Updated:Analyzing performance of cricketers and cricket teams with cricketr templates

Note: I have included the latest set of functions that perform granular analysis of batsmen and bowlers to the cricketr template below! You can download this RMarkdown file from Github at cricketr-template 

This post includes a template which you can use for analyzing the performances of cricketers, both batsmen and bowlers in Test, ODI and Twenty 20 cricket. Additionally this template can also be used for analyzing performancs of teams in Test, ODI and T20 matches using my R package cricketr. To see actual usage of functions related to players in the R package cricketr see Introducing cricketr! : An R package to analyze performances of cricketers and associated posts on cricket in Index of posts. For the analyses on team performances see https://gigadom.in/2019/06/21/cricpy-adds-team-analytics-to-its-repertoire/

The ‘cricketr’ package uses the statistics info available in ESPN Cricinfo Statsguru. The current version of this package supports all formats of the game including Test, ODI and Twenty20 versions.

You should be able to install the package from GitHub and use the many functions available in the package. Please mindful of the ESPN Cricinfo Terms of Use

Take a look at my short video tutorial on my R package cricketr on Youtube – R package cricketr – A short tutorial

Do check out my interactive Shiny app implementation using the cricketr package – Sixer – R package cricketr’s new Shiny avatar

The cricketr package

The cricketr package has several functions that perform several different analyses on both batsman and bowlers. The package can also analyze performances of teams The package has function that plot percentage frequency runs or wickets, runs likelihood for a batsman, relative run/strike rates of batsman and relative performance/economy rate for bowlers are available. Other interesting functions include batting performance moving average, forecast and a function to check whether the batsmans in in-form or out-of-form.

In addition performances of teams against different oppositions at different venues can be computed and plotted. The timeline of wins & losses can be plotted.

A. Performances of batsmen and bowlers

The data for a particular player can be obtained with the getPlayerData() function. To do you will need to go to ESPN CricInfo Player and type in the name of the player for e.g Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar etc. This will bring up a page which have the profile number for the player e.g. for Sachin Tendulkar this would be http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/35320.html. Hence, Sachin’s profile is 35320. This can be used to get the data for Tendulkar as shown below

The cricketr package is now available from CRAN!!! You should be able to install directly with

1. Install the cricketr package

if (!require("cricketr")){
    install.packages("cricketr",lib = "c:/test")
}
library(cricketr)

The cricketr package includes some pre-packaged sample (.csv) files. You can use these sample to test functions as shown below

# Retrieve the file path of a data file installed with cricketr
#pathToFile <- system.file("data", "tendulkar.csv", package = "cricketr")
#batsman4s(pathToFile, "Sachin Tendulkar")

# The general format is pkg-function(pathToFile,par1,...)
#batsman4s(<path-To-File>,"Sachin Tendulkar")

“` The pre-packaged files can be accessed as shown above. To get the data of any player use the function in Test, ODI and Twenty20 use the following

2. For Test cricket

#tendulkar <- getPlayerData(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkar.csv",type="batting",homeOrAway=c(1,2), result=c(1,2,4))

2a. For ODI cricket

#tendulkarOD <- getPlayerDataOD(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkarOD.csv",type="batting")

2b For Twenty 20 cricket

#tendulkarT20 <- getPlayerDataTT(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkarT20.csv",type="batting")

Important Note 1 This needs to be done only once for a player. This function stores the player’s data in a CSV file (for e.g. tendulkar.csv as above) which can then be reused for all other functions. Once we have the data for the players many analyses can be done. This post will use the stored CSV file obtained with a prior getPlayerData for all subsequent analyses

Important Note 2 The same set of functions can be used for Tests, ODI and T20s. I have mentioned wherever you may need special functions for ODI and T20 below

Sachin Tendulkar’s performance – Basic Analyses

The 3 plots below provide the following for Tendulkar

14. Future Runs forecast

Here are plots that forecast how the batsman will perform in future. In this case 90% of the career runs trend is uses as the training set. the remaining 10% is the test set.

