'Fascinating and insightful . . . lifts the curtain to reveal the inner workings of international cricket. A must-read for any cricketer, coach or fan' Eoin Morgan

'This path-breaking book should be compulsory reading for commentators and captains - and all cricket fans' Mervyn King

'Clever and original but also wise' Ed Smith

How valuable is winning the toss? And how should captains use it to their advantage? Why does a cricket ball swing? Why don't Indians bat left-handed? What is a good length and why? Why are leg-spinners so successful in T20 cricket? Why did England win the World Cup? Why do all Test bowlers bowl at either 55 or 85mph? Why don't they pitch it up?

All cricketers long to know the answer to these questions and many more. Only fifteen years ago it would have been difficult to answer them - cricket was guided only by decades-old tradition and received wisdom.

Data has changed everything. Today we can track every ball to within millimetres; its release point, speed and bounce point are measured as are how much the ball swings, how much it deviates off the pitch, the exact height and line that it passes the stumps, and multiple other variables. Hitting Against the Spin is the story of that data, and what it can tell us about how cricket really works.

Leading cricket thinkers Nathan Leamon and Ben Jones lift the lid on international cricket and explain its hidden workings and dynamics - the forces that shape cricket and, in turn, the cricketers who play it. They analyse the unseen hands that determine which players succeed and which fail, which tactics work and which don't, which teams win and which lose. They also explore the new world of franchise cricket as well as the rapid evolution of the T20 format.

Revolutionary in its insights, Hitting Against the Spin takes you on a fascinating whistle-stop tour of modern cricket and sports analytics, bringing cricket firmly into the twenty-first century by revealing its long-kept secrets. This is the most important cricket book in decades.

Produktbeskrivning

Recension

Deeply thoughtful, clever and open-minded . . . One way of viewing this book is as cricket's A Brief History of Time, a layman's guide to deep complexity, an act of communication as much as one of science. On that level it works beautifully
well, engaging with concepts in attention-grabbing ways

--Jon Hotten, Wisden Cricket Monthly

Fascinating--Steve James, The Times

"He held degrees in both English and Economics, and the ability to to articulate the world of one, with the words of the other." The writer here is Nathan Leamon and the subject is baseball pioneer Bill James. But Leamon (both a novelist and a data analyst) could just as easily be writing about himself. Leamon has a rare kind of high intelligence: he is open to all kinds of knowledge, not just scientific knowledge, and he understands which method is appropriate in which circumstance. Put differently, he is not only clever and original, but also wise--Ed Smith, National Selector for England cricket & author of What Sport Tells Us About Life

Fascinating and insightful . . . lifts the curtain to reveal the inner workings of international cricket. A must-read for any cricketer, coach or fan--Eoin Morgan

Sport has been revolutionized by data. In their path-breaking book, Nathan Leamon and Ben Jones use data to show that many of our preconceptions are false and reveal astonishing new insights into international cricket. Compulsory reading for fans, commentators, captains and players--Mervyn King

Fascinating insights with one issue

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 12 september 2021

Verifierat köp

This is an amazing data driven insight into cricket. Providing stats to debunk or prove assumptions is hugely insightful. You come away knowing so much more about the game.

However, the propensity for male-centric language is unacceptable in this day and age. Pronouns are always “him” and there are very, very few comparisons made with any female sports at all.

At a time when women’s cricket is becoming increasingly popular, I would urge the authors to make the pronouns in this book gender neutral, and also to draw insights from the women’s game as well as the men’s game.

Insights beyond cricket...

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 16 augusti 2021

Verifierat köp

Ostensibly a book about cricket and how data applies to a complex sport, but in between the explanations of the rise of left handed batsmen or the importance of leg spin in 20:20 are some lessons about how to apply data. The tethered cat analogy is good, but equally the question from Trevor Bayliss asking 'Do we need to change or get better at what we are already doing?' sounds simple but is filled with nuance and challenge. Some good explanation of what stats can and can't do, as the search for the counter-intuitive revolutionary insight continues.

This is an outstanding cricket book

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 4 juli 2021

Verifierat köp

The main author is the data analyst for the England cricket team, a role that hadn’t previously existed. Parts of the book are quite difficult to follow but it is well worth the effort. The authors have written a very clever book

Fascinating and easy to read

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 14 september 2022

Verifierat köp

I've been reading this with our 11 year old son and he loves it.
It is written in an easy, conversational tone, drawing repeatedly on popular moments in sport. However, it is packed with hard data.
It will deepen your understanding and answer or illuminate some of the most arcane questions in cricket.
A thoroughly enjoyable read, I highly recommend this for aspiring cricketers and fans of the game.

Just finished this book and I found it a very easy read which simultaneously gave me lots of new ideas and information about a game I have followed closely for 30 years. Not an easy feat to achieve! If you are a cricket fan who wants a better understanding of the sport this is a must read.
