Analysis of cricket statistics
Although the analysis of statistics has not been performed in a large-scale "data mining" manner, professional cricket coaches are beginning to use computer records of ball-by-ball play to obtain more detailed statistical analysis of player performances than was previously possible. Data mining is the process of Sorting through large amounts of data and picking out relevant information Coach (baseball|Coach (basketball|Coach (ice hockeyIn Sports a coach or manager is an individual involved in the direction instruction and training of the operations A computer is a Machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions.
Dynamic and graphical statistics
The advent of saturation television coverage of professional cricket has provided an impetus to develop new and interesting forms of presenting statistical data to viewers. Television ( TV) is a widely used Telecommunication medium for sending ( Broadcasting) and receiving moving Images, either monochromatic Television networks have thus invented several new ways of presenting statistics.
These include displaying two-dimensional and even three-dimensional plots of shot directions and distances on an overhead view of a cricket field, commonly referred to as a Wagon-Wheel[6]. Other forms include graphs of run scoring and wicket taking numbers plotted against time or balls bowled over a career or within a match. These graphics can be changed dynamically through a computer controlled back-end, as statistics evolve during a game. Commonly used graphics, especially during a limited-over match, are a worm graph[7], called so, for the worm-like appearance of the teams' score progression as the overs progress; and; a Manhattan Chart[8], called so, for its resemblance to the Manhattan skyline. Manhattan Island, in New York Harbor, is much the largest part of the Borough of Manhattan, one of the Five Boroughs which form the City of New York
