Alex Wakely (96-07) Alex was picked for the England under-19s tour of Sri Lanka in 2006/07, scoring England's only century of the tri-nation series with 108 from 140 balls against Sri Lanka. In August, he scored a century on his 'Test' debut for England under-19s against Pakistan. On 1 October 2007, he was selected as the England under-19s captain for the 2008 World Cup.. In 2004, Alex joined the staff of Northamptonshire whilst still at Bedford School. He scored 81* on his Northamptonshire Second XI debut aged just 15. In July 2007, he made his first-class debut for Northamptonshire against Somerset. He made scores of 38 and 66, as well as taking two wickets including that of Marcus Trescothick. In June 2009, Alex scored his maiden first-class century against Glamorgan, scoring 113*. In 2013, Alex captained the Northants team in limited overs cricket. This proved to be a successful move; the team finished second in its group in the 40 over league, and won the T20 competition. Alex played in all of the T20 matches that season and played a key role in the final, scoring 59 from 30 balls. He missed the whole of the 2014 season because of an Achilles tendon injury that he received during the club's pre-season tour of Barbados. He returned for the 2015 season recovered, and having been appointed captain in all forms of cricket. He scored two first-class centuries in the season, including a personal highest score of 123 against Leicestershire. Northants once again reached the final of the T20 competition, but this time unfortunately lost to Lancashire. The next year, Northants returned to Twenty20 finals day with Alex again captain, and were this time victorious. He was involved in century partnerships in both the semi-final and the final. In the semi, against Notts he and Ben Duckett took Northants from 15/3 to 138/4, himself scoring 53 from 45 balls. The final was versus Durham, and Alex came in to bat with the score at 9/3, and shared in a partnership of 120 with Josh Cobb. During his time at Northampton, Alex has played over 360 matches and scoring over 11,500 runs in a career spanning over 13-years to date. .

Analytics of Batting First in Indian Premier League Twenty20 Cricket Matches Christopher R. Brydges NIH West Coast Metabolomics Center University of California, Davis [email protected] Manuscript DOI: 10.31236/osf.io/jq564 THIS MANUSCRIPT IS A PREPRINT AND HAS NOT UNDERGONE ANY PEER- REVIEW. Please cite as: Brydges, C. R. (2021). Analytics of batting first Indian Premier League twenty20 cricket matches. SportRxiv. https://doi.org/10.31236/osf.io/jq564 Purpose: Use ball-by-ball data from the Indian Premier League cricket tournament and machine learning techniques to predict match outcomes based on events occurring in the first inning of a match. Approach: Twelve predictor variables were entered into machine learning models (forward stepwise logistic regression using Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC); forward stepwise logistic regression using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC); random forests; naïve Bayes classifier), with match outcome as the dependent variable. Findings: The AIC model reported the highest accuracy in both the training and test datasets (69.92% and 67.18%, respectively). This model contains total runs scored, winning the coin toss, and home-ground advantage as positive predictors, and number of balls with no runs scored and number of balls with one run scored as negative predictors. All four models found that total runs scored in an inning was the most important predictor of match outcome, and no model included number of wickets lost as a predictor, although there could be an indirect effect through total runs scored. Originality: This study is novel in that it used both pre-match variables (home-ground) advantage and real-time measures (e.g., how many runs were scored in the powerplay) in a machine learning context to classify match results.
