As a reminder, there is no cost for the introductory membership through June 30, A team selection is done using a short cricket series by using linear integer programming.
Various measures used in the literature are discussed in detail and the measure is proposed which is derived by comparing the individual performance with the team performance in the series. Lemmer After or while the team is selected, optimal ordering of the batsmen and predicting the match outcomes are performed to forecast the success of the team selected.
An optimal team line up is found from the huge combinatorial space using simulated annealing algorithm by considering the batting and bowling characteristics of the selected players. The combination of a supervised and unsupervised algorithm is used to predict the outcome of the one-day international match by using linear regression and nearest neighbor clustering methods.
Using these methods, a total number of runs to be scored in the match is forecasted which is one of the important components in predicting the outcome of the match. Historic features extracted from the previous matches is combined with the ongoing match features like a number of wickets and runs scored are used in prediction Sankaranarayanan et al. The logistic regression model is used to extract features from the one-day cricket as the match is in progress, which reduces the parameters dramatically.
Cross-validation method is used to decide the parameters which need to be used for the model Asif and McHale A software tool crickAI is developed using the machine learning technique bayesian classifier to predict the outcome of the one-day match. Factors like scoring, both the team strengths, toss, day-night match effect, home ground advantage are factors used for analysis Kaluarachchi and Aparna The score made by each team and difference between the scores of both the teams are approximated to the normal distribution, which facilitates the use of multiple linear regression to predict a score of the team batting first and victory margin in ODI Bailey and Clarke Multinomial logistic regression is used to predict the outcome of the test match as a multinominal response win, draw, loss using the match position at the session start and pre-match team strength and other features of test cricket Akhtar and Scarf In this research, we propose a framework which predicts the outcome of the matches and performs team analysis and recommends the player role by extracting the statistics about the cricket game and players from various websites.
The contributions of the proposed frame work are as follows: 1 Extract the unstructured data about match and players from the sports website and are stored in the database. The proposed framework for match win prediction, team analysis and player recommendation comprised of four phases: Player specific data collection, player performance quantification, model for win prediction and team structure analysis and player preferred role recommendation system as shown in the Fig.
In the first phase, the unstructured match data is pre-processed and stored in the data store. This data is input to next phase viz. This player statistics and player quantification details are used in later two phases. In win prediction and team structure analysis phase, the player quantification and historic match win or lose data is used to train the SVM for predicting the win or loss percentage.
In the final phase, the clustering and k-nearest neighbor methods are used to recommend the preferred role for given player. To collect the statistics of the match we have considered cricket World Cup CWC and the scorecards provided in the Howstat.
These score cards are retrieved and the contents are stored into the database. MySql files are created using the score card data which contains the tables batting card, bowling card, match card and player card. Batting card contains batting statistics per innings wise for all players, bowling card contains bowling statistics per innings wise for all players, match card contains data about each match.
The player card contains the records of complete professional details about each player in the squad announced by each team. From this database, an aggregate data about the performance statistics for both batting and bowling roles for the whole tournament is extracted and stored. From this aggregated values different performance measures are evaluated about the batsmen, bowlers, and overall tournament averages.
The details of the same are explained in the next section. Performance measures derived for players and tournament using the players and match statistics helps coaches and captains in team selection, win prediction, team analysis and decide the role for a given player. To create the performance measures and to rank the players, we have used the statistics derived and stored in the database in the previous section.
People have worked on different types of game data to derive the performance measures about the players and specific games. In cricket, the ranking of the players is done using the batting average, a strike rate of the batsman, average number of wickets taken and the runs conceded by the bowlers. Measuring the performance of the players with only these measures may not be sufficient. Along with these measures, consistency of the batsman and weights is associated with the strength of opponents to measure the player performance Lemmer , Similarly, methods are proposed to find one measure for bowling performance and use the type of wickets taken by the bowler top order batsmen or tail end batsmen to rank the players Lemmer To select the player for international cricket matches, performance measures are evaluated for the player with records of the local performances, which could be correlated to international level measures Lemmer So to find the outcome of the match specific measures of player needs to be used, which could be compared with the opponent team player measures.
The details of performance measure evaluations for both batsmen and bowlers are given in the following sections.
This data is further used to compute the features which aid in quantifying the players. The Batting Average BA given in Equation 1 gives the average runs scored by the batsman in the tournament which considers only the innings played by the batsman and it subtracts it with the number of times batsman was not out during the innings in the tournament NOI.
This is considered because of the assumption that the batsman would have scored more number of runs in case he had a chance of batting. The Batting strike rate BS given in Equation 2 provides the information about an average number of runs scored per balls faced by the batsman.
The aggressiveness of the batsman is measured by the capability of the batsman to hit more number of fours and sixes. As we are quantifying the players and rank them in the order for particular series, We have devised a method in which the overall performance of the tournament is considered.

The performance of the players depends on various factors such as the opposition team, the venue, his current form etc. The team management, the coach and the captain select 11 players for each match from a squad of 15 to 20 players.
