Do you see advanced metrics being used in cricket, where the weather plays such a large role?

Do you see advanced metrics being used in cricket, where the weather plays such a large role?

I follow basketball very closely and the use of advanced metrics there is mind-boggling, so much so that they've almost become mainstream. There used to be a time when the guys who used to come up with this stuff were thought of as Moneyball geeks languishing on the edges of the internet. Now they're being hired by teams and the Rockets have gone as far as making one such geek GM. Another area I hope to see drastic innovation in is fitness training and injury management. Again there are precedents in the NBA. Will try to expand on this soon. Yes I’ve been thinking of these issues myself.

But again, the bit that excites me most is the analytical tools that will hopefully be developed to judge effectiveness. Delhi hiring TA Sekar was a masterstroke, I thought. They're never going to have a fast bowler out of form for too long. And this is a league where consistency will be prized above everything else. What about you? Are you looking forward to this?

Also, allowing trades between teams would be a great way to generate excitement. For all his American sports education, I guess Lalit Modi has never seen an NBA or NFL draft.
