  • Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection
    Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection Hamish Thorburn Dr Michael Forbes The University of Queensland 26/02/2015 1 1 Abstract An attempt was made to try and select the Australian Test Cricket Team for then-upcoming series against India in December-January 2014-2015. Data was collected pertaining to 37 Australian cricket players, relating to both recent form (the 12 months prior to commencement of the project) and career form across multiple formats of the game. The team was selected using a mixed-integer- programming (MIP) model, after processing the statistics collected to create usable parameters for the model. It was found that the team selected by the MIP model shared only 5 of the 11 players with the actual team selected by the Australian Board of Selectors to compete in the series. When altering parameters of the model, it was found that the batting diversity of the team could be doubled while only losing 0.008 of the available talent of selected players. The reduced costs were calculated to determine how close unselected players were to being selected, and what they would have to increase their batting/bowling averages to be considered for selection. Finally, we compared the ICC player ratings to our calculated batting and bowling indices, to try to determine the optimal weighting between the different statistics. It was found that batting average was most important in batting performance (but was more important in test matches than one-day matches) and that bowling average and economy were equally important in bowling performance. 2 Introduction 2.1 The Game of Cricket Cricket is a sport composing of opposing teams of 11 players each side.

  • Victoria V Tasmania
    Between the teams – Victoria v Tasmania The first contest between Victoria and Tasmania took place on open ground at the Launceston Racecourse on February 11 and 12, 1851, a site that was later developed as the NTCA Ground. In what is now regarded as the inaugural first-class match in Australia, Tasmania won a low-scoring contest by three wickets. Although the Sheffield Shield competition commenced in 1892/93, Tasmania was not admitted until 1977/78. It initially competed on a restricted basis, meeting each state only once per season, before being granted a full programme of home-and-away matches from 1982/83. Since finishing last in 10 of its first 18 Shield seasons, Tasmania has in recent years been consistently competitive, winning the competition for the first time in 2006/07 and repeating its success in 2010/11 and 2012/13. Victoria has won the Shield 32 times, most recently in 2018/19. LAST SEASON: At Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Oct 31, Nov 1-3, 2019.

  • One of the Boys: the (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career
    One of the Boys: The (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career Ms. Kasey Symons PhD Candidate 2019 The Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities (ISILC), Victoria University, Australia. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract: This PhD via creative work comprises an exegesis (30%) and accompanying novel, Fan Fatale (70%), which seek to contribute a creative and considered representation of some women who are fans of elite male sports, Australian Rules football in particular. Fictional representations of Australian Rules football are rare. At the time of submission of this thesis, only three such works were found that are written by women aimed to an older readership. This project adds to this underrepresented space for women writing on, and contributing their experiences to, the culture of men’s football. The exegesis and novel creatively addresses the research question of how female fans relate to other women in the sports fan space through concepts of gender bias, performance, and social surveillance. Applying the lens of autoethnography as the primary methodology to examine these notions further allows a deeper, reflexive engagement with the research, to explore how damaging these performances can be for the relationships women can have to other women. In producing this exegesis and accompanying novel, this PhD thesis contributes a new and creative way to explore the gendered complications that surround the sports fan space for women. My novel, Fan Fatale, provides a narrative which raises questions about the complicit positions women can sometimes occupy in the name of fandom and conformity to expected gendered norms.

  • Third Wins in Row for Marple and Nantwich
    Cheshire County Cricket League 2013 SEASON NEWSLETTER NO. 6: MAY 25 Neston lead by 17 points Third wins in row for Marple and Nantwich AFTER opening the season with two defeats, Marple have recovered to such an extent that Saturday’s outstanding six wickets win at Grappenhall was their third in a row and moves them up to fourth spot in the ECB Premier League. Just for once, the Marple spinners took a mauling at Broad Lane (Andy Greasley 1-88, Joe Cash 1-71) with Grappenhall piling up an impressive 259-6, Josh McClelland 68 not out and Mike Sambell, 51. Marple were up for it and their outstanding 19 year old Tasmanian Beau Webster smote 118 including 20 fours. He was aided by Mark Bennett, with 68 in as third-wicket stand worth 158, followed by Andrew Hall, 34 not out in a response of 261-4 with six overs to spare. Neston stay top with the only unbeaten record after outplaying Hyde at Parkgate, although they were unable to beat their east Manchester visitors in a game which started officially 15 minutes late with League sanction after a major motorway delay. Neston’s batsmen took the Hyde bowlers apart led by the consistent Will Evans, 85, back from Australia Jack Smith, 70 and Luke Camden also 70 – off 53 balls. The hard-working Dan Cranmer claimed 4-86 and Tom Young 3-95. Hyde worked hard to keep their innings intact before closing on 196-9, Danny Berry 32, Dave Fitzsimmons 31, Paul Stimson 4-37, Andy Clarke 3-62.