A Holt-Winters forecating model is used to forecast future performance based on the 90% training set. The forecated runs trend is plotted. The test set is also plotted to see how close the forecast and the actual matches

Take a look at the runs forecasted for the batsman below.

names <- list("Player1","Player2","Player3","Player4")
#relativeBatsmanSR(frames,names)

16. Relative Runs Frequency plot

The plot below gives the relative Runs Frequency Percetages for each 10 run bucket. The plot below show

frames <- list("./player1.csv","./player2.csv","player3.csv","player4.csv")
names <- list("Player1","Player2","Player3","player4")
#relativeBatsmanCumulativeStrikeRate(frames,names)

19. Check Batsman In-Form or Out-of-Form

The below computation uses Null Hypothesis testing and p-value to determine if the batsman is in-form or out-of-form. For this 90% of the career runs is chosen as the population and the mean computed. The last 10% is chosen to be the sample set and the sample Mean and the sample Standard Deviation are caculated.

The Null Hypothesis (H0) assumes that the batsman continues to stay in-form where the sample mean is within 95% confidence interval of population mean The Alternative (Ha) assumes that the batsman is out of form the sample mean is beyond the 95% confidence interval of the population mean.

A significance value of 0.05 is chosen and p-value us computed If p-value >= .05 – Batsman In-Form If p-value < 0.05 – Batsman Out-of-Form

Note Ideally the p-value should be done for a population that follows the Normal Distribution. But the runs population is usually left skewed. So some correction may be needed. I will revisit this later

This is done for the Top 4 batsman

#checkBatsmanInForm("./player1.csv","Player1")
#checkBatsmanInForm("./player2.csv","Player2")
#checkBatsmanInForm("./player3.csv","Player3")
#checkBatsmanInForm("./player4.csv","Player4")

35 Check for bowler in-form/out-of-form

The below computation uses Null Hypothesis testing and p-value to determine if the bowler is in-form or out-of-form. For this 90% of the career wickets is chosen as the population and the mean computed. The last 10% is chosen to be the sample set and the sample Mean and the sample Standard Deviation are caculated.

The Null Hypothesis (H0) assumes that the bowler continues to stay in-form where the sample mean is within 95% confidence interval of population mean The Alternative (Ha) assumes that the bowler is out of form the sample mean is beyond the 95% confidence interval of the population mean.

A significance value of 0.05 is chosen and p-value us computed If p-value >= .05 – Batsman In-Form If p-value < 0.05 – Batsman Out-of-Form

Note Ideally the p-value should be done for a population that follows the Normal Distribution. But the runs population is usually left skewed. So some correction may be needed. I will revisit this later

36. Performing granular analysis of batsmen and bowlers

To perform granular analysis of batsmen and bowlers do the following 2 steps

  1. Step 1: getPlayerDataHA – This function is a wrapper around getPlayerData(), getPlayerDataOD() and getPlayerDataTT(), and adds an extra column ‘homeOrAway’ which says whether the match was played at home/away/neutral venues. A CSV file is created with this new column.
  2. Step2:getPlayerDataOppnHA – This function allows you to slice & dice the data for batsmen and bowlers against specific oppositions, at home/away/neutral venues and between certain periods. This reduced subset of data can be used to perform analyses. A CSV file is created as an output based on the parameters of opposition, home or away and the interval of time

See Cricketr learns new tricks : Performs fine-grained analysis of players

Have fun with cricketr!!

Cricketr learns new tricks : Performs fine-grained analysis of players

“He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”

“The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

“We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!”

“For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.”

“The Answer to the Great Question… Of Life, the Universe and Everything… Is… Forty-two,’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.”

                 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

Introduction

In this post, I introduce 2 new functions in my R package ‘cricketr’ (cricketr v0.22) see Re-introducing cricketr! : An R package to analyze performances of cricketers which enable granular analysis of batsmen and bowlers. They are

  1. Step 1: getPlayerDataHA – This function is a wrapper around getPlayerData(), getPlayerDataOD() and getPlayerDataTT(), and adds an extra column ‘homeOrAway’ which says whether the match was played at home/away/neutral venues. A CSV file is created with this new column.
  2. Setp 2: getPlayerDataOppnHA – This function allows you to slice & dice the data for batsmen and bowlers against specific oppositions, at home/away/neutral venues and between certain periods. This reduced subset of data can be used to perform analyses. A CSV file is created as an output based on the parameters of opposition, home or away and the interval of time

Note All the existing cricketr functions can be used on this smaller fine-grained data set for a closer analysis of players

Note 1: You have to call the above functions only once. You can reuse the CSV files in other functions

Important note: Don’t go too fine-grained by choosing just one opposition, in one of home/away/neutral and for too short a period. Too small a dataset may defeat the purpose of the analysis!

