DOI: http://doi.org/10.36295/ASRO.2020.231749 1.Introduction: Originally derived from the “creag”, the game of Cricket was created in the south east part of England. The development of the primitive style cricket took place in the 17th century, but no major investments were evidenced during this period into the game. It was in the 18th century the game gained traction in the population. Press and media were on their feet by this time, but mainly focused on gambling related to the sport rather than the play. Cricket was introduced beyond America mainly by the colonization process. The first venue for the game was Yorkshire, England. The cricket clubs in London gained extreme popularity and the game spread like wildfire mainly by the 18th century. The world witnessed the first ever international match in the year 1844. It was played between the US and Canada in New York. Cricket gained further attention in 1909 with Imperial Cricket Conference. Many countries slowly went ahead and became a part of the growth of Test Cricket. This form of cricket was standardized the highest form of cricket since the 20th century. ICC (International Cricket Council) determines the test status of the national teams, based on which Test matches are executed between the teams each consisting of 11 players, which generally lasts for a period of 5 days. It is the longest match duration form of this sport. In the year 2012 ICC reformed the Test rules permitting day and night matches. It was for the first time evidenced between Australia and New Zealand at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide in the year in 2015. It is in the recent past that ICC has considered the plan of executing a day 4- day Test match compulsory for the ICC World Test Championship 2023. No World Cup for this form has taken place yet. Annals of Tropical Medicine & Public Health http://doi.org/10.36295/ASRO.2020.231749 Chattterjee et al (2020): Evolution of test cricket Nov 2020 Vol. 23 Issue 17 The shorter form of this sport is known as T20 or Twenty-20 cricket. It originated in the year 2003 and the rules were set to give each of two teams are given single innings of 20 overs. The game is much shorter and is finished with the period of three hours. It is a much faster form of the game thus making it more attractive for the viewers due to the format. The first ever T20 International was held on 5th August, 2004 between the women’s team of England and New Zealand. On 17th February 2005, the first men’s international T20 match was played between Australia and New Zealand. This format gained popularity in late 2000’s with the start of different T20 Leagues. The game is more explosive and sturdier format of the primitive game. The contest between the bat and the ball has now changed into a contest between six hitting and in-swinging yorkers(1).Strategies that a team adopts largely depend on the rules and format of the game, and interestingly, facts show that both Test and ODIs have had their own share of several modifications so that it becomes more result oriented, increase viewership and ultimately to generate more revenue. Further in future several changes have been made to the game to make it more result oriented. For example in the early days Test cricket did not have a stipulated time (therefore referred to as timeless) and it only used to end when either of the playing team won the match and thus, declaration of an inning was never really considered in those era(2).In the year 1930’s the timeless format of the game was abolished and thus declaration with follow-on was introduced in the newer five-day format of Test-cricket. Since Test matches are played over a span of multiple days, it was not viewer friendly and that led to the introduction of limited over cricket in the 1970’s(2). As the years went by performance, batting, cricket equipments, technology, playing surface, viewership and the three formats of the game also adapted to the laws(3). The sport has gained intense coverage and viewership increased with the change of format to a shorter time period. Innovation and technology took over the field with in-depth statistical and graphical analysis techniques along with cameras spread out at several angles to provide a detailed and clear view of every aspect of the game. Hawk-eye technology, high speed photography and computer graphics makes the game much intense prevent in the slightest of the disputes that can take place. This sports by far hold the biggest market in India with millions of sports fanatics all over the nation. The Indian cricket fraternity is held together by Board of control for cricket in India (BCCI) which is termed richest board all over the globe. India has a rich cricket history with historic players who have the change being born in this nation. Over the past 2 decades, there have been significant changes made to international cricket. As it was mentioned earlier, till the mid 2000s ODI and tests were the only 2 formats of cricket played at the international level, but, the introduction of the shorter and faster T20 format has changed cricket as we used to know it. Nowadays, the bats are bigger and stronger than those used earlier. Boundaries are also smaller which gives an added advantage to score quick runs(3). Hitting the ball across the park for scoring more runs had become the new normal and with the introduction of deep-pocketed IPL and other T20 leagues the ideology of players has also changed, so has the way the game has been played in other formats. Women’s cricket have gained much popularity over the last two decades but in the form of shorter formats that is ODIs and T20s. Shorter formats tends to be an obvious choice when to comes to women cricket because of the less participation and viewership as well. Not much development has gone through when it comes to women’s test cricket. An international series will typically be contested through various shorter format games, perhaps with a token of test match(4). Young cricketers who aspire to be a part of the national cricket team tend to choose the shortest format of the game to showcase their talent. Even several established players take early retirement to focus more on shorter formats of the game(2). Several T20 leagues around the globe provide a Annals of Tropical Medicine & Public Health http://doi.org/10.36295/ASRO.2020.231749 Chattterjee et al (2020): Evolution of test cricket Nov 2020 Vol. 23 Issue 17 world class platform for budding cricketers. As young cricketers are more inclined towards T20 cricket, this directly impacts on development of State Level Cricket (Ranji Trophy, County Cricket, etc.) where most of the games happen on a four day or a five day basis. When players were surveyed regarding the concerns, most of them said their main career motive is to get an IPL contract(5). The rise in the popularity of the shorter formats has had a fundamental impact on the game of cricket as a whole (6). The main objective of the study is to compare the test cricket in the last 2 decades where we can see various changes in the approach of the game before the introduction of the T20 format and its aftermath. The test cricket is not dying but people’s taste and preferences are changing(7). The author has gathered data from the past two decades to study and analyze the changes in the approach and performance of the teams towards Test cricket which includes the match results, change in run rate, runs scored in different innings etc. Many studies conclude that in cricket batting dominates more than bowling(8). Test cricket is changing with time, number of drawn games is less now i.e more results (win or loss), and trends in terms of more boundaries, batting contribution of the lower order batsmen, runs scored per wicket etc are changing(9). The introduction of T20 format in the past few years has changed a lot of prospects.

