  • GROWTH EXPECTED During This Time, Fingall Said They Will IF All Goes Well, the Barbados Throughout the Year
    Established October 1895 Barbados wins Wellness Destination of the Year PAGE 2 Thursday January 30, 2020 $1 VAT Inclusive Stadium to close for track repair By Corey Greaves WORK on the track at the National Stadium is expected to begin from this Saturday, forcing the closure of the stadium until February 11. This was revealed by Chairman of the National Sports Council (NSC), MacDonald Fingall, during a media briefing at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex yesterday. It follows an interview which Minister of Sports, John King, had recently, regarding the same closure of the track and the relocation of school sports for some schools. The Mondo track at the National Stadium was laid in 2013 and Fingall said that representatives from the company are coming in to do remedial work on the track. “They have sent in the equipment and tools that are necessary and we got that cleared. We knew it was coming, but because of how things can be with Customs in terms of clearing stuff, we didn’t want to do anything until we got it cleared.” Now that the equipment and tools have been cleared, Fingall said that everything seems to be in place and the Mondo representatives have strict orders in terms of what the NSC needs and they have met all of those things. The Mondo team is expected to arrive tomorrow, Friday, and the stadium will have to be closed while they work. They have said it will take seven days and then some time for it to cure. “So I would say in ten days we will be ready to roll again,” said Fingall, who also mentioned they have alerted the Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, Cleviston Haynes, in a press conference at the Bank yesterday to give a review schools that had been booked during of Barbados’ economic performance for 2019.

  • 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.

The Australians amassed a massive 303-run innings lead in blistering heat and then reduced the battle-weary tourists to 93 for four at the close with a day to play. Compounding England’s woes was a finger injury for skipper Joe Root, his team’s last major hope of staving off a 4-0 series rout today’s final day of the Test. Root was unbeaten on 42 at the close with Jonny Bairstow not out 17. Lyon captured the important wickets of Alastair Cook and Dawid Malan to have two for 31 off 19 overs at stumps. “I think Gaz (Lyon) is the key tomorrow.
