Step By Step Premier League: Notes from the playing field

Day 2 : 19th August, 2012

Steppie Blasters v/s Singham Boys, 19th August, 2012 - Juniors


The start of the tournament was very exciting and to top the excitement, we won. When the opposite side won the toss, they elected to bat.Then we gave so many extra runs, which made  us a little worried. They put up a score of 137 and it had us on the back foot and the pressure was on me when I went in to open from my side.

But when they started to bowl equally badly and gave as many extra’s we had our win in sight very easily. The opening partnership was very good and our scores of 17 (Krish Sharma) and 16 (Abhinav Jain) made it all the more easy.

And Krish Golchcha wrapped up the match with a boundary and the victory was ours to cherish.

This has given our team the desired boost and we hope to win more matches.

The Step By Step Premier League started with a bang as the Roaring Rangers shook the ground with their double victory.
When I first heard of it I found it very interesting and thought it was a great platform for kids to show their cricket talent and a very good chance for the players to improve themselves.
There was everything that a cricket fan held dear, there was entertainment, nervousness, excitement as the match drew to its end there was chant in the air and the blazing sun seemed no longer to bother anyone. All in all it was a great day, hats off to the management who thought of this wonderful idea.
Way to go SBS Premier League and wishing good luck to all the teams!
Thanks

Data in Sports.

Introduction to Data in Sports Sport in today’s world has extended beyond just the playing field. What was earlier two teams entering the field with textbook strategies, has today boomed into a platform with detailed analysis and pin-pointing to every detail. An athlete or a team’s data can show us where their strengths and weaknesses lie. It tells us a player’s performance probability based on past results: How many runs has Virat Kohli scored in the death overs of knockout games? How many penalties has Neymar missed during Champions League Games? …and so on Studying data helps teams prepare for the unexpected. Any change that the opposition makes before or during the game can be instantly studied by a team of analysts to see how it will impact the rest of the game. For example: in an ODI game between India and Australia at Adelaide, the team batting order shows that Tendulkar was moved from #3 to #5. Australia can then look at data to understand Tendulkar

Mithali Raj, admire her

Admire Her - Mithali Raj Traditionally, cricket is regarded as a gentlemen’s game however there have been some massive developments in the game recently. Women’s cricket has been a hot topic of discussion today. People still think that women cannot play cricket but why not give them a chance to play such a beautiful sport. In India, women’s cricket is not promoted at all. People don’t watch it at all and even cricket lovers hardly know any names of players who represent the Indian Women’s cricket team. Today I am going to talk about a player who fought against all such odds and is one of the finest woman’s cricketers India has produced. She is an inspiration to all young female cricketers who aspire to play for their country. She is Mithali Raj. Early Life She was a sleepy girl in her childhood. Her father wanted to develop in her the habit to get up early, so he dragged her along to her brother's cricket coaching

It is important to build the ‘Trust factor’ in Cricket

Recently there was an another verdict on spot fixing which again left its fans wondering, “ Cricket – A Gentleman’s game anymore ?” We hear often about how teamwork, getting ahead of the competition and winning apply both to high performing business units and sports teams. Often under-analysed, yet frequently dominating our headlines is how both sports and business are too often plagued by scandals. Two recent glaring examples are the high profile IPL fixing episode and involvement of few Pakistan players in spot fixing that outlined how all this hurting a normal cricket fan who devotes so much of his time and money only to see his favourite team winning or favourite player performing. These stories affect public faith in the sport and raise questions. After all the credibility of the sport is vital for the relationship to blossom. Should I buy the ticket of a match which result is already decided? Are professional athletes really competing and thus deserve their fan’s passio
