The study investigated games played in the 2007, I.C.C. Cricket World Cup held in the West Indies. The games analysed took place in the second stage of the Cricket World called the “Super 8’s”. Fast bowlers from Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand were analysed. A specific computerised notation system called, ‘Feedback Cricket’, was used to notate the specific aspects of a bowling performance to determine if there were any differences between front-on and side-on bowlers. To examine the reliability of the study, an intra-observer reliability test was performed. Variables were tested for normality and homogeneity, to ascertain whether data was parametric or non parametric. Independent t-tests were performed on parametric data, while Mann-Whitney-U tests were performed on non- parametric data. These statistical tests enabled the researcher to establish whether the data sets were significantly different. The bowling analysis showed significant differences to exist, between front-on and side-on bowlers, in terms of delivery lengths bowled, the percentage of shots that were played and missed at and the shot type performed by the batsmen. It was concluded that these differences however, did not contribute to the overall differences in performance of the two bowling techniques, as there were no significant difference between the economy rates, bowling average and the wickets taken per match. ii Chapter I Introduction 1. Nature of the study 1.1 Introduction Cricket is a sport that has undergone numerous changes from when the first organised cricket club started at the Hambledon Club in England during the mid eighteenth century (Wynne–Thomas, 1997). The centre of power soon shifted to London, with the establishment of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), which had its headquarters at the Lord's ground. In 1835 the MCC gave cricket its first formal laws, which still stand largely intact today (Andrew, 1986). During the early twentieth century cricket had strong links with the aristocracy and the upper classes. The majority of those who served on the MCC committee were from the aristocracy of England and controlled not only English cricket but the county set up too. After the First World War cricket had become a key element in the cult of athleticism at public schools, where nearly all public schools boys had to play cricket on most summer afternoons (Williams, 1999). Cricket is now played at varying levels from school and village clubs to the elite international level. International cricket involves two forms; Test cricket, which involves two innings per side and is played over 5 days and, One Day International Cricket (ODI), which is currently played under a 50 overs per side format. 1 Figure 1. County Cricket Attendance, 1995-2001 (Thousands) (Paton and Cooke 2005). Cricket at the highest level (test cricket) is played over five days with the competing teams playing a maximum of two innings, therefore making it a long game. Robinson (1997) suggests over a period of decades spectators found this version of the game too long and time consuming to watch and its appeal became limited to enthusiastic cricket fans. This is also backed up by figure 1 stating that attendances at all types of cricket matches have fallen. Innovations such as “Day/Night” matches have been introduced with the main objective being increasing the crowds after work. Paton and Cooke (2005) found that the timing and location of games have a large impact on attendance levels. In particular evening games held under floodlights, and 2 games held at weekends or during school holidays all have significantly higher attendance than others. Day/Night cricket” has increased attendance at domestic and international one day cricket, and brings new sponsors and makes it possible to watch live cricket twenty four hours a day seven days a week from any corner of the World (Paton and Cooke, 2005). Another innovation added by the MCC is “Twenty20 Cricket”. It was first played in English domestic cricket in 2003 to popularise first-class cricket and attract more players and fans to the game. Now it has spread too many other countries. A "Twenty20 Game" consists of 20 overs per side, a free-hit after a no-ball is bowled, short boundaries, batting-friendly pitches, designed to attract crowds. However, various members of the MCC did not welcome the idea of “twenty20” cricket, indeed Woodcock (2002) believed that the 20 over game is “hardly more substantial than a game of noughts and crosses or crazy golf on the sea front”.

