Abstract

Editorial: For those of our readers who follow and understand the game of cricket, you will no doubt agree that the ICC Cricket World Cup to be held in Australia and New Zealand in early 2015 is the pinnacle of world cricket. As was pointed out in an earlier editorial, those who do not come from the small number of countries who follow cricket, will not understand what all the fuss is about. This World Cup that I am referring to is the one-day version of the game where players from one team awkwardly throw a hard leather ball at the opposition players (don’t worry, only one ball and one player at a time). The player with a wooden bat then attempts to hit the ball as long as they can in order to run a certain distance before the ball is recovered by the fielding team. Any clearer yet? Perhaps for those of you who I have now confused even further should watch out for the major media coverage that will follow the Cricket World Cup and see for yourself what all the fuss is about. Given the interest in this sport in some of the countries who closely follow our journal I thought it was appropriate to focus this editorial on the research that supports cricket.
