EAST RIDING CRICKET SOCIETY

A fascinating start to 2019/20 with Nathan Leamon , arguably 'one of the most significant figures in [modern] cricket'. As England performance analyst since 2009, and author of the free CricViz analytical software used by players, coaches and broadcasters alike, Nathan is at the heart of a data revolution.
