Cricketers continue playing matches without keeping track of how well they have been exactly performing. There are no tools available to collect data and store it for future reference and analysis. This data could be vital to both the cricketer and the coach.

For a batsman to progress, he needs to have data for introspection. For example, the percentage of runs scored in one’s and two’s up to 6’s. Also, he should have a count of dot balls.

Similarly, a bowler has to analyse from the data which includes no balls and wide balls. The comparative study of percentage in batting and bowling performances enables a player to discuss his line of action.

To consistently do well during the season, a player has to work on his fitness. The fitness results have to be monitored. Fitness form and reports for viewing can be compared to know how much progress a player has made. For a trainer to grade the level of fitness of his players, he has to have comparative figures.

The Technical Assessment and Match Performance forms and reports for the comparative study help a player and coach in formulating a plan of action. To perform consistently, a player puts in hours of practice and his coach after identifying faults, suggests remedial measures.

No coach can remember faults of each player as well as the remedial measures he suggested. It is here where data becomes both fundamental and critical. This tool makes it easier for a coach to note his technical assessment observations in the form and keep comparing. The comparison will make him work on the weakness of a player.

Fitness test results and periodical technical assessments act as back-up for a player to succeed but with each player playing nothing less than 30 to 40 matches a season, constant analysis is very important.

Our survey suggests that a player needs guidance to solve his psychological problems which coaches not being specialists are unable to do. For an individual member, he has to pose his particular problem on the interactive forum. Interaction between a player and psychologist shall remain confidential. As per his age, a player will have to undergo psychological tests. The counselling section will guide members.

This tool is also beneficial to institutions like schools, colleges, universities, clubs and state teams as they invest a lot of money to win championships. Lack of relevant information so very vital for monitoring progress makes it difficult for the coach and the team management to work out a specific plan.


Let us always remember that cricket is a time-consuming game. If you don’t monitor progress, you have wasted your time, money and most of all...the effort.
