The 3rd XI playing “league” cricket for the first time since 1996, did well to win two pool games, and Richard Down was the leading wicket taker in that “pool”. The Fuller Cup was won by the 4th XI, despite also providing most of the 3rd XI players for one of the league wins. They had an epic win against Ashtead, chasing down 270 in 35 overs. Club morale was excellent: there was more mobility between the 11s than for many years; and players were able to prove their skills against stronger opposition. The 3rd XI enjoyed the challenge enough to join Surrey Championship Division 6 East in 2021, where the level of play should be within our capabilities. The 4th XI will continue to play friendlies, so we can continue to offer a choice of game for those joining us. Sunday results were more successful and ended with a run fest at Oberon: The Bank just failed to chase down 230 as Peter Andrews the sun set and the opposition’s West Indian supporters Club Chairman enjoyed the hilarity of a last over runout.

When I look back on my involvement with the School, which started in 1955 as I joined what is now the Lower 1st, I am amazed by the changes that I have seen. To those at the School in recent times it must seem incredible that in the mid 1950s we had no swimming pool, no sports complex, in fact no new buildings since the Haling Park site opened in the early 1930s - and not even an organ in Big School.

Chapter 2 considers the decision problem of when to declare during the third innings of a test cricket match. There are various factors that affect the decision of the declaring team including the target score, the number of overs remaining, the relative desire to win versus draw, and the scoring characteristics of the particular match. Decision rules are developed and these are assessed against historical matches. We observe that there are discrepancies between the optimal time to declare and what takes place in practice.

  • Player Evaluation in Twenty20 Cricket
    Journal of Sports Analytics 1 (2015) 19–31 19 DOI 10.3233/JSA-150002 IOS Press Player evaluation in Twenty20 cricket Jack Davis, Harsha Perera and Tim B. Swartz∗ Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby BC, Canada Received: 3 November 2014; revised 7 March 2015; accepted: 26 April 2015 Abstract. This paper introduces a new metric for player evaluation in Twenty20 cricket. The proposed metric of “expected run differential” measures the proposed additional runs that a player contributes to his team when compared to a standard player. Of course, the definition of a standard player depends on their role and therefore the metric is useful for comparing players that belong to the same positional cohort. We provide methodology to investigate both career performances and current form. Our metrics do not correlate highly with conventional measures such as batting average, strike rate, bowling average, economy rate and the Reliance ICC ratings. Consequently, our analyses of individual players based on results from international competitions provide some insights that differ from widely held beliefs. We supplement our analysis of player evaluation by investigating those players who may be overpaid or underpaid in the Indian Premier League. Keywords: Relative value statistics, simulation, Twenty20 cricket 1. Introduction In sports of a “discrete” nature (e.g. baseball) where there are short bursts of activity and players have Player evaluation is the Holy Grail of analytics well-defined and measurable tasks that do not depend in professional team sports.

This paper predicts Star Cricketers (SCs) from batting and bowling domains by employing supervised machine learning models. With this aim, each player’s performance evolution is retrieved by using effective features that incorporate the standard performance measures of each player and their peers. Prediction is performed by applying Bayesian- rule, function and decision-tree-based models. Experimental evaluations are performed to validate the applicability of the proposed approach. In par- ticular, the impact of the individual features on the prediction of SCs are analyzed. Moreover, the category and model-wise feature evaluations are also conducted. A cross-validation
