1 Jul 2011 Last updated at 7:40 amLER(Low Economy Rate) x LSR(Low Strike Rate) = X Factor(Bowlers)

 

In a cricket match, a captain always wants his bowlers to give less runs and pick wickets in less over, and in all situation, and all format.

If one has to multiply  LER  x LSR you will get an X- Factor of your bowler.

Low Economy Rate ( aka Runs/Over)

Ideal bowler should have an economy rate of less than 4.50 runs in a ODI and less than 3.50 Runs in a Test match.

Low Scoring Rate (aka Strike Rate)

Ideally a bowler with a strike rate between  40/50  balls per wicket is an effective bowler.

Example

Glen McGrath (Australia in Pakistan, 3- Test series, 1998)

Inns :  4

Overs (Balls) 120.5 (725)

Runs: 344

Wickets :  12

Formula :

L E R (R/O) = 344 / 120.5 = 2.84

L S R (St. Rate) = 725 / 12 = 60. 42

X – FACTOR = 2.84 x 60.42 = 172

30 Jun 2011 Last updated at 5:24 pmBatsman’s Value

Batsman’s Value : Batsman’s Total Runs divided by Team’s Batting Average in an Inning.

From this we can find each Batsman’s Value in an Inning, and see trend analysis of his in various Innings, in different situation, circumstances, conditions & against various opponents, and see how effective he performs in terms of helping his team win matches.

A Baseline Percentage for this Indicator should be :

Team Average (Approx Points) = 35.00 and more

Batsman’s Value  (Approx % )  = 0.50 and more

If this formula is maintained, then it would a rarity, and strange for a Batsman not to score more than 25 Runs per Inning!.

30 Jun 2011 Last updated at 5:01 pmRole Play(%)

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…

J Langer ( Australia in Pakistan, 3- Test series 1998)

Inns : 5

Runs : 211

Langer’s Inning-wise score, and team’s  contribution while he was at the crease in Pakistan.

Langer’s Score

End Score FOW

295(90.3 overs)
279
116/ 279 = 41.57
14
39(9.1 overs)
67(20.3overs)
28
14 / 28 = 50.00
30
38 (13.5 overs)
105(46.5overs)
67
30 / 67 = 44. 77
51
27 (7.2 overs)
152(65.1overs)
125
51 / 125 = 40.8

30 Jun 2011 Last updated at 3:29 pmScoring Shots & Scoring Rate(The Most accurate indicator in a cricket match).

 

Scoring Shot : A Run scored from Single Ball of a Bat.

They are 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 6s , & any added runs acquired from overthrows. Extras are not added to Batsman’s scoring shot.

 

Scoring Rate : Balls divided by number Scoring Shots.

In this a Batsman’s hits are counted and not the value of that shot, and they are classified by 1s, 2s, 4s, 6s & so on.

Here we can find out a Batsman’s capacity to score Runs, and how his team is moving along.

On the other side we can also find how much a Bowler is conceding, and after how many balls.  Same theory can be applied for Team’s Progression.

 

Scoring Rate in Singles & Boundaries

If we classify these Scoring Shots into Singles, and Boundaries we would know how the Team and their Batsmen are moving along these Scoring Shots, & their speed(less balls per scoring shot).

We can also find Fielding Team’s Progression, and identify if their Defense is getting stronger(more balls per scoring shot), and when, or is it getting weaker, and all this can be found out in any selected period of a match.

All this can be done by counting number of scoring shots in an over, and see its development in every over of an inning.

In short, from Scoring Shots, one can find the Progression of both Teams(Bat /Bowl) in any period of time, and give us a fair understanding of where teams have reached in achieving their respective goals in that match.

 

This is the most accurate indicator in a Cricket match.

 

 

Example for Calculating Scoring Rate Formula:

M.Slater 1st Inn vs Pakistan @ Rawalpindi, 1st October, 1998.

Runs 108, Balls 236, Scoring Shots 60(1s x 38, 2s x 10, 4s x 11, 6s x 1)

 

 

FORMULA

Balls per Scoring Shot : 236 / 60 = 3.93

Scoring Rate per 100 balls : 60 / 236 = 25.42

Singles per 100 balls : 38 / 236 = 16.10

Other Scoring shots per 100 balls : 10 / 236 = 4.23

Boundaries per 100 balls : (11 + 1) / 236  = 5.08
