  • 02, Jun 2016 the Lions Show in Saurashtra IPL Debutant Gujarat
    02, Jun 2016 The Lions show in Saurashtra IPL debutant Gujarat Lions almost scripted a fairy tale, they lost in the virtual semifinal, but they won many hearts not only in Rajkot but everywhere they played, but undoubtedly the foundation was laid at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium in Khanderi. A look at all their five matches which they played in one of the most magnificent stadium in the world… Match No 1 Lions off to a great start The home team started their campaign in Rajkot with a crushing seven-wicket win against Rising Pune Supergiants. It was billed as the match between MS Dhoni versus his boys as most of the Gujarat Lions players this year are former Dhoni’s team mates when he was leading the now disbanded Chennai Super Kings team. Batting first Supergiants looked set for a score in excess of 180, but a superb display of defensive bowling towards the end turned the contest in Lions' favour. Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum then effectively killed the game by pillaging 62 in the Powerplay, during their chase of 164. MS Dhoni had pulled back some momentum for Supergiants by contributing to a 20-run last over in the first innings, but his bowlers threw it all away. Loose deliveries stacked up, and the Lions openers duly dispatched them. Four fours and two sixes off the seamers, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma, meant Dhoni turned to M Ashwin in the last over of the Powerplay, but Finch took the legspinner for four fours in a 19-run over.

  • Analysis of Performance of Bowlers Using Combined Bowling Rate
    ISSN 1750-9823 (print) International Journal of Sports Science and Engineering Vol. 06 (2012) No. 03, pp. 184-192 Analysis of Performance of Bowlers using Combined Bowling Rate 1 Dibyojyoti Bhattacharjee , Darshan G Pahinkar 1 Department of Business Administration, Jawaharlal Nehru School of Management Studies, Assam University, Silchar, India, Email: [email protected] 2 Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India (Received January 5, 2012, accepted May 19, 2012) Abstract. Bowling and batting have always been the most important aspects of the game of cricket. But with advent of the newest version of cricket with twenty overs-a-side the task of the bowlers are believed to have become difficult. This paper attempts to use the combined bowling rate to quantify the performance of a sample of bowlers who participated in the fourth season of the Indian Premier League. Based on relevant literature a set of predictors that can influence the performance of the bowlers were determined. Multiple linear regression technique was then used to identify the reasons that are empirically responsible for the performance of the bowlers. It was also observed that experience of the bowler and combined bowling rate at Tewnty20 internationals are the most significant predictors that are responsible for the performance of bowlers in IPL IV. Keywords: Combined bowling rate, Cricket, Data Analysis in Sports. 1. Introduction In the game of cricket, the batsman shall try to score as many runs as he can, without losing his wicket and the bowler’s job is to get the batsman out i.e. to dismiss him. In case of limited over games, in addition to dismissing a batsman, the bowler may also try to restrict the batsman from scoring, because the bowler has to bear with a trade off, that he should not give away many runs while experimenting in getting the batsmen out.
