Abstract

Traditionally, evaluation of individual player performances in one-day cricket and T -20 has been based on measures such as batting and bowling averages, and strike and economy rates. Whenever a player's performance statistics are quoted, there is nearly always some verbal qualification that is necessary in order to place the statistics into context. We have found a new statistical measure –FORM, which measures the form of a player. We have used what is known as an exponentially decaying average (EDMA). In this statistic, every score is considered in the calculation, but as you go back in time, each score is discounted by a certain percentage. This means recent score is given highest importance and past scores are given less weightage. Simple logic of short term EDMA and long term EDMA is used for calculating FORM. FORM of individual players is vital as the success of the team depends on the number of players who are in form. It can be used to estimate the total team score.
