  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

Then, whilst in Sydney, for NSW from 2014 to 2018. Will returned to NZ later last year, accepted a contract with ACA and joined Parnell.

This enabled NZ to win the Test by 123 runs and so take out the series.

  • Impact of Power Play Overs on the Outcome of Twenty20 Cricket Match 1Dibyojyoti Bhattacharjee, 2Manish Pandey*, 3Hemanta Saikia, 4Unni Krishnan Radhakrishnan
    Annals of Applied Sport Science, vol. 4, no. 1, pp. 39-47, Spring 2016 DOI: 10.7508/aass.2016.01.007 Original Article www.aassjournal.com www.AESAsport.com ISSN (Online): 2322 – 4479 Received: 18/11/2015 ISSN (Print): 2476–4981 Accepted: 08/05/2016 Impact of Power Play Overs on the Outcome of Twenty20 Cricket Match 1Dibyojyoti Bhattacharjee, 2Manish Pandey*, 3Hemanta Saikia, 4Unni Krishnan Radhakrishnan 1Department of Statistics, Assam University, Silchar, Assam, India. 2Department of Statistics, Faculty of Guest, Cachar College, Silchar, Assam, India. 3Department of Social Science, College of Sericulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam, India. 4Texas Cricket Academy, Texas, USA. ABSTRACT This study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a Twenty20 match. Based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. The developed measure is called ‘Prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of the teams during power play overs. The team with better performance in both the skills during power play is expected to win the match. But it would be difficult to predict the outcome of a match if the performance of a team is better in bowling and worse in batting and vice-versa. A total of 261 matches from different seasons of Indian Premier League (IPL) are considered for the study. The outcomes of 220 matches are predicted based on the performance of two teams in power play out of which 153 of them were correctly predicted.

  • Are Strategies for Success Different in Test Cricket and One-Day Internationals? Evidence from England-Australia Rivalry1
    Journal of Sports Analytics 4 (2018) 175–191 175 DOI 10.3233/JSA-180191 IOS Press Are strategies for success different in test cricket and one-day internationals? Evidence from England-Australia rivalry1 Nafisa Lohawalaa and Mohammad Arshad Rahmanb,∗ aDepartment of Economics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA bDepartment of Economic Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India Abstract. The paper utilizes the entire cricketing data between England and Australia – Test and one-day international (ODI) matches played between 1877-2015 and 1971-2015, respectively – to provide an econometric perspective on the England- Australia rivalry. We employ the production function approach of Schofield (1988) and model Test match outcomes (loss, draw or win) using an ordinal probit model and ODI outcomes (loss or win) using a binary probit model. The results show that input measures critical to winning are different for the two formats and consequently a team should adopt different strategies in Test and ODI matches. We further show that influences which are perceived as important to match outcomes, including electing to bat first after winning the toss and effect of weather conditions, do not have any statistical support. However, there is strong evidence that England is at a disadvantage while playing a Test match in Australia. Besides, we find that home bias as typically defined in the literature may not necessarily indicate favoritism by umpires. The estimated models fit well and correctly predict about 70% of Test match outcomes and 95% of ODI outcomes. Keywords: Ashes Series, follow-on, home bias, home team advantage, ordinal probit 1.
