I want to talk to someone who knows about cricket , stats across all forms

[weldone]

I do this with live odds. Get the odds off any betting site in decimal format. Work out 100/(odds) if you want percentage chance, bearing in mind that bookies will underestimate both sides a little in order to make money.

or take the mid-odds from betfair so that you don't have that problem

Hi There

many thanks for your reply

What sort of algorithim can you build, not worried about prettyness, im looking for likely results for positions in a game

for instance

If at the break South Africa in a T20 against say India has scored 174 what is the likelyhood they will win the game % wise

I mean probably yeah, but as other suggested, betting sides will give a far better result then any other algo.

 

[ngroocock]

Yes betfair is the real market , its efficient on football but not necessarily on Cricket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Foe that India and south Africa match, it's more of an 80% chance India loses of they play out of sub continental conditions

 

[ngroocock]

Sorry do you mean playing away from their home conditions they are far more likely to lose.
I think India look very good at the moment,

In which case you probably wouldn't exist!

Be grateful to your parents for bringing you into this troubled, yet endlessly fascinating world.

disagree with the bolded part

 

[Athlai]

If there was only some system that could look at cricket and rate it.

 

[srbhkshk]

disagree with the bolded part

Do you disagree with the "far" part of it, or the "better" one?

Atherton averaged a handy 37

This is my favourite stat when you put it alongside Shahid Afridi's Test batting average of 36.51

haha, was literally watching Afridi's 156 against India when I read this post.


It's weird that for 2 years in 05 and 06 he was an awesome test number 6, averaging over 40 for both years. Then he goes and retires from tests? Just to have a lazy hit and miss(mainly miss) limited overs career ever since. Kinda a waste

 

[cnerd123]

His retirement came right after he slogged himself out twice in a Test, and he said he felt he 'didn't have the temperament to be a Test cricketer'

It's hilarious because he was arguably a better Test cricketer than ODI one

Almost like Sehwag in this respect, when they have to go after only 80% of the deliveries instead of trying to go after 100% they are much better automatically. That's why I also think Maxwell would be a great prospect for Australia in tests.
