“…[2,3] Furthermore, these actions are performed repeatedly and at high intensities, during training and competition. [4,5] As a result, fast bowlers have the highest risk of injury, with prevalence rates of approximately 42%. [4] Despite indirect evidence of the physical demands of fast bowling, very few studies have focussed on identifying and describing these variables.…”

“…[4] Despite indirect evidence of the physical demands of fast bowling, very few studies have focussed on identifying and describing these variables. [3,5] A reason for this may be linked to the fact that it is difficult to quantify the loads being placed on the bowler and the resultant responses, because of the irregular 'stop-start' nature of fast bowling. [5] Furthermore, care should be taken when interpreting the current available literature/research as it focuses primarily on the acute responses to bowling load, such as heart rate, blood lactate concentrations and hydration status.…”

[5] Additionally, no study has examined the impact of lower limb fatigue on bowlers despite the fact that in other intermittent sports functional strength was used to investigate this response.

“…Further research that is based on a holistic, interdisciplinary approach is required to deepen the understanding of the physical demands of fast bowling, so that injuries may be prevented and performance improved.

Background: The demands placed on fast bowlers may elicit unique responses that contribute towards increased injury risk and comprised performance capabilities. Despite this, very few investigations have attempted to quantify these demands and their impact on performance in cricketers. Objective: This investigation attempted to quantify the effects of a fast bowling protocol on the musculoskeletal, physiological and perceptual responses of fast bowlers; as well as ball speed and accuracy. Methods: Eight young adult bowlers (20 ± 2 years) participated in a 10-over bowling protocol that had been separated by intermittent fielding drills into three bowling spells respectively (4-, 3- and 3- overs). Selected responses were collected throughout the protocol. Results: Functional strength was measured and showed no change. Heart rate responses increased significantly (p<0.05) at the start of the bowling protocol. Local ratings of perceived exertion increased significantly (p<0.05) as a function of exercise duration, while low to moderate intensities of perceived discomfort were noted in the anterior and posterior shoulder areas, upper portion of the lower limb musculature, as well as in the middle and lower back regions. Performance responses experienced no significant change. Conclusion: There was no significant change in ball release speed and accuracy across the bowling protocol. Lower limb muscle power remained consistent and heart rates reached a steady state after the first over. In comparison, local ratings of perceived effort and body discomfort increased over time, which could mean that those unchanged measures do not accurately reflect fatigue or that perceptions are a more effective indicator of impending fatigue. Keywords: accuracy, speed, heart rate, body discomfort, ratings of perceived exertion

The game of cricket is played at various times of the day and no studies have investigated the time of day effects on perceptual, physical and performance measures of cricketers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to focus on adolescent fast bowlers and their responses when bowling at different times of the day. First team, adolescent male fast bowlers (N = 5, Mean age 17.00 ± 0.55 years; stature 185.2 ± 6.5 cm and mass 86.06 ± 17.56 kg) were required to complete a fast-bowling simulation protocol whereby perceptual, physical and bowling-specific performance measures were tested at three different times of day (10:30, 14:30, 18:30). Over all the spells over one was significantly slower than all the other overs. There were no significant changes in bowling speed between the time intervals. However, there was a large increase in bowling speed at 14:30 compared to 10:30 (ES – 1.25) and a moderate increase in bowling speed (ES = 0.67) between 10:30 and 18:30. There was no significant change in accuracy at the different time intervals although it was best at 10:30 followed by 18:30 although the latter had a greater variance. In conclusion, this investigation found time of day did not significantly impact the responses, but the effects sizes show that bowling accuracy was worst at 14:30 despite the other parameters, such as speed of delivery, being best at this time, which may suggest a speed-accuracy trade-off. Additionally, both 10:30 and 18:30 were found to be times conducive to bowling performance with regards to accuracy.

Wickramasinghe, I.P. (2014). Predicting the performance of batsmen in test cricket. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 9(4), pp.744-751. Cricket is one of the team games played over 50 countries in different levels. Though the performance of each batsman in the team can be easily quantified, the prediction of player performance is arduous. This paper demonstrates a methodology to predict the performance of cricket batsman in testmatch series. In this study, longitudinal test cricket data have been collected over five years of period. A model is developed to predict the player performance as a function of certain characteristics related to the player, the team and the match series. Due to the hierarchical nature of the collected cricket data, a three stage hierarchical linear model is proposed in this investigation. According to the outcome of the analysis, the handedness of the player (batsman) and the rank of the team significantly influence player performance. Finally, an accurate prediction of player performance is conducted using the proposed model.
