Editor’s Pick(TNPL): Tuti Patriots - Lyca Kovai Kings

By
Four wins from four games. They are on top of their game. Tuti Patriots. They seem to be able to do nothing wrong so far. They are quite dominant this season and rightly so. The way the calmly defeated Chepauk Super Gillies by a fairly big margin of 27 runs showed that they are playing a very level-headed game. Unless someone breaks this streak, the cup is not too far away from their grasp.
Today’ they meet Lyca Kovai Kings. The Kings have not had a great tournament so far. They have only one win from three matches. Well to be fair, they lost only one. The third match was abandoned. Having said that, their run rate is still as bad as -0.1250. They are third from the bottom and they are meeting a team who have not lost any of their four matches. Will Lyca manage to break the winning stride of the Patriots? Never say never.

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
