Review corrections

Posted: 4th of December, 2021

Well this is awkward. While doing some other work on the data files I noticed that one of the review entries didn’t seem to make sense. This, as it does when something like this happens, led me to write some extra validation checks, and that found a number of discrepancies. I’ve corrected them, and the new validations will now be run for every new data file generated. The details of the corrected matches are listed later.

If you make use of the review data then you’ll probably want to update your copies of the data files. With that in mind, I’ve created a download of the JSON data for the corrected matches.

Moved to a different delivery

I’d associated some reviews to the incorrect delivery in an over. Generally this was down to my failing to take wides or no-balls into account. I’ve corrected the following entries.

Date Teams Event Reason
2009-11-24 New Zealand vs Pakistan 1st Test Moved from the 3rd to the 4th delivery of the 126th over in the 1st innings. Neglected to account for the wide on the 2nd delivery of the over.

Removed an invalid review

In one case I’d incorrectly applied a review to multiple deliveries. I’ve corrected that so that the review appears just once.

Date Teams Event Reason
2021-06-18 India vs New Zealand ICC World Test Championship Final I accidentally added a review to 2 deliveries rather than a single one, so the erroneous entry has been removed from the 6th delivery of the 97th over in the 2nd innings.
