Indoor Cricket 17 Adjustments were made and matches slowly resumed, with the Gabba hosting the Sponsors 18 Second Test of the summer against India in a re-scheduled calendar. The switch of dates did not change the result, with Australia’s enviable record of Australian Representatives 19 not losing a Test at the venue for more than 25 years remaining intact.

All-Time First-Class Statistics 71 The switch to the KFC T20 Big Bash League came swiftly, and the fourth instalment of the increasingly popular tournament had definite highs and lows for the Brisbane All-Time Sheffield Shield Statistics 76 Heat. While the family friendly matches drew crowds that exceeded 100,000 for the All-Time One-Day Records 80 first time to the four home games, the team was unable to strike a consistent or rich One-Day Honour Roll 84 vein of form and finished eighth.

The Fire led the WNCL one-day competition for most of the season, but stumbled late in the competition to lose to South Australia in the semi-final. In the WT20, the team was unable to defend the title it won last year. The Fire finished on the same points as the second-placed Victorian team but saw the Spirit go through to the decider on net run rate. Allrounder Jessica Jonassen was a stand-out performer in the WNCL for the Fire, winning the national award as player of the year. The Indoor game continues to provide highlights on an individual and team basis, with national titles in 2014 to the Thunder and Lightning teams and several players involved in a winning World Cup campaign for men and women in four divisions.

  • 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.

Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings. For coaches and captains, dossiers of 25 pages are common; these dissect the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, suggest set-plays, which are the optimum ways that a bowler can set up a batsman, and explain the best parts of the ground to target and which end might suit each bowler best This research paper will delve into a potential winning strategy for a T20 side.
