Introduction

This is a post I have been wanting to write for several months, but had to put it off for one reason or another. In this post I use my R package cricketr to analyze the performance of All-rounder greats namely Kapil Dev, Ian Botham, Imran Khan and Richard Hadlee. All these players had talent that was natural and raw. They were good strikers of the ball and extremely lethal with their bowling. The ODI data for these players have been taken from ESPN Cricinfo.

Please be mindful of the ESPN Cricinfo Terms of Use

You can also read this post at Rpubs as cricketr-AR. Dowload this report as a PDF file from cricketr-AR

All Rounders

  1. Kapil Dev (Ind)
  2. Ian Botham (Eng)
  3. Imran Khan (Pak)
  4. Richard Hadlee (NZ)

I have sprinkled the plots with a few of my comments. Feel free to draw your conclusions! The analysis is included below

if (!require("cricketr")){ 
    install.packages("cricketr",) 
} 

library(cricketr)

The data for any particular ODI player can be obtained with the getPlayerDataOD() function. To do you will need to go to ESPN CricInfo Playerand type in the name of the player for e.g Kapil Dev, etc. This will bring up a page which have the profile number for the player e.g. for Kapil Dev this would be http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/30028.html. Hence, Kapils’s profile is 30028. This can be used to get the data for Kapil Dev’s data as shown below. I have already executed the below 4 commands and I will use the files to run further commands

#kapil1 <- getPlayerDataOD(30028,dir="..",file="kapil1.csv",type="batting")
#botham11 <- getPlayerDataOD(9163,dir="..",file="botham1.csv",type="batting")
#imran1 <- getPlayerDataOD(40560,dir="..",file="imran1.csv",type="batting")
#hadlee1 <- getPlayerDataOD(37224,dir="..",file="hadlee1.csv",type="batting")

Analyses of batting performances of the All Rounders

The following plots gives the analysis of the 4 ODI batsmen

  1. Kapil Dev (Ind) – Innings – 225, Runs = 3783, Average=23.79, Strike Rate= 95.07
  2. Ian Botham (Eng) – Innings – 116, Runs= 2113, Average=23.21, Strike Rate= 79.10
  3. Imran Khan (Pak) – Innings – 175, Runs= 3709, Average=33.41, Strike Rate= 72.65
  4. Richard Hadlee (NZ) – Innings – 115, Runs= 1751, Average=21.61, Strike Rate= 75.50

Plot of 4s, 6s and the scoring rate in ODIs

The 3 charts below give the number of

  1. 4s vs Runs scored
  2. 6s vs Runs scored
  3. Balls faced vs Runs scored

A regression line is fitted in each of these plots for each of the ODI batsmen

A. Kapil Dev
It can be seen that Kapil scores four 4’s when he scores 50. Also after facing 50 deliveries he scores around 43

Cumulative Average runs of batsman in career

Kapils cumulative avrerage runs drops towards the last 15 innings wheres Botham had a good run towards the end of his career. Imran performance as a batsman really peaks towards the end with a cumulative average of almost 25 runs. Hadlee has a stead performance

Cumulative Average strike rate of batsman in career

Kapil’s strike rate is superlative touching the 90’s steadily. Botham’s strike drops dramatically towards the latter part of his career. Imran average at a steady 75 and Hadlee averages around 85.

Relative Mean Strike Rate

Kapil tops the strike rate among all the all-rounders. This is really a revelation to me. This can also be seen in the original data in Kapil’s strike rate is at a whopping 95.07 in comparison to Botham, Inran and Hadlee who are at 79.1,72.65 and 75.50 respectively

Predicting Runs given Balls Faced and Minutes at Crease

A multi-variate regression plane is fitted between Runs and Balls faced +Minutes at crease.

BF <- seq( 10, 200,length=10)
Mins <- seq(30,220,length=10)
newDF <- data.frame(BF,Mins)

kapil <- batsmanRunsPredict("./kapil1.csv","Kapil",newdataframe=newDF)
botham <- batsmanRunsPredict("./botham1.csv","Botham",newdataframe=newDF)
imran <- batsmanRunsPredict("./imran1.csv","Imran",newdataframe=newDF)
hadlee <- batsmanRunsPredict("./hadlee1.csv","Hadlee",newdataframe=newDF)

The fitted model is then used to predict the runs that the batsmen will score for a hypotheticial Balls faced and Minutes at crease. It can be seen that Kapil is the best bet for a balls faced and minutes at crease followed by Botham.

Analyses of bowling performances of the All Rounders

The following plots gives the analysis of the 4 ODI batsmen

  1. Kapil Dev (Ind) – Innings – 225, Wickets = 253, Average=27.45, Economy Rate= 3.71
  2. Ian Botham (Eng) – Innings – 116, Wickets = 145, Average=28.54, Economy Rate= 3.96
  3. Imran Khan (Pak) – Innings – 175, Wickets = 182, Average=26.61, Economy Rate= 3.89
  4. Richard Hadlee (NZ) – Innings – 115, Wickets = 158, Average=21.56, Economy Rate= 3.30

Botham has the highest number of innings and wickets followed closely by Mitchell. Imran and Hadlee have relatively fewer innings.

To get the bowler’s data use
