  • 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.

  • Ashwin Spoils Jennings Debut Ton with Three-Wicket Burst
    Sports FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2016 Pak has poor 1st day on Aust tour CAIRNS: Pakistan’s cricket tour of Australia got off to a shaky start yesterday when the visitors were all out for 208 on the first day of a three-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI. Playing with a near full-strength lineup and with a pink ball in the day-night match in preparation for the first test on Dec. 15 in Brisbane - also a day-night encounter - Pakistan lost six wickets in the final session under lights. Cricket Australia XI bowler Cameron Valente claimed four wickets, including three of Pakistan’s top six. After winning the toss and electing to bat, the visitors fell to 50-3 midway through the opening session, and wickets went down steadily from there. Only veteran Younis Khan offered sustained resistance, facing 138 balls before he inside-edged a ball from Ryan Lees that swung back slightly under lights to be caught behind for 54. He was the only Pakistan batsman to reach 50. Earlier yesterday, Pakistan officials said uncapped 17-year-old left-arm spinner Mohammad Asghar would join the team as a backup for injured legspinner Yasir Shah. Shah is doubtful for the first test following a back injury which also ruled him out of the Cairns match. Asghar has taken 68 wickets in 17 first-class matches since making his debut in 2014. Shah had been pivotal to Pakistan’s suc- cess in test matches for the last two years, taking 116 wickets in only 20 tests.

  • Cricket Mix Optimization Using Heuristic Framework After Ensuring Markovian Equilibrium
    Journal of Sports Analytics 7 (2021) 155–168 155 DOI 10.3233/JSA-200479 IOS Press Cricket mix optimization using heuristic framework after ensuring Markovian equilibrium Subhasis Raya,∗ and Soma Roychowdhuryb aBusiness Analytics and Systems Management, Indian Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management, College Square West, Kolkata, West Bengal, India bIndian Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management, College Square West, Kolkata, West Bengal, India Abstract. International Cricket Council, in consultation with its member boards, prepares the Future Tours and Programme (FTP) which is an eight year long itinerary covering world championships in three formats of cricket, bilateral series and other tournaments. However, the FTP (2015–2023) had been criticized for its asymmetric itinerary and the point system for World Test championship and the FTP (2023–2031) is being criticized for including eight championships in limited formats and enhanced workload for players. Cricket mix standardization like marketing and product mix can work in homogeneous markets. This study derives three homogeneous markets of four teams each using hierarchical cluster analysis. For each market, it finds out the Markovian equilibrium analyzing cricket mix transition over past years. While the same can be used to derive the number of games per format per country, the study proposes a heuristic approach for fine tuning the same taking care of major stakeholders’ (e.g. Administrators, Players and Spectators) aspirations. Despite scores of criticisms and articles on the issue, there is hardly any scholastic contribution on game scheduling in the extant literature. This study thus is a pioneering effort in helping the policy makers to create a balance between cricket formats within each homogeneous market.

  • Being on the Bench Was Not a Choice That They Made
    Being-on-the-Bench: An Existential Analysis of the Substitute in Sport Abstract Being a substitute in sport appears to contradict the rationale behind being involved in that sport, especially in those sports whereby substitutes frequently remain unused or are brought on to the field of play for the final moments of that game. For the coach or manager, substitutes function as a way to improve the team achieving a particular end, namely to win the game; whether to replace an injured or tired player, to change a team’s structure or tactics, to complete a specialised manoeuvre (such as goal kicking in American football or a short corner in hockey), or to run down the clock. Whether a substitute is afforded an opportunity of playing the game appears to be directed by others; arguably if one had a choice in the matter one would chose to be on the field of play rather than off it. Nevertheless, the Existentialist position is that our situation is always inexorably one that is freely chosen. To argue that one has not freely chosen one’s position is to be ‘inauthentic’. Furthermore, to conceptualise one’s manifestation and to be treated by others as a thing ‘in-itself’ – such as a substitute - is to fall into ‘bad faith’. Culbertson (1) has already argued that elite competitive sport is an arena which promotes rather than avoids bad faith due to its constituent factors. Culbertson’s frame of reference primarily applied to sporting events that involve individuals competing in co-active, parallel competition - such as athletics, swimming or weightlifting - whereby bad faith is generated via a tacit acceptance of ever- improving and quantifiable performance.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.
