    Farewell - Retiring cricrate

    It's been a good 3+ years since I introduced cricrate and it has gone through a lot of iterations partly with suggestions from everyone here. I've done much more than I planned to do, and it has given me a lot of insight into the game, improved my statistical and coding skills and even inspired...

    Introducing cricrate Blog: In-depth and detailed articles

    I've realized that a lot of the stuff I've done on cricrate lacks good detail and context, so I decided I should start a blog. For starters I'm adding 2 articles - one of match odds and another on fielding statistics. Two more are on the way. I've also added the ability to add facebook...

    cricrate: Revamped Team ratings

    I had barely paid attention to the team ratings in the site before, but since it affects player ratings and cricodds I decided to revisit it. Two big changes: - Account for home/away matches: higher credit for winning away (lower penalty for losing), higher penalty for losing at home (lower...

    Tillakaratne Dilshan to retire from ODIs and T20Is | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo Great career. Underrated especially in limited form. Top 5 SL ODI batsman.

    Can Ashwin beat Murali's 800?

    183 wickets in 33 tests at 29 years old. If he plays till he's 39 (not that crazy to think as a spinner), and plays 10 tests a year on average (probably a low estimate), he will get 555 more wickets at the current wkts/match rate. That gets him to 738. That's ignoring that he is entering his...

    Introducing cricinsight: Visualize custom statistics

    After the site overhaul the natural next step was to come up with a custom query tool that has access to all the data behind the ratings. The result was cricinsight, an easy way to visualize custom statistics in a one-page view for better interactivity and usability. Think of it as a more...

    ODI and T20 Rule Changes

    I'm looking to get specific dates when limited-over rule changes like powerplays and fielding restriction changes happened. Can anyone direct me to a source or give a tentative month/year? For a project I'm working on right now, trying to iron out some quirks. Much appreciated.

    Who is Sri Lanka's best ever cricketer?

    Saw this poll on cricinfo among the Sanga retirement articles and was surprised that Sanga was voted over Murali.. Sangakkara voted as Sri Lanka's best | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo Probably for sentimental reasons, but thought of doing another poll here to see what people think. I think it's a...

    Sanga retiring, where does he place?

    Curious to hear what people have to say on his place among the greats. I thought he had a genuine chance of retiring as the clear #2 after Bradman had he stuck around for a 1-2 more years and pushed his average close to 60, but since he's signing off now I rate him at the same level as Tendulkar...

    Win Shares: Finding Clutch Performers

    I'm thinking of implementing a win shares measure in cricket - not necessarily similar to the one in basketball even though the I'm borrowing the name. I can already compute odds for each team after each over based on historical matches - this is used for live odds based on current match...

    Fielding Statistics: A New Approach

    Fielding statistics in cricket are borderline useless when trying to rate the quality of a fielder currently. Catches/match are heavily influenced by the quality of the bowlers involved (and how many opportunities they create) and fielding position. Even assuming that wasn't an issue, taking a...

    How good is Ryan Harris?

    He has incredible stats for a 35 years old... Was he just a late bloomer? Is he going to be another Stuart Clark? Do the numbers just flatter now because of just 26 tests of good form (like it seems to have with Philander to a certain extent)? Why aren't other fast bowlers doing this well at...

    Is George Lohmann underrated?

    Pre-1900 players are usually ignored since they bowled in sticky/uncovered pitches, but Lohmann's numbers are significantly better than any of his contemporaries: Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo His average of 10.75 is 53% better than Charlie Turner's 16.53...
