  • A Study of the Powerplay in One-Day Cricket
    A Study of the Powerplay in One-Day Cricket Rajitha M. Silva, Ananda B.W. Manage and Tim B. Swartz ∗ Abstract This paper investigates the powerplay in one-day cricket. The rules concerning the powerplay have been tinkered with over the years, and therefore the primary motivation of the paper is the assessment of the impact of the powerplay with respect to scoring. The form of the analysis takes a \what if" approach where powerplay outcomes are substituted with what might have happened had there been no powerplay. This leads to a paired comparisons setting consisting of actual matches and hypothetical parallel matches where outcomes are imputed during the powerplay period. Some of our findings include (a) the various forms of the powerplay which have been adopted over the years have different effects, (b) recent versions of the powerplay provide an advantage to the batting side, (c) more wickets also occur during the powerplay than had there been no powerplay and (d) there is some effect in run production due to the over where the powerplay is initiated. We also investigate individual batsmen and bowlers and their performances during the powerplay. Keywords: Bayesian analysis, Cricket, Imputation, Paired comparisons, WinBUGS. ∗Rajitha Silva is a PhD candidate and Tim Swartz is Professor, Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby BC, Canada V5A1S6 (email: [email protected], phone: 778.782.4579).
