  • Quantifying Individual Performance in Cricket $-$ a Network Analysis Of
    Quantifying individual performance in Cricket − A network analysis of Batsmen and Bowlers Satyam Mukherjee Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208 USA Abstract Quantifying individual performance in the game of Cricket is critical for team selection in International matches. The number runs scored by batsmen and wickets taken by bowlers serves as a natural way of quantifying the performance of a cricketer. Traditionally the batsmen and bowlers are rated on their batting or bowling average respectively. However in a game like Cricket it is always important the manner in which one scores the runs or claims a wicket. Scoring runs against a strong bowling line-up or delivering a brilliant performance against a team with strong batting line-up deserves more credit. A player’s average is not able to capture this aspect of the game. In this paper we present a refined method to quantify the ‘quality’ of runs scored by a batsman or wickets taken by a bowler. We explore the application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to rate the players in a team performance. We generate directed and weighted network of batsmen-bowlers using the player-vs-player information available for Test cricket and ODI cricket. Additionally we generate network of batsmen and bowlers based on the dismissal record of batsmen in the history of cricket - Test (1877 − 2011) and ODI (1971 − 2011). Our results show that M Muralitharan is the arXiv:1208.5184v2 [physics.soc-ph] 16 Aug 2013 most successful bowler in history of Cricket. Our approach could potentially be applied in domestic matches to judge a player’s performance which in turn pave the way for a balanced team selection for International matches.
