Can you please explain how the Win Percentage is calculated? That seemed like the most interesting feature, and I'd like to know the logic behind it

Amazing stuff! In fact I saw this new Hawkeye and other stats system today. Really awesome stuff guys. A job well done by the cricinfo staff.

Just a comment on why a country with over a billion people cannot produce ONE bowler who can maintain 150K like our S.African or Australian counterparts? If we do find someone who can bowl 140+ we tell them to concentrate on line and length! And there speeds go down to 130+. Let someone comb the villages and find someone wo can bowl fast and keep banging it!

It will be really good if we can filter out the balls by type (wicket taking balls, dot balls etc..)

All very impressive, and I particularly like the "Win Likelihood" plot . . . although I'm a bit mystified at the long "flat" periods followed by sudden "jumps" that don't seem to be associated with an obvious event like a wicket. I'd love to know what changed at those moments.

Could you please give us a breakdown of how the win percentage is calculated?

this is greatttt!!! another revolutionary step by cricinfo... this will give such a realistic feel of the match. so now we can analyse every bowl and stroke played... a genuine cricket-lover's delight... thanks cricinfo for this.

Can u explain how you calculate the win likelihood? Based on historical reuslts/ statistics or something like that?

It does not tell us whether the bowler bowled from OTW(Over the wicket)or RTW(Round the wicket). "o" or "r" can be mentioned as well. The LBW rule changes when the angle of delivery changes!

wow...this is ultimate technology for die hard cricket fans to know about whats happening in the middle...kudos to cricinfo for this!!!

"And there is one thing we can offer you that television doesn't. The internet advantage makes you the master. All the graphics that the television producers showed you are now at your disposal. Now create those pitch maps, beehives and wagonwheels at your will and at your leisure."

Does anyone even care?
I mean sometimes you give us a feeling that we are a bunch of idiots who have nothing more to do in life than to over analyze every single ball bowled in a cricket match 100s of times! Its good to see it once on TV. But to assume that a vast majority of us would like to do this over and over again on our personal computers over the internet...is bizarre! Its time cricinfo took a break!

Great addition. Sitting in my office I could use it to see precisely the line of attack today by SA seamers. Lots of short pitched stuff, some wide full deliveries tempting the drive, worked like a charm. Always wanted this control in my hand rather than being at the mercy of the commentary.

Dear Sambit May i just begin by saying that your articles rock and are always a fascinating read! for me though i just have to say that hawkeye is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever seen. Having watched internation cricket for 15 years it shows balls hitting leg stump which are almost impossible. Can it really take into account the kind of pitch your playing on? As a example a ball hitting the pad in perth is almost certain to go over but in multan or delhi it wont. Its just not accurate and im sure that other cricket lovers would agree!!!!! Salam Namaste.

Wow! this is simply incredible. Keep up the good work Cricinfo.

Please use metric for HawkEye's bowling speeds. Of the cricket-playing nations, only that backwater known as the UK still uses Imperial measurements. Even Cricinfo's commentary uses metric. Get with the programme.

kind of an information overload but considering the cricket enthusiasts over this place....nothing will be too much i guess

Why is there a graph of run rate vs. overs, instead of a simple runs vs. overs graph?

The advantages to the simpler graph are overwhelming. The runs vs. overs graph represents the same information in a far more useful format: There's no wild oscillations at the start of an innings. At any point the vertical distance between the lines is exactly the different in runs at that stage of the innings. At any point the average slope of the graph (easy to judge visually) is the run rate. At any point the slope from the end of the plot to a target is the run rate required for that target. A late acceleration makes an identical impact to an early one.

Every time I hear a Channel 9 commentator offer their analysis of the run rate graph it's like someone is scraping their fingernails down a blackboard.

Brilliant, brilliant stuff, Cricinfo! Thank you!

This surely is a revelation in cricket broadcast! Thanks for empowering the viewer...

Ah, it appears that at least for ODIs the "Worms" option is available to show a sensible graph of runs vs. overs. It baffles me that the terrible "Run Rate" graph is considered appropriate to make available for Tests and "Worms" isn't, but neither of them are particularly important for Tests so I'll cope. Thank you for providing the "Worms" option for ODIs.

Great. Thanks for helping the users.

I absolutely love this! Thanks CI!

It's absolutely brilliant! Those words are simply not enough to praise Cricinfo and the people involved with this. Thank you!

Great Work!!!

I do not think, this is required. I do not follow cricket so closely. While watching match these information are additional tools only. But in any case they look better on TV. I prefer to follow them on TV not on computers. In any case I would like watch matches in bits and pieces and not so detailed. Thanks, Shirolkar

This is really great. I couldnt have believed what i was experiencing. Thank you cricinfo and keep on great work.

I love the hawkeye, really puts you in the action

good

Brilliant; Cricinfo just continues to get better...

This is good news to cricket followers who want more detail and analysis and also the opportunity to undertake this themselves.

Brilliant, love it. Also like the win likelihood - how is that calculated?

The new featue is truely amazing. :) Loved it. There is one suggestion for the Win Likelyhood graph. The x Axis "Match Progress" can be divided into Days and session as its unit. This will be more informative (in presentation terms) about the swing about the match.

Good work Cricinfo team !!!!!!

One more request. In live commentry, now we can see even the speed, it will good if it is provided as a link and a click on the same will display the ball trajectory animation in Haw Eye.
Yesterday i really struggled to find trajectory of the ball 54.3 & 54.6 where Sach was beaten in so many Dots.... :(

Hashim Amla you played a wonderful inning and your contribution palyed a big role in defeating India by inning and 6 run - keep up the good work "Insha Allah"

great stuff. Just in terms of the ball by ball commentary, I love the addition of 'wickets' so one does not have to scroll all through the commentary to find what happened. Equally useful would be the addition of "chances" a summary of these and description would be great. Then we (the reader) can get a better feel for the teams performance and the "if onlys..."

hawk-eye is revolutionary to the game but i must be worried if i were an umpire, it seems like hawk-eye is there to expose how inaccurate an umpoirer can be.
