Cricketer Of The Year
So... I was thinking about the amount of cricket played at the moment, and I wanted to get an idea how players within and between countries played. I also wanted to see how players in and out of the team compared to those completely in it. But what I didn't want was just numbers of matches, I wanted to think also about the amount of time playing.
I've had a look at doing this for Australia, and I thought I'd post to get people's opinions on how I've done it before I do the same for other teams, and hopefully I can use any suggestions and then complete for the other international teams.
How I calculated:
I have added extra days to the match length, to take account of training directly associated with the match. I have used the following (from looking at what the players seem to be up to). What I'm least sure about is whether the list A should be 2 days.
- test match = 7 days
- ODIs = 3 days
- T20I = 2 days
- FC match = length+1 day (eg usually 5 days)
- List A = 3 days
- T20 = 2 days
I have used 27th September as the cut-off date, so it's not yet quite a year. But I hope it will be once I've finished the analysis.
I have used all players who have represented Australia on at least one occasion.
Flaws
- I haven't included the 12th man
- How can I actually display my spreadsheet well?
What I want to do but haven't
- Add in a column to show days away on tour but not included in the playing section. I think this is going to be labour intensive.
Here is the data...
Constructive criticism would be very welcome