If you are passionate about cricket, and love analyzing cricket performances, then check out my racy book on cricket ‘Cricket analytics with cricketr and cricpy – Analytics harmony with R & Python’! This book discusses and shows how to use my R package ‘cricketr’ and my Python package ‘cricpy’ to analyze batsmen and bowlers in all formats of the game (Test, ODI and T20). The paperback is available on Amazon at $21.99 and  the kindle version at $9.99/Rs 449/-. A must read for any cricket lover! Check it out!!

8a. Compare the relative performances of Shakib, Bumrah and Jadeja


    

  • Jadeja and Bumrah have comparable economy rates. Shakib is more expensive
    • 

  • Shakib pips Bumrah in number of cumulative wickets, though Bumrah is close behind
    • 



frames=list("shakibT20-SLAusSAEng.csv","bumrahT20-SLAusSAEng.csv","jadejaT20-SLAusSAEng.csv")
names=list("Shakib-SLAusSAEng","Bumrah-SLAusSAEng","Jadeja-SLAusSAEng")
relativeBowlerCumulativeAvgEconRate(frames,names)




relativeBowlerCumulativeAvgWickets(frames,names)








Conclusion


By getting the homeOrAway data for players using the profileNo, you can slice and dice the data based on your choice of opposition, whether you want matches that were played at home/away/neutral venues. Finally by specifying the period for which the data has to be subsetted you can create fine grained analysis.


Hope you have a great time with cricketr!!!

Analyzing cricketers’ and cricket team’s performances with cricketr template
		
	
	

		
This post includes a template which you can use for analyzing the performances of cricketers, both batsmen and bowlers in Test, ODI and Twenty 20 cricket. Additionally this template can also be used for analyzing performances of teams in Test, ODI and T20 matches using my R package cricketr. To see actual usage of functions related to players in the R package cricketr see Introducing cricketr! : An R package to analyze performances of cricketers and associated posts on cricket in Index of posts. For the analyses on team performances see https://gigadom.in/2019/06/21/cricpy-adds-team-analytics-to-its-repertoire/


The ‘cricketr’ package uses the statistics info available in ESPN Cricinfo Statsguru. The current version of this package supports all formats of the game including Test, ODI and Twenty20 versions.


You should be able to install the package from GitHub and use the many functions available in the package. Please mindful of the ESPN Cricinfo Terms of Use


Take a look at my short video tutorial on my R package cricketr on Youtube – R package cricketr – A short tutorial


Do check out my interactive Shiny app implementation using the cricketr package – Sixer – R package cricketr’s new Shiny avatar


You can download this RMarkdown file from Github at cricketr-template




The cricketr package


The cricketr package has several functions that perform several different analyses on both batsman and bowlers. The package can also analyze performances of teams The package has function that plot percentage frequency runs or wickets, runs likelihood for a batsman, relative run/strike rates of batsman and relative performance/economy rate for bowlers are available. Other interesting functions include batting performance moving average, forecast and a function to check whether the batsmans in in-form or out-of-form.


In addition performances of teams against different oppositions at different venues can be computed and plotted. The timeline of wins & losses can be plotted.




