The point I was originally trying to make was that hoping for all 10 wickets to fall in the following session was unrealistic, and that affixing the word "ideally" to your statement only served to make it seem more so. By my reckoning, the chances of such a thing happening given the circumstances (decent opposition playing at home, pitch not deteriorating terribly, no major injury/sickness problems among the team's batsmen) were negligible (under 0.1%, say). I was not making the claim that the statistical likelihood was equal to that of poverty being eliminated overnight; such a claim clearly would be ridiculous. After that, I was primarily curious about whether anyone had kept records on wickets in sessions because it seemed like an interesting thing to keep tabs on.
