Abstract
Striking performance ball-wise for players with different levels of exposure to a particular format was evaluated. Regardless of the level of exposure batters tend to adopt either a highly aggressive or mix of highly aggressive or defensive batting styles in Twenty-Twenty (T20) innings. In one day international (ODI) innings the scale of aggressiveness was observed to be much lower compared to T20. Some ball-wise strike rate curves stabilized after a certain number of balls. This characteristic was evident in almost all curves related to Test cricket. Phases of an inning, a batter is most comfortable in adopting aggressive batting style or phases the batter is more prone to adopt a defensive style were identified. The phase in which a batter’s ball-wise strike rate of a particular format tends to stabilize (getting their eye-in) was also identified.
Classification of players was conducted considering the defensive/aggressive batting style of the batter. The approach can be utilized for efficient selection and positioning of batters in different formats of cricket as appropriate which will increase the winning chances and consequently enhance the economic benefit to all parties involved: the player, the coach and the manager.
