England and Wales Cricket Board
At the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough University, David Rose spends a lot of time watching cricket. As the Performance Analysis Manager of the England and Wales Cricket Board, David is responsible for the player analysis that informs both England’s team strategy and selection.
"We conduct various research projects to understand what is successful
in International Cricket," says David. "Analysis of opposition
teams is used to develop game plans and our own players are monitored and
profiled to inform the selection process. A vital tool in delivering all
this information is Siliconcoach".
Having used Siliconcoach for three years, the England and Wales Cricket Boardalso
use the software for skill development. David has built up an extensive library
of video footage that has helped to build a better understanding of batting,
fielding and bowling technique. And using the Siliconcoach platform, this
information is easily shared across England and counties.
David sums it up nicely, “Siliconcoach does exactly what a technical
analysis package should do. The biggest selling point is its ease of use,
making it accessible to all coaches. The functionality allows you to understand
basic measurements and what is going on technically. The linkage with TimeWARP
allows best-practice to be easily captured and compared”.
