This is an awesome post and should be required reading for cricket and/or statistics enthusiasts! It just elevates the discourse from folks looking at anecdotal evidence and making broad claims and worse ... cricketing decisions.

I'm interested in these kinds of analysis percolating down to the amateur levels of the game- and helping players understand percentage play, patterns of play and of course strategy and tactics. It might also help folks improve specific skills given that amateur cricketers typically don't tend to invest time in deliberate practice. When I used to play club cricket a decade and half back - there was definitely less awareness.

Could you point me to the raw data sources you use ?
