Just 1003 die-hard fans gathered at Skilled Park. The previous worst was 1632 when the now- defunct New Zealand Knights hosted the Central Coast Mariners in Auckland in September 2006. The Fury’s home match was transferred to Skilled Park because Dairy Farmers Stadium was a casu- alty of Cyclone Yasi. Skilled Park, which is the A-League home of Gold Coast United, has hosted three of the four worst ever A-League crowds following attendances of 1658 and 1714 at two United matches this season. 46 NT NEWS.

  • 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.

    “We have previously held tournaments in Darwin during Australia’s winter months and the community has really embraced the chance to see international teams and some of Australia’s best players in action,” Mr Howard said. “We prepared in Darwin before the successful 2012 tour of the United Arab Emirates and the conditions were ideal. We have received great support from the Northern Territory Government and NT Cricket, who are all looking forward to hosting some high quality and entertaining cricket. “From a team performance point of view, the conditions will give our next tier players a great opportunity to press their claims for higher honours against some very strong opposition.” Mr Conlan said the Territory Government had lobbied hard to secure the tournament. “It’s been a priority of the Country Liberals Government to get international cricket back to the Territory in all forms of the game and it’s fantastic to see Cricket Australia work with us to achieve that goal,” he said. “Today’s announcement follows last year’s historic Ashes Tour Match between the Chairman’s XI and England in Alice Springs, as well as the Under 19 International cricket series held in Darwin. “These games are an important opportunity for our junior cricketers to see the elite stars of the game in action up close and see first-hand what is needed to perform at the top level of the sport. “Some of the big names coming up for the series include Phillip Hughes, Mitchell Starc, all-rounder James Faulkner, one of the best finishers in One Day International cricket, Australian Twenty20 top order batsman Cameron White and the Territory’s own Kane Richardson.
