By Anonymous
Analysis of Fan Decisions : Playcall is a Fantain game where the Fans take decisions like the captain.  The decisions are taken and locked in before the actual decision is taken in the field of play.  We had a great game of Playcall when SunRisers Hyderabad took on Mumbai Indians on Monday.  Here are some great insights based on fan decisions.  Hyderabad lost the match – so let us look at some decisions Shikhar Dhawan took and compare it with fan decisions.

Analysis
Team Selection
Unchanged side

Unchanged side was the popular choice.  But playing Sammy was a decision definitely worth considering.
The crucial foreign allrounder slot
Moises Henriques

Henriques was the popular choice here.
Who should bat 1 down
KL Rahul
·       43% wanted Warner at 1-down
·       38% wanted KL Rahul at 1-down
Sending Warner up the order would have been a great choice
5th over of SRH bowling
Irfan Pathan

This over changed momentum for the match.  But an overwhelming majority decided exactly what Shikar decided
Foreign Player popularity

·       David Warner – 23%
·       Aaron Finch – 12%
·       Darren Sammy – 2%

All things considered, Finch and Dhawan seem to be the right opening pair
Turning Point

·       At end of 1st Innings – 83% felt Hyderabad were ahead at that time
·       At end of 5 overs of 2nd Innings – 62% felt Hyderabad were ahead
·       At end of 10 overs of 2nd Innings – 65% felt Mumbai was ahead at this stage
Clearly Hyderabad lost the match in the first 10 overs of their bowling.  Given that Mumbai were 16/1 after 4 overs – overs 5 to 10 were the biggest negatives for Hyderabad.

Fan Data Analytics: Key to drive sports company growth

By Anonymous
Over the last several years, the buzz word in business and IT circles has been "big-data" and analytics. Many many articles and write-ups talk about them so I won't go into the details. You could get enough to last a lifetime with just the first few results of a Google search of these terms. But do you really know how it applies, specifically to a sports company? For long, sports franchises have been one of the biggest users of analytics. Before this was a buzz word, coaches and managers have relied up numbers and finding patterns in them to drive on-field performance. Indeed, the major leagues of the world have relied on performance analytics for everything from scouting for talent to calling the action on the field of play. But that never transcended to the off-field, more mundane but equally important task of managing the sports business. As more and more options come up vying for the fan's attention - live events, travel, other sports, TV, the Internet - the

Need for co-ed sports

By
Now, this is hardly a feminist piece. I am not here to tell you that women can do anything that men can and better too. One, you know it too. Two, this is hardly about women. I am not here to praise women and demand better rights. I am talking about the possibility that the entire field of sports can take a whole new meaning if gender is not made the criterion. So this is how the idea for the blog started. The Women’s Indian Cricket Team performed really well at the world cup this year. Mithali Raj praised her team for their hard work, persistence, and passion for the game. She also added that there should be an IPL tournament in the country for the women’s team now. Raj believes that the team’s fantastic game has increased the fan following for the women’s team as well and that they have earned their place here. While I am honestly not sure about an IPL tournament for women, it did get me thinking. Why not mixed sports? Now that girls play almost all the games that the guys do, w

Editor's Pick (ODI Finals): Bangladesh - Sri Lanka

By
The finals are finally here. Bangladesh meets Sri Lanka leaving Zimbabwe out. You might think that being home series for Bangladesh, it is really no big deal. But it really is not so. Sri Lanka lost home series. Now Australia is facing severe defeat by England. There is no such thing that it is normal for the home team to win anymore. Plus I would really like to appreciate Bangladesh for the way they are making into the big league of cricket today. If you look at the points table, you will see that Bangladesh won three out of four matches. Their points - 15 - are almost four times the score of Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka, with 9 points, made it to the finals. The last match saw Sri Lanka Beat Bangladesh. The only match that the home team ever lost. Makes you wonder if Bangladesh peaked a tad too early, doesn’t it? It was a comprehensive win for Sri Lanka. Bangladesh were 82 all out in 24 overs. Sri Lanka hit the target in less than 12 overs and won by ten wickets. It was really a o