A. Performances of batsmen and bowlers


The data for a particular player can be obtained with the getPlayerData() function. To do you will need to go to ESPN CricInfo Player and type in the name of the player for e.g Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar etc. This will bring up a page which have the profile number for the player e.g. for Sachin Tendulkar this would be http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/35320.html. Hence, Sachin’s profile is 35320. This can be used to get the data for Tendulkar as shown below


The cricketr package is now available from CRAN!!! You should be able to install as below




1. Install the cricketr package


if (!require("cricketr")){
    install.packages("cricketr",lib = "c:/test")
}
library(cricketr)

The cricketr package includes some pre-packaged sample (.csv) files. You can use these sample to test functions as shown below


# Retrieve the file path of a data file installed with cricketr
#pathToFile <- system.file("data", "tendulkar.csv", package = "cricketr")
#batsman4s(pathToFile, "Sachin Tendulkar")

# The general format is pkg-function(pathToFile,par1,...)
#batsman4s(<path-To-File>,"Sachin Tendulkar")


The pre-packaged files can be accessed as shown above. To get the data of any player use the function in Test, ODI and Twenty20 use the following






2. For Test cricket


#tendulkar <- getPlayerData(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkar.csv",type="batting",homeOrAway=c(1,2), result=c(1,2,4))






2a. For ODI cricket


#tendulkarOD <- getPlayerDataOD(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkarOD.csv",type="batting")






2b For Twenty 20 cricket


#tendulkarT20 <- getPlayerDataTT(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkarT20.csv",type="batting")


Important Note 1: This needs to be done only once for a player. This function stores the player’s data in a CSV file (for e.g. tendulkar.csv as above) which can then be reused for all other functions. Once we have the data for the players many analyses can be done. This post will use the stored CSV file obtained with a prior getPlayerData for all subsequent analyses


Important Note 2: The same set of functions can be used for Tests, ODI and T20s. I have mentioned wherever you may need special functions for ODI and T20 below

14. Future Runs forecast


Here are plots that forecast how the batsman will perform in future. In this case 90% of the career runs trend is uses as the training set. the remaining 10% is the test set.


A Holt-Winters forecating model is used to forecast future performance based on the 90% training set. The forecated runs trend is plotted. The test set is also plotted to see how close the forecast and the actual matches


Take a look at the runs forecasted for the batsman below.

19. Check Batsman In-Form or Out-of-Form


The below computation uses Null Hypothesis testing and p-value to determine if the batsman is in-form or out-of-form. For this 90% of the career runs is chosen as the population and the mean computed. The last 10% is chosen to be the sample set and the sample Mean and the sample Standard Deviation are caculated.


The Null Hypothesis (H0) assumes that the batsman continues to stay in-form where the sample mean is within 95% confidence interval of population mean The Alternative (Ha) assumes that the batsman is out of form the sample mean is beyond the 95% confidence interval of the population mean.


A significance value of 0.05 is chosen and p-value us computed If p-value >= .05 – Batsman In-Form If p-value < 0.05 – Batsman Out-of-Form


Note Ideally the p-value should be done for a population that follows the Normal Distribution. But the runs population is usually left skewed. So some correction may be needed. I will revisit this later


This is done for the Top 4 batsman


#checkBatsmanInForm("./player1.csv","Player1")

36. Performing granular analysis of batsmen and bowlers


To perform granular analysis of batsmen and bowlers do the following 2 steps


    

  1. Step 1: getPlayerDataHA – This function is a wrapper around getPlayerData(), getPlayerDataOD() and getPlayerDataTT(), and adds an extra column ‘homeOrAway’ which says whether the match was played at home/away/neutral venues. A CSV file is created with this new column.
    2. 

  2. Step2:getPlayerDataOppnHA – This function allows you to slice & dice the data for batsmen and bowlers against specific oppositions, at home/away/neutral venues and between certain periods. This reduced subset of data can be used to perform analyses. A CSV file is created as an output based on the parameters of opposition, home or away and the interval of time

Analyzing performances of cricketers using cricketr template
		
	
	

		
This post includes a template which you can use for analyzing the performances of cricketers, both batsmen and bowlers in Test, ODI and Twenty 20 cricket using my R package cricketr. To see actual usage of functions in the R package cricketr see Introducing cricketr! : An R package to analyze performances of cricketers.


This template can be downloaded from Github at cricketer-template


The ‘cricketr’ package uses the statistics info available in ESPN Cricinfo Statsguru. The current version of this package supports all formats of the game including Test, ODI and Twenty20 versions.


