Maddinson Double Ton Piles on Pain Palmerston 52 SPORT SATURDAY OCTOBER 12 2019 Maddinson double ton Ashes failure distant piles on pain JASON PHELAN SOUTH Australia have stead- ied to be 2-102 at stumps on day two of their Sheffield memory for Warner Shield clash with Victoria, but the Redbacks still have a mountain to climb with a Nic Maddinson double-century propelling the home side to 6 (dec)-616. A masterful innings of 224 to Maddinson and tons to Marcus Harris and Will Pu- covski helped to put the reign- ing champions in charge of their season-opening encoun- ter at Junction Oval. After resuming at 1-362, the Vics cruised to 3-489 at lunch before skipper Peter Hand- scomb called Sam Harper (13 not out) and James Pattinson (1 not out) in 40 minutes before the tea break. The Redbacks’ first innings was off to a disastrous start when Territorian and opener Jake Weatherald was dis- missed by Pattinson with the first ball of the innings, caught in the slips by Glenn Maxwell. SA were reeling when Jake Lehmann (8) departed cheaply with the score 2-23, but opener and City Cyclones Strike League star Henry Hunt (62no) showed impressive poise to score a half century on his first-class debut, with Tra- vis Head with him on 27. Western Australia’s bats- men overcame the distraction of a fire scare to lift their side to a competitive 337 on day one of their Sheffield Shield clash with Tasmania at the WACA Ground.

  • Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection
    Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection Hamish Thorburn Dr Michael Forbes The University of Queensland 26/02/2015 1 1 Abstract An attempt was made to try and select the Australian Test Cricket Team for then-upcoming series against India in December-January 2014-2015. Data was collected pertaining to 37 Australian cricket players, relating to both recent form (the 12 months prior to commencement of the project) and career form across multiple formats of the game. The team was selected using a mixed-integer- programming (MIP) model, after processing the statistics collected to create usable parameters for the model. It was found that the team selected by the MIP model shared only 5 of the 11 players with the actual team selected by the Australian Board of Selectors to compete in the series. When altering parameters of the model, it was found that the batting diversity of the team could be doubled while only losing 0.008 of the available talent of selected players. The reduced costs were calculated to determine how close unselected players were to being selected, and what they would have to increase their batting/bowling averages to be considered for selection. Finally, we compared the ICC player ratings to our calculated batting and bowling indices, to try to determine the optimal weighting between the different statistics. It was found that batting average was most important in batting performance (but was more important in test matches than one-day matches) and that bowling average and economy were equally important in bowling performance. 2 Introduction 2.1 The Game of Cricket Cricket is a sport composing of opposing teams of 11 players each side.