  • Presented Here Are the ACS's Answers to a Number of General
    Presented here are the ACS’s answers to a number of general questions about the statistics and history of cricket that arise from time to time. It is hoped that they will be of interest both to relative newcomers to these aspects of the game, and to a more general readership. Any comments, or suggestions for further questions to be answered in this section, should be sent to [email protected] Please note that this section is for general questions only, and not for dealing with specific queries about cricket records, or about individual cricketers or their performances. 1 THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRICKET What are the three formats in which top-level cricket is played? At the top level of the game – at international level, and at the level of counties in England and their equivalent in other leading countries – cricket is played in three different ‘formats’. The longest-established is ‘first-class cricket’, which includes Test matches as well as matches in England’s County Championship, the Sheffield Shield in Australia, the Ranji Trophy in India, and equivalent competitions in other countries. First-class matches are scheduled to be played over at least 3 days, and each team is normally entitled to have two innings in this period. Next is ‘List A’ cricket – matches played on a single day and in which each team is limited in the number of overs that it can bat or bowl. Nowadays, List A matches are generally arranged to be played with a limit of 50 overs per side. International matches of this type are referred to as ‘One-Day Internationals’, or ODIs.

    CONTENTS MESSAGES ARTISTIC VISION BACKGROUND ELEMENTS OF THE FESTIVAL MAIN VENUES ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ACCOMMODATION ACCREDITATION CULINARY ARTS DANCE DRAMA FASHION FILM LITERARY ARTS MUSIC PHILATELIC ARTS SECURITY SYMPOSIA TRANSPORTATION VISUAL ARTS YOUTH VILLAGE FORMS APPENDICES PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA) was born in Guyana many years ago. As the festival comes home, we welcome the opportunity to host and to embrace the artists, great creators and minds of the region as we did thirty six years ago. We are sparing no effort in preparing for this festival. Several hundred persons have been working over a long period of time on committees and working groups in order to ensure that all your expectations are met once you and your contingents arrive in our country. This underscores not only the importance we attach to this festival but to the ideal of Caribbean unity, growth and prosperity. Art transcends all barriers of time, space and person. Artists look beyond the externalities of the common and obvious, toward something greater in all humans, toward something larger than all humans. CARIFESTA therefore offers us the opportunity of transcending those things which can blind, limit and divide us as people, as nations and as a region. This festival offers us the opportunity to assess where we are, where we want to go and to fashion that direction in no uncertain terms. CARIFESTA X offers our region a chance to see what we are and what we produce, and to showcase that creativity to ourselves and the world. At this very important juncture in global economic history we must own what we originate and support those who create.

These are intended to give from an official source the more important College news and ideas. All of these eight numbers will be sent free to all mem- bers of the Haverford Union. This organization it is hoped will accomplish the purpose of bringing into closer association the various elements of College life—faculty, alumni, undergraduates. The building, thanks to the gen- erosity of Alfred Percival Smith, '84, is now completed and by the aid of Frederic H. Strawbridge, '87, and other friends is largely furnished. Its public opening was on Commencement Day. on the tenth of last June, when the alumni meeting was held there. The membership now amounts to about 250, a satisfactory beginning. But it is believed that many others will soon be added.

  • 15 Minute Guide to Scoring.Pdf
    A is-MINUTE GUIDE TO SCORING FOR PLAYERS No cricket match may take place without scorers. The purpose of this Guide is to give players who score for a few overs during a game the confidence to take their turn as a scorer to ensure that a match can take place. THE BATTING SECTION OF THE SCORING RECORD • You should have received a team list, hopefully with the batting order identified . • Record the name of the batsman in pencil or as the innings progresses - captains often change the batting order! • Indicate the captain with an asterisk (*) and the wicket keeper with a dagger symbol ( t). • When a batsman is out, draw diagonal lines / / in the 'Runs Scored' section after all entries for that batsman to show that the innings is completed. • Record the method of dismissal in the "how out" column. • Write the bowler's name in the "bowler" column only if the bowler gets credit for the dismissal. • When a batsman's innings is completed record his total score. CUMULATIVE SCORE • Use one stroke to cross off each incident of runs scored. • When more than one run is scored and the total is taken onto the next row of the cumulator this should be indicated as shown below. Cpm\llative Ryn Tally ~ 1£ f 3 .. $' v V J r. ..,. ..,. 1 .v I • ~ .., 4 5 7 7 8 9 END OF OVER SCORE • At the end of each over enter the total score, number of wickets fallen and bowler number. THE BOWLING SECTION OF THE SCORING RECORD The over • Always record the balls in the over in the same sequence in the overs box.