You should be able to install the package from GitHub and use the many functions available in the package. Please mindful of the ESPN Cricinfo Terms of Use


Take a look at my short video tutorial on my R package cricketr on Youtube – R package cricketr – A short tutorial


Do check out my interactive Shiny app implementation using the cricketr package – Sixer – R package cricketr’s new Shiny avatar


Important note 1: The latest release of ‘cricketr’ now includes the ability to analyze performances of teams now!!  See Cricketr adds team analytics to its repertoire!!!


Important note 2 : Cricketr can now do a more fine-grained analysis of players, see Cricketr learns new tricks : Performs fine-grained analysis of players


Important note 3: Do check out the python avatar of cricketr, ‘cricpy’ in my post ‘Introducing cricpy:A python package to analyze performances of cricketers”




The cricketr package


The cricketr package has several functions that perform several different analyses on both batsman and bowlers. The package has function that plot percentage frequency runs or wickets, runs likelihood for a batsman, relative run/strike rates of batsman and relative performance/economy rate for bowlers are available.


Other interesting functions include batting performance moving average, forecast and a function to check whether the batsmans in in-form or out-of-form.


The data for a particular player can be obtained with the getPlayerData() function. To do you will need to go to ESPN CricInfo Player and type in the name of the player for e.g Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar etc. This will bring up a page which have the profile number for the player e.g. for Sachin Tendulkar this would be http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/35320.html. Hence, Sachin’s profile is 35320. This can be used to get the data for Tendulkar as shown below


The cricketr package is now available from CRAN!!! You should be able to install directly with




1. Install the cricketr package


if (!require("cricketr")){
    install.packages("cricketr",lib = "c:/test")
}
library(cricketr)


The cricketr package includes some pre-packaged sample (.csv) files. You can use these sample to test functions as shown below


# Retrieve the file path of a data file installed with cricketr
#pathToFile <- system.file("data", "tendulkar.csv", package = "cricketr")
#batsman4s(pathToFile, "Sachin Tendulkar")

# The general format is pkg-function(pathToFile,par1,...)
#batsman4s(<path-To-File>,"Sachin Tendulkar")


“` The pre-packaged files can be accessed as shown above. To get the data of any player use the function in Test, ODI and Twenty20 use the following






2. For Test cricket


#tendulkar <- getPlayerData(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkar.csv",type="batting",homeOrAway=c(1,2), result=c(1,2,4))






2a. For ODI cricket


#tendulkarOD <- getPlayerDataOD(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkarOD.csv",type="batting")






2b For Twenty 20 cricket


#tendulkarT20 <- getPlayerDataTT(35320,dir="..",file="tendulkarT20.csv",type="batting")






Analysis of batsmen


Important Note This needs to be done only once for a player. This function stores the player’s data in a CSV file (for e.g. tendulkar.csv as above) which can then be reused for all other functions. Once we have the data for the players many analyses can be done. This post will use the stored CSV file obtained with a prior getPlayerData for all subsequent analyses






Sachin Tendulkar’s performance – Basic Analyses


The 3 plots below provide the following for Tendulkar


    

  1. Frequency percentage of runs in each run range over the whole career
    2. 

  2. Mean Strike Rate for runs scored in the given range
    3. 

  3. A histogram of runs frequency percentages in runs ranges For example

14. Future Runs forecast


Here are plots that forecast how the batsman will perform in future. In this case 90% of the career runs trend is uses as the training set. the remaining 10% is the test set.


A Holt-Winters forecating model is used to forecast future performance based on the 90% training set. The forecated runs trend is plotted. The test set is also plotted to see how close the forecast and the actual matches


Take a look at the runs forecasted for the batsman below.


par(mfrow=c(2,2))
par(mar=c(4,4,2,2))
#batsmanPerfForecast("./player1.csv","Player1")
#batsmanPerfForecast("./player2.csv","Player2")

15. Relative Mean Strike Rate plot


The plot below compares the Mean Strike Rate of the batsman for each of the runs ranges of 10 and plots them. The plot indicate the following


frames <- list("./player1.csv","./player2.csv","player3.csv","player4.csv")
names <- list("Player1","Player2","Player3","Player4")
#relativeBatsmanSR(frames,names)






