Batsman’s Role –Play : Team’s Progress Score during a Batsman’s Stay. Its basically sum of all partnerships for a batsman in an inning.
A Fall-of-Wicket Indicator, only shows when a Batsman got out and in which over, but, not when he came into Bat, which is the most important Indicator(along with FOW) to measure a Batsman’s Role-play in a Team.
Apart from scoring Runs, a Batsman is also responsible for Team’s progress, as it becomes very important how much a Team has moved along in terms of scoring Runs while he was at the crease.
Similarly to Batsman’s Value, this Indicator helps us to find out a Batsman’s Contribution(along with his batting partner)to his Team in an Inning.
If one has Overs Data (fall of wickets) then it becomes more accurate to know “Staying ability” along with Runs Contribution for Batsman and his Team.
FORMULA
Batsman Score / (FOW- Begin Score = Team’s Progress Score)
A Sample…
