support my work.SubscribeAndre Russell, since 2019, has struck 2,005 runs at a
SR of 180 and average of 27.5. Pretty decent numbers, given his entry points and
what is often required of him. These numbers translate to him giving 27 runs off
every 15 balls he faces before losing a wicket. More than decent.If we further
split these numbers by the bowling kind (right-arm or left-arm pace), we can unearth
deltas in this seemingly one-sided matchup to discover his worst performing matchups.

averaging between ~45-60% of successful chases, the highest being in 2021 where
61.7% of the chases resulted in success.While the proportion of matches won chasing
have largely stayed the same, the distribution of targets set and chased have
varied dramatically between 2024 and the 5 seasons preceding it. Between 2019
and 2023, almost 62% of the targets were set at below 180 runs, with ~42% of them
being between 150 and 180 runs. Scores between 170-180 are what’s typically considered
to be at par for most grounds across India, and the spread of targets have shown
just that.The number of targets less than 180 runs and between 150 & 180 runs

patch right now, he is potentially the only cricketer that will go down as an
all-time great because of his brilliance in only one format, the 20 over game.
He, like most Indian batters, struggles a bit against SLA, but still fares better
than most of his contemporaries. He’s conservative against the straight-on SLAOs,
bowled at the stumps from a good length. As the bowler drifts his line away from
the stumps, he finds himself to have more room, and his striking ability improves

- matchups. Against left-arm medium and right-arm fast, Russell averages 20 RpW
striking at less than 160. Focusing on right-arm fast, against which he’s gotten
out 19 times for 390 runs at a SR of 157. One might look at this and choose to
default to right-arm fast against the giant, but it’s pertinent to look at the
lines and lengths he’s fallen victim to, to understand how this match-up can be
used against him in the most effective manner.The success % indicates the proportion
of balls bowled at a given line-length that yielded a wicket. As you can see,
for all line-length combinations for which at least 10 balls were bowled, Russell’s
found himself to be out of answers for balls pitched outside the off stump bowled
short. For all other
- right-arm off-break all too well, etc. Data around batter-specific matchups is
now readily available. For example, Rishabh Pant finds it hard to score against
right-arm express quicks (averaging 19 striking at 130), Virat Kohli is extremely
cautious batting against SLAs and OBs, striking at 110 and 111 against them respectively.Some
batters may not dominate every bowling style, but they consistently perform decently
and deliver sizeable returns against most types of bowlers. To understand how
to effectively challenge these players, we can analyze specific combinations of
line and length that bowlers use against them. By delving deeper into these patterns,
we can identify the precise deliveries that are most effective in restricting

but targeting the stumps. Additionally, he loses his wicket at almost the same
rate relative to the runs scored in both scenarios. While not an overwhelmingly
effective matchup, this is a strategy that teams should consider using against
him.Some line-length combination matchups are easier to unearth, with just a little
bit of digging. Heinrich Klaasen is one of the greatest T20 bats in the world
right now. The man has an unmatched ability against spin, one of the most lethal
hitters in the death overs, and fares well against pace bowling of all kinds as
well (1,538 runs at a SR of 154 and an average of 29.5 RpW). For the 933 balls

trouble them the most.Our hypothesis on the importance of precision in line-length
combinations is further validated when we evaluate bowlers based on the proportion
of effectively defensive deliveries they bowl. The data clearly indicate that
a higher percentage of deliveries pitched on a good length outside the off-stump
strongly correlates with a bowler’s economy rate. This trend holds consistently
across both spin and pace bowlers, with only a few expected outliers.This analysis
considers bowlers who have bowled over 1,000 deliveries between 2019 and October
2024, with available line-length data. The dataset includes 40 spinners and 74

things jump out the minute you look at this graph. Batters like Finn Allen and

in the Powerplay while being dispensable with their wicket. A very high proportion

sentences:
- we will not be considering on-the-stump yorkers for either spinners or pacers.The
similarities and differences here are equally intriguing. Good-length deliveries,
regardless of the type, offer comparable chances of success for both spin and
pace bowlers. Deliveries pitched between good length and short, drifting down
the leg side, are the least effective for both styles, although they are nearly
twice as successful for pacers compared to spinners. On the other hand, a good-length
delivery wide outside off-stump is slightly more effective for spinners and also
proves to be less expensive. Conversely, short-pitched deliveries on the stumps
are twice as likely to result in a wicket for pacers compared to spinners and

bowlers paint a prettier picture. He strikes at 150 at an average of 46 RpW. For
all batters with a minimum of 500 runs against leg-break bowling, only Nicolas
Pooran has scored runs more quickly and at a higher average than him.While the
ball lined up on the stumps pitched at a good length from a SLAO bowler sets his
striking ability back, he’s more proactive against a similarly pitched delivery
coming from a leg-break bowler (52 avg, 148 SR). It will be cruel to call it a
weakness, but he is relatively tamer against balls that are pitched outside the
