Who are the best and the greatest batsmen, bowlers, captains, teams and all-rounders in ODI history? How accurately can cricket matches be predicted? Which teams and players perform the best under stress? Who is likely to become the most successful team of this decade and why. Cricket has its glorious uncertainties but some things are less uncertain than commonly believed.

It explores what really works in predicting player and team performances and shows how batting and bowling can be evaluated in a symmetrical manner. After reading Criconomics, you will be able to size up batsmen and bowlers, predict first innings scores and chances of successful chases that too, without even having to use a calculator The book also speculates on the future of Test, ODI and T20 cricket and gives recommendations for all the three forms of cricket to flourish.
