Responding To Simon Doull - New Rules To Reduce Runs - And A Mailbag!
Three topics on this week's episode of Strike Rate: The Cricket Analytics Podcast. First up Dan Weston offers a response to Simon Doull, who this week claimed that all analysts who hadn't played the game were useless (paraphrasing slightly). Why is that wrong and why will that look even wronger in the near future?
Then we go through 8 ideas for rule changes to reduce run rates in T20 cricket. These include ideas around power plays, bowling limits, humidors, fielding restrictions and the impact sub. What would the impact on the game be?
Then in the second part we get to questions. These range from questions about the future of off-spin, through to how analytics works when we don't have perfect information.
