A hard reset for cricket analysis: assessment of the current game state, its inefficiencies, and a new method to identify competitive advantage
Theme: Personalised performance and team performance
Student type: Sebastian Woods
Host University: University of Technology Sydney
Sports research objectives/questions: What are the next generation of cricket statistics and how can career profiling inform nuanced squad management in the modern game.

- PROFILING: Explore these features relative to both team and individual performance, and variations of both (i.e. what does a good partnership look like). Is it possible to build profiles around team and individual performance?
- INCORPORATE TIME: Incorporate longitudinal and time-series components to profiling into predictive ability relative to performance (inclusive of career profiling, temporal characteristics relative to peaking in the career).