16. Relative Runs Frequency plot


The plot below gives the relative Runs Frequency Percetages for each 10 run bucket. The plot below show


frames <- list("./player1.csv","./player2.csv","player3.csv","player4.csv")
names <- list("Player1","Player2","Player3","Player4")
#relativeRunsFreqPerf(frames,names)






17. Relative cumulative average runs in career


frames <- list("./player1.csv","./player2.csv","player3.csv","player4.csv")
names <- list("Player1","Player2","Player3","Player4")
#relativeBatsmanCumulativeAvgRuns(frames,names)






18. Relative cumulative average strike rate in career


frames <- list("./player1.csv","./player2.csv","player3.csv","player4.csv")
names <- list("Player1","Player2","Player3","player4")
#relativeBatsmanCumulativeStrikeRate(frames,names)






19. Check Batsman In-Form or Out-of-Form


The below computation uses Null Hypothesis testing and p-value to determine if the batsman is in-form or out-of-form. For this 90% of the career runs is chosen as the population and the mean computed. The last 10% is chosen to be the sample set and the sample Mean and the sample Standard Deviation are caculated.


The Null Hypothesis (H0) assumes that the batsman continues to stay in-form where the sample mean is within 95% confidence interval of population mean The Alternative (Ha) assumes that the batsman is out of form the sample mean is beyond the 95% confidence interval of the population mean.


A significance value of 0.05 is chosen and p-value us computed If p-value >= .05 – Batsman In-Form If p-value < 0.05 – Batsman Out-of-Form


Note Ideally the p-value should be done for a population that follows the Normal Distribution. But the runs population is usually left skewed. So some correction may be needed. I will revisit this later


This is done for the Top 4 batsman


#checkBatsmanInForm("./player1.csv","Player1")
#checkBatsmanInForm("./player2.csv","Player2")
#checkBatsmanInForm("./player3.csv","Player3")
#checkBatsmanInForm("./player4.csv","Player4")

28. Future Wickets forecast


Here are plots that forecast how the bowler will perform in future. In this case 90% of the career wickets trend is used as the training set. the remaining 10% is the test set.


A Holt-Winters forecating model is used to forecast future performance based on the 90% training set. The forecated wickets trend is plotted. The test set is also plotted to see how close the forecast and the actual matches

frames <- list("./bowler1.csv","./bowler3.csv","bowler2.csv")
names <- list("Bowler1","Bowler3","Bowler2")
#relativeBowlerCumulativeAvgEconRate(frames,names)






35 Check for bowler in-form/out-of-form


The below computation uses Null Hypothesis testing and p-value to determine if the bowler is in-form or out-of-form. For this 90% of the career wickets is chosen as the population and the mean computed. The last 10% is chosen to be the sample set and the sample Mean and the sample Standard Deviation are caculated.


The Null Hypothesis (H0) assumes that the bowler continues to stay in-form where the sample mean is within 95% confidence interval of population mean The Alternative (Ha) assumes that the bowler is out of form the sample mean is beyond the 95% confidence interval of the population mean.


A significance value of 0.05 is chosen and p-value us computed If p-value >= .05 – Batsman In-Form If p-value < 0.05 – Batsman Out-of-Form


Note Ideally the p-value should be done for a population that follows the Normal Distribution. But the runs population is usually left skewed. So some correction may be needed. I will revisit this later


Note: The check for the form status of the bowlers indicate


#checkBowlerInForm("./bowler1.csv","Bowler1")
#checkBowlerInForm("./bowler2.csv","Bowler2")
#checkBowlerInForm("./bowler3.csv","Bowler3")

yorkpy takes a hat-trick, bowls out Intl. T20s, BBL and Natwest T20!!!
		
	
	

		
“Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ’Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”


             Alice's adventures  in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll




1. Introduction


In this post, yorkpy clean bowls the following T20 formats namely International T20s, Big Bash League and Natwest T20 Blast. I take yorkpy on a spin through these T20 leagues. In the post below,I choose a random set of about 10-12 of the overall 63 functions that yorkpy has, and execute them for each of the different T20 leagues – Intl T20s, BBL and Natwest T20s. yorkpy, is the python avatar of my R package yorkr, see Introducing cricket package yorkr: Part 1- Beaten by sheer pace!


