Cricket-Metrics: The secret numbers of test cricket and why they are important (English Edition)

Is it possible that batsmen can increase their batting average by 15% by doing something very simple early in their innings? Can teams score fewer first innings runs yet win more matches? Should a captain elect to bat first or field first? Should the follow-on be enforced? The answers to these questions might surprise you. This book will challenge what you believe to be true about test cricket and the manner in which the game is played.
