Two parts to this question:

• Are there any existing file formats or software libraries that can be used for scoring, archiving and/or analysing cricket games?
• Are the开发者_JS百科re any examples of database schemas suitable for recording all of the details of a cricket game?

Cricksheet offers ball-by-ball match data for the recent year in yaml format. The specification of their yaml format can be found here - http://cricsheet.org/format/ .

But, I really don't understand this 3 day thing everyone keeps talking about. Test matches last 5 days, One-day matches last, well, one day and T20 matches last close to 4 hours.

Only exhibition first-class matches or practice matches are played for 3 days, and I am wondering why anyone is talking about it here if that is what they are indeed talking about.

As you will know cricket is a complex game and commentator needs lots of stats to rehash over 3 days or more.

So short of someone sharing proprietary info, you probably better off designing an XML schema(may be) to store the data.

Good luck
