Abstract

The combined bowling rate CBR is a well-established bowling performance measure that has been used widely to compare the performances of bowlers in limited overs matches. It can be used to compare career performances, but also to compare bowlers' performances after a short series. In such a comparison it is logical that bowlers who had bowled a very small number of overs (compared to the rest) should either not be included in the ranking because the value of CBR may be very good due to early success, or alternatively, special provision should be made for such a situation. A possible solution to this problem is to adjust the combined bowling rate to take the number of overs bowled into account, thereby making comparisons more reasonable. The purpose of this study is to propose a procedure and to determine how satisfactory this approach is.
