This release introduces the first dedicated Analysis capability in Cricket Tracker.
The new Analysis tab builds on the existing match, result and innings-summary data to provide a small set of reports designed for a fan following and recording a competition for themselves.
The initial release includes:
- Team Summary
- Batting First vs Chasing
- Head-to-Head
The reports support the limited-overs formats currently modelled by Cricket Tracker:
- The Hundred
- Twenty20
- One Day International
Team Summary
The Team Summary report provides an overview of one team’s performance within a selected competition and season.
It includes:
- Matches played
- Wins, losses, ties and no-results
- Win percentage
- Runs scored and conceded
- Average innings scores
- Average wickets lost and taken
- Highest and lowest innings totals
- Record when batting first
- Eecord when chasing
- Largest and narrowest wins and defeats
- A chronological match history
Results are shown from the selected team’s perspective, making it easier to review how the team has performed across the competition.
Batting First vs Chasing
The Batting First vs Chasing report adds the first analysis designed specifically around the structure of a cricket match.
It can be used at either competition or team level and includes:
- Wins by teams batting first
- Wins by teams chasing
- Batting-first and chasing win percentages
- Average first-innings score
- Highest first-innings score
- Highest successful chase
- Lowest successfully defended total
- Team-specific records when setting or chasing a target
- A supporting table of analysed matches
Batting order is derived from the recorded innings rather than inferred from the result, home and away status or toss decision.
Head-to-Head
The Head-to-Head report compares two teams within a selected competition and season.
It includes:
- Matches played
- Wins by each team
- Ties and no-results
- Win percentages
- Total and average runs scored
- Average wickets lost
- Highest and lowest innings
- Batting-first and chasing records
- Largest and narrowest wins
- Highest successful chase
- Lowest successfully defended total
- A complete history of meetings
This provides a compact view of both the overall record and the individual matches behind it.
Format-Aware Analysis
The reports use a shared limited-overs analysis model while respecting differences between formats.
Scoring rates are displayed as:
- Runs per 100 balls for The Hundred
- Runs per over for T20 and ODI cricket
Rates are calculated from the number of balls faced, avoiding the common mistake of treating cricket over notation as a decimal value.
The reports do not combine unlike formats into a single statistical sample.
Incomplete and No-Result Matches
Analysis is calculated only where the recorded data supports the metric being shown.
For example:
- A completed result may still contribute to a team’s win-loss record when detailed innings data is unavailable
- An innings without a recorded ball count may contribute to score analysis but not scoring-rate analysis
- No-results are recorded separately and excluded from calculations where a decisive outcome is required
- Matches with ambiguous innings order are excluded from batting-first and chasing comparisons
This allows Cricket Tracker to make useful use of partially complete historical records without presenting unsupported statistics.
Scope
The Analysis tab uses match-level and innings-summary data already stored by Cricket Tracker.
It does not require:
- Ball-by-ball data
- Full scorecards
- Player batting or bowling records
- Partnerships
- Boundary analysis
- Predictive modelling
The intention is to provide a focused set of useful reports rather than turn Cricket Tracker into a general-purpose cricket statistics platform.
Looking Ahead
Possible future additions include:
- Team Form
- Venue analysis
- Toss decision analysis
- Score distributions
- All-season Head-to-Head analysis
- PDF report export
- Test cricket analysis
These will be considered separately once the initial reports have been used with a broader set of real competition data.
