Introduction
In this post (The making of cricket package yorkr-Part 2), I continue to add new functionality to my package cricket package yorkr in R. In my earlier post The making of cricket package yorkr-Part 1 I had included functionality that will plot batsman partnerships, bowlers performances with wicket-kind, wicket-runs in specified ODI match. The earlier post also included functions that were based on confrontations between any 2 teams ( I had chosen the ODI matches between India and Australia).
This post includes all ODI matches between a country and others. For obvious reasons I have chosen India and selected all ODI matches played by India with other countries. As mentioned in my earlier post the data is taken from Cricsheet. There are a total of 230 ODI matches that India has played. These 230 ODI matches played by India are then combined into one large dataframe that is 140,655 rows x 22 columns.
The analysis is then done on India’s batting and bowling performances on this huge dataframe for e.g. who has the most scores and highest batting partnerships, which bowlers are most effective against a country. Also the functions give details like which Indian bowlers have the worst performance or which bowlers have taken the most wicket against India. The functions also provide information on batsmen and bowlers of the opposing countries who have performed welll against India. Since the dataset is large and rich, the possible insights are infinite.I am including some functions that I have created on this dataset below.
Also note that it is possible to choose all ODI matches played by Australia, Pakistan, South Africa etc with the rest of the world. Similar analysis can be done for these countries also by using the functions below
As before the package ‘yorkr’ is still under development. I will be …read more