There were a couple of new functions that needed to be added for each of the T20 leagues – Intl T20, BBL and Natwest T20 to take into account the different teams in each of these leagues. Further some bugs were also ironed out in tje latest version of yorkpy. yorkpy uses data from Cricsheet . The match data is in the form of YAML files. yorkpy converts these YAML files to dataframes. YAML files are very detailed and include a ball-by-ball account of the match.


– You can clone/fork the latest code for yorkpy from github yorkpy

– This post has also been published in RPubs at yorkpy takes a hat-trick

– You can download the PDF version of this post at yorkpy takes a hat-trick


The data for IPL, Intl. T20, BBL and Natwest T20 have already been converted into pandas dataframes and saved as CSVs. You can download the converted files from Github at [allYorkpyT20Data])(https://github.com/tvganesh/allYorkpyT20Data)


yorkpy has the following 4 main classes of functions




A.Functions analyzing individual T20 match (Class 1)


This was demonstrated in Pitching yorkpy . short of good length to IPL – Part 1 The functions deal with individual T20 matches. The functions are

D. Functions that analyze performances of T20 batsmen and bowlers (Class 4)


These set of functions analyze individual batsmen and bowlers and have been used in Pitching yorkpy . in the block hole – Part 4 The functions are


    

  1. getTeamBattingDetails()
    2. 

  2. getBatsmanDetails()
    3.

As I mentioned above I will be randomly choosing a set of 12 functions from Class 1,2,3,4 for each of the T20 leagues (Intl T20, BBL and NWB T20) for analysis








2. International T20s


The following functions were added for handling Intl. T20s


    

  1. saveAllMatchesBetween2IntlT20s()
    2. 

  2. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIntlT20()
    3. 



To handle the countries in Intl. T20s below


Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Bermuda, Canada, England,Hong Kong,India, Ireland, Kenya, Nepal, Netherlands, “New Zealand, Oman,Pakistan,Scotland,South Africa, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates,West Indies, Zimbabwe


import os
#os.chdir('C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\t20s')
#import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#1.  Convert all YAML files to dataframes and CSV
#yka.convertAllYaml2PandasDataframesT20(".", "..\\data1")
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches'
#2. Save all matches between 2 T20 teams
#yka.saveAllMatchesBetween2IntlT20s(dir1)
#3. Save all matches between a T20 team and all other teams
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches'
#yka.saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIntlT20(dir1)
#4. Get batting details

#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Afghanistan",dir=dir1, save=True)
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Australia",dir=dir1,save=True)
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Bangladesh",dir=dir1,save=True)
#...
#5. Get bowling details
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyT20\\IntlT20-Matches
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Afghanistan",dir=dir1, save=True)
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Australia",dir=dir1,save=True)
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Bangladesh",dir=dir1,save=True)
# ...


Once the data is converted you can use the yorkpy functions. The data has been converted for Intl T20 and is available at Github at IntlT20


To use the yorkpy functions for a new league we need to initial convert the YAML files into appropriate format for processing by yorkpy functions


This will create the necessary files which are are used in the functions below

4. Natwest T20 Blast


The following functions for added to handle Natwest T20 teams


    

  1. saveAllMatchesBetween2NWBTeams()
    2. 

  2. saveAllMatchesAllOppositionNWBT20
    3. 



The Natwest teams are

Derbyshire, Durham, Essex, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent,Lancashire, Leicestershire, Middlesex,Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Surrey, Sussex, Warwickshire, Worcestershire,Yorkshire


In order to perform analysis with yorkpy, the YAML data has to be converted to pandas dataframe and saves as CSV as shown