They analyze different characteristics and the statistics of the players to select the best playing 11 for each match. Each batsman contributes by scoring maximum runs possible and each bowler contributes by taking maximum wickets and conceding minimum runs. This paper attempts to predict the performance of players as how many runs will each batsman score and how many wickets will each bowler take for both the teams.
Both the problems are targeted as classification problems where number of runs and number of wickets are classified in different ranges. Random Forest classifier was found to be the most accurate for both the problems. Each team is a right blend of batsmen, bowlers and allrounders. Allrounders are the players who can both bat and bowl and they contribute by scoring runs and taking wickets.
Each player contributes towards the overall performance of the team by giving his best performance in each match. It is important to select the right players that can perform the best in each match. The performance of a player also depends on several factors like his current form, his performance against a particular team, his performance at a particular venue etc.
A very small number of researchers have studied the performance of cricket players. Muthuswamy and Lam[1] predicted the performance of Indian bowlers against seven international teams against which the Indian cricket team plays most frequently. They used back DOI: Wikramasinghe[2] predicted the performance of batsmen in a test series using a hierarchical linear model. Barr and Kantor[3] defined a criterion for comparing and selecting batsmen in limited overs cricket.
They defined a new measure P out i. Then they define a selection criterion based on P out , strike rate and batting average of the batsmen. Iyer and Sharda[4] used neural networks to predict the performance of players where they classify batsmen and bowlers separately in three categories — performer, moderate and failure.
Based on the number of times a player has received different ratings, they recommend if the player should be included in the team to play World Cup Jhanwar and Paudi[5] predict the outcome of a cricket match by comparing the strengths of the two teams. For this, they measured the performances of individual players of each team. They developed algorithms to model the performances of batsmen and bowlers where they determine the potential of a player by examining his career performance and then his recent performances.
Lemmer[6] defined a new measure called Combined Bowling Rate to measure the performance of bowlers. The combined bowling rate is a combination of three traditional bowling measures: bowling average, strike rate and economy. Bhattacharjee and Pahinkar. They also determined other factors that affect the performance of bowlers and applied multiple regression model to identify the factors that are empirically responsible for the performance of bowlers.
He generated a directed and weighted network of batsmen-bowlers using player-vs-player information available for test and ODI cricket. He also generated a network of batsmen and bowlers using the dismissal record of batsmen in the history of cricket. The new measure for batsmen takes into account the quality of each bowler he is facing and the new measure for bowlers considers the quality of each batsman he is bowling to.
The aggregate of individual performance of a batsman against each bowler is the total performance index of the batsman. Similarly, the aggregate of individual performance of a bowler against each batsman is the total performance index of the bowler.
Parker, Burns and Natarajan. Their model considered factors like previous bidding price of the player, experience of the player, strike rate etc. Prakash, Patvardhan. Ovens and Bukiet [12] applied a mathematical approach to suggest optimal batting orders for ODI matches. Schumaker et. Haghighat et. Hucaljuk and Rakipovik [15] used machine learning techniques to predict outcomes of football matches.
McCullagh [16] used neural networks for player selection in Australian Footbal League. Our work is probably the first generalized approach to predict how many runs will a batsman score and how many wickets will a player take on a particular match day.
Muthuswamyand Lam[1] carried out a similar study predicting how many wickets will a bowler take using neural networks but their work was limited to eight Indian bowlers and is difficult to generalize for all the bowlers in the world. We used some supervised machine learning algorithms to build prediction models that can be used to predict the performance of any player in a given match. For batting, we considered matches played from January 14, to July 10, For bowling, we considered matches played from January 2, to July 10, The senior most player during this span was PA de Silva, so we collected innings by innings list of the performance of all the batsmen from March 31, when he played his first ODI match.
Since the past stats of the players such as average, strike rate etc. We imported all the data in MySQL tables and used php to manipulate them.
For predictive analytics, we used Weka and Dataiku. Both these tools are a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining and also provide some preprocessing functionalities.
These attributes are as follows: 4. This attribute signifies the experience of the batsman. The more innings the batsman has played, the more experienced the player is. Batting Average: Batting average commonly referred to as average is the average number of runs scored per innings. This attribute indicates the run scoring capability of the player. In limited overs cricket, it is important to score runs at a fast pace.
More runs scored at a slow pace is rather harmful to the team as they have a limited number of overs. This attribute indicates how quickly the batsman can score runs. This attribute indicates the capability of the player to play longer innings and score more runs.
Chris Rogers had a profitable Test career from that age onwards, Adam Voges much the same. Khawaja, enjoying a mastery of his game, could still have several years to offer. Retaining him need not necessarily be a straight shootout with Head. He is a career first drop or opener, internationally and domestically. Harris does not deserve to be punted in his own right — his 76 in Melbourne was an important innings — and he has looked better since then. But he is strongly inclined to loose dismissals for middling scores, of which his nick behind from Leach for 27 to end his match here was just the latest.
If the question is purely who is the better player between he and Khawaja, there are no grounds for debate.
At 29 years old with 14 Tests behind him, Harris cannot keep being defined as a project player. None of which means Khawaja is some batting god.
