Bowling

Pitch maps from match video

Give this a video of a match and the ball-by-ball scorecard for the same match, and it works out where every delivery pitched — line and length in metres — and draws each bowler a heat map of the pitch. The scorecard is what makes it possible: every ball in the feed carries the time it was bowled, so the analyser only ever has to search a few seconds of footage per delivery instead of hunting through the whole stream.

Match video link

Anything yt-dlp can fetch. Downloaded at up to 720p — a ball is still several pixels across at 720p — and kept on the 4TB NVMe alongside the results. Nothing is deleted unless you delete the run.

Ball-by-ball scorecard link

Must be a match that was scored ball by ball — a scorecard with only the totals has no delivery times, and there is nothing to line the video up against.

First delivery at (optional)

Where the very first ball of the match lands in the video. Leave it blank and you will be asked once the video is down, with a frame to look at.

Name this run (optional)

Runs on this Mac, one at a time. A full innings is a few hundred deliveries and each is decoded and tracked separately, so expect hours rather than minutes.

Runs (254)

Finished NSW Premier and Metropolitan Cup matches that were streamed are downloaded on their own after each weekend — marked auto.
