Cricket is a statisticians dream. Every aspect of a cricketer's performance is measured by statistics. The great players are often separated from the good players based on statistics.

For those that did not get a chance to witness the great Don Bradman bat, the only way they know he was perhaps the best batsman that ever lived was in is amazing batting average of 99.94.

You can't improve what you don't measure.

Regardless of what level of cricket you play, tracking your performance is a key element in improving your game.

Statistics can be used to find weak spots in your game.

• Economy rate through the roof? Learn to bowl more economically.
• Batting strike rate too low? Learn to play more aggressively or turn the strike over more regularly.

You can track your own stats with a free to use website called Crictrack. Batting, bowling and fielding statistics are tracked and calculated on a game by game basis, allowing you to build up your career statistics.

If you are not already doing so, get tracking, get identifying your strengths and weaknesses and watch your performance improve.
