Stumped for an answer? Ask Philip!
CricInfo - 19 February 2001

CricInfo's master statistician is now available to take all your cricket questions - however obscure - and is hoping he won't ever be stumped for an answer!

Why is cricket so called? Why do cricketers play in whites rather than creams, yellows or greens? Who was the tallest cricketer and who was the heaviest?

No matter how absurd the question, our resident expert Philip Bailey will find you an answer. Philip has been immersing himself in cricket facts and stats for nearly 40 years, so whatever you want to know he can almost certainly tell you. One of the world's foremost cricket number-crunchers, Philip has been a prominent member of the Association of Cricket Statisticians since 1973 (and unusually has won Statistician of the Year twice, in 1988 and 1994). His work frequently appears in ACS publications and he was the joint editor of the Who's Who of Cricketers.

So if you have a question, or think that you can outfox the master statto, click on the link below and try out Philip's knowledge.