#import os
#import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#os.chdir('C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyNWB\\nwb')
#1. Convert YAML to dataframes and save as CSV
#yka.convertAllYaml2PandasDataframesT20(".", "..\\NWBT20-Matches")
#2. Save all matches between 2 NWBT20 teams
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyNWB\\NWBT20-Matches'
#yka.saveAllMatchesBetween2NWBTeams(dir1)
#3. Save all matches between a NWB T20 team and all other teams
#dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyNWB\\NWBT20-Matches'
#yka.saveAllMatchesAllOppositionNWBT20(dir1)
#4. Compute the batting details
dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyNWB\\NWBT20-Matches'
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Derbyshire",dir=dir1, save=True)
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Durham",dir=dir1,save=True)
#yka.getTeamBattingDetails("Essex",dir=dir1,save=True)
#..
#5. Compute bowling details
dir1='C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyNWB\\NWBT20-Matches'
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Derbyshire",dir=dir1, save=True)
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Durham",dir=dir1,save=True)
#yka.getTeamBowlingDetails("Essex",dir=dir1,save=True)
#...


Once the data is converted all yorkpy functions can be used. This has already been done and is available at github NWB

Note: yorkpy will work for all T20 leagues which are in YAML format as specified in Cricsheet.


You can clone/fork the latest code for yorkpy from github yorkpy


The data for IPL, Intl. T20, BBL and Natwest T20 have already been converted into pandas dataframes and saved as CSVs. You can download the converted files from Github at [allYorkpyT20Data])(https://github.com/tvganesh/allYorkpyT20Data)


Conclusion This post shows the kind of detailed analysis that can be performed with yorkpy. In fact with all the converted data it should be possible to also train a Machine Learning model, which I will probably keep for another day. You could go ahead and use the data in other innovative ways. Do keep me posted if you do!!


Important note: Do check out my other posts using yorkpy at yorkpy-posts


Have fun with yorkpy!!

Pitching yorkpy…swinging away from the leg stump to IPL – Part 3
		
	
	

		
Clocks offer at best a convenient fiction They imply that time ticks steadily, predictably forward, when our experience shows that it often does the opposite: it stretches and compresses, skips a beat and doubles back.

Introduction


In this 3rd post, yorkpy, the python avatar of my R package yorkr develops more muscle. The first two posts of yorkpy were


1. Pitching yorkpy . short of good length to IPL – Part 1 This post dealt with function which perform analytics on an IPL match between any 2 IPL teams

2. Pitching yorkpy…on the middle and outside off-stump to IPL – Part 2 The second post dealt with analytics on all matches between any 2 IPL teams.


This third post deals with analyses and analytics of an IPL team in all matches against all other IPL teams. The data for yorkpy comes from Cricsheet. The data in Cricsheet are in the form of yaml files. These files have already been converted as dataframes and stored as CSV as seen in the earlier posts.You can download all the data used in this post and the previous post at yorkpyData


The signatures of yorkpy and yorkr are identical and will work in almost the same way. However there may be some unique functions in yorkr & yorkpy, based on what my thought process was on that day!


-You can clone/download the code at Github yorkpy

-This post has been published to RPubs at yorkpy-Part3

-Download this post as PDF at IPLT20-yorkpy-part3

-You can download all the data used in this post and the previous post at yorkpyData


Note: If you would like to do a similar analysis for a different set of batsman and bowlers, you can clone/download my skeleton yorkpy-template from Github (which is the R Markdown file I have used for the analysis below).


The IPL T20 functions in yorkpy are shown below







2. Get data for all T20 matches between an IPL team and all other IPL teams


We can get all IPL T20 matches between an IPL team  and all other teams using the function below. The dir parameter should point to the folder which has the IPL T20 csv files of the individual matches (see Pitching yorkpy…short of good length to IPL-Part 1). This function creates a data frame of all the IPL T20 matches between the IPL team and all other teams and and also saves the dataframe as CSV file if save=True. If save=False the dataframe is just returned and not saved.


import pandas as pd
import os
import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#dir1= "C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyPkg\\yorkpyData\\IPLConverted"
#getAllMatchesAllOpposition("Kolkata Knight Riders",dir=dir1,save=True)






3. Save data for all matches between an IPL team and all oppositions


This can be done locally using the function below. You could use this function to get combine all IPL matches of an IPL team against all other IPL teams


import pandas as pd
import os
import yorkpy.analytics as yka
#dir1= "C:\\software\\cricket-package\\yorkpyPkg\\yorkpyData\\IPLConverted"
#saveAllMatchesAllOppositionIPLT20(dir1)
