Almost halfway through the regular season for the Women's Big Bash League #WBBL - time for some charts from the #cricreadR package.
Very much love following this league!

Wanted to compare how different cricket grounds produce different scores. Utilised a similar methodology as Baseball - see link - however used strike rate.
Give the Hundred is on currently, makes most sense to present the Women's and Men's 100 Park Factors

Due to Cricinfo API changes cricreadr previously hadn’t ingested any new matches since October 2024. I’ve now fixed this! 🎉🥳
Data is now being updated again on a daily basis for the *main* T20 competitions being played:

Rare breaking change in the #nflverse!
`nflreadr::load_players()` now loads v2 players data.
During the process of the rewrite I decided to rename some variables for consistency and removed some irrelevant variables. Please see the below table for a detailed comparison of old and new data.

Suppose every baguette molecule is a data point, the whole loaf obviously has a negative correlation and each slice obviously has a positive correlation. Should think of simpson's paradox as a kind of selection bias. Every time you cut a data set you cut along some sort of shape.

My cricket R package (github.com/albtree/cric...) has been out of action since October after an API change. Have finally started working on it again. Popped out some Women's Premier League charts from some old code.

Trying to use mindfulness more regularly when I’m feeling overwhelmed or need a circuit breaker to help snap out of a grumpy mood. Wanted to share this one from last week, especially the quote:
“You deserve this time. You matter and so does your well being”

Played some competitive CS again tonight for the first time in ~15 years. Felt right considering the release of de_train
Good fun! New laptop definitely needed though….