  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • Demographics, Wealth, and Global Imbalances in the Twenty-First Century
    Demographics, Wealth, and Global Imbalances in the Twenty-First Century § Adrien Auclert∗ Hannes Malmbergy Frédéric Martenetz Matthew Rognlie August 2021 Abstract We use a sufficient statistic approach to quantify the general equilibrium effects of population aging on wealth accumulation, expected asset returns, and global im- balances. Combining population forecasts with household survey data from 25 coun- tries, we measure the compositional effect of aging: how a changing age distribution affects wealth-to-GDP, holding the age profiles of assets and labor income fixed. In a baseline overlapping generations model this statistic, in conjunction with cross- sectional information and two standard macro parameters, pins down general equi- librium outcomes. Since the compositional effect is positive, large, and heterogeneous across countries, our model predicts that population aging will increase wealth-to- GDP ratios, lower asset returns, and widen global imbalances through the twenty-first century. These conclusions extend to a richer model in which bequests, individual savings, and the tax-and-transfer system all respond to demographic change. ∗Stanford University, NBER and CEPR.

  • DENNIS AMISS Dennis Played in 50 Tests Averaging Over 46 Scoring 11
    DENNIS AMISS Dennis played in 50 Tests averaging over 46 scoring 11 centuries with 262* being his highest score. In ODI’s he averaged 47 with 137 his top score. In all First Class cricket he scored over 43000 runs at an average of 43 and is on the elite list of players who have scored a century of 100’s. He also took 18 wickets. Dennis played his first game for Warwickshire in July, 1960 against Surrey at the Oval. He did not bat. In fact he watched Horner and Ibadulla share an unbroken partnership of 377 for the first wicket. In the next few years he learnt a lot about the game from Tiger Smith, Tom Dollery, and Derief Taylor, whose work as a coach has gained him a legendary reputation at Edgbaston. From 1966 he became an established player in the number three position, and was easily top of the Warwickshire averages, at 54.78 During that season Amiss played in three Test matches but success eluded him. The Australians came over in 1968, and he played in the first Test at Old Trafford. He had an unhappy game, and bagged a pair The disaster at Old Trafford may well have affected his confidence. The period from 1969 until mid-June 1972 was one of comparatively modest achievement. The summer of 1972 was a turning point for Dennis. Alan Smith, the Warwickshire captain, had six contenders for the five places available for specialist batsmen. Amiss, unable to strike form in the early weeks of the season, had to be left out of the side.

  • Objective Measures of Performance in the World Cup of Cricket
    OBJECTIVE MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE IN THE WORLD CUP OF CRICKET. Stephen R Clarke, Swinburne University of Technology, PO Box 218, Hawthorn, 3122, Australia, +61 3 9214 8885, sclarke@swin, edu. au Paul Allsopp, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, 3122, Australia, +61 3 9307 000, paulalls@telstra, easymail, com.au ABSTRACT Since luck can play a big part in tournament success, team management should use more objective measures of performance. A Linear model is used to fit least squares ratings to margins of victory in the World Cup of cricket. The Duckworth/Lewis (D/L) rain interruption rules are applied to second innings victories to create a margin of victory in runs, equivalent to that for the team batting first. Results show that while the better teams progressed through the first round of the competition, some injustices occurred in the Super-Six round. Ordering teams by average margin of victory in runs gives similar results to the linear model, and its official publication and use as a tie breaker is suggested. INTRODUCTION The 1999 World Cup of (one-day) cricket was contested by 12 teams comprising the nine test match playing countries plus Scotland, Kenya and Bangladesh. These were 'seeded' and divided into two groups. Group A comprised Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, England, Zimbabwe and Kenya. Group B comprised Australia, West Indies, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Scotland. After the round robin group matches, the top three teams from Group A (South Africa, India and Zimbabwe) and Group 13 (Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand) progressed to the Super-Six, where they played each team from the other group.
