: didn't they consider the T20 match against Aus as the tie breaker to the ODIs? I think they're getting way too carried away with these T20s because it actually makes them competitive...

Time to get the super-computers out & calculate @ a gazillion flops(floating point operations)!
