Adding Pitch Map, Ball Arrival and Release Point visualisations to Video Package Manager

To create a Pitch and Arrival visualisation from Match Stats Wizard:

1. Go to Statistics > Multi-Match Stats Wizard. The Select Matches dialogue opens.
2. Filter to the Teams, Match Types, Competitions, Venues, Date Range etc that you need
3. Select the matches you require
4. Create a Stats Wizard query to filter the data according to your analysis needs
5. Add your Ball Pitch and Ball Arrival image to Video Package Manager by opening the Play Video contextual menu and selecting Add Pitch Map and Beehive to Package
6. A new ball clip is created and added to the Video Package Manager Timeline, containing a static image of all balls in the selected query. Note that only balls that have been coded with Pitch and Arrival data (from any source) are included
7. From Video Package Manager you can control what elements you would like to display from Pitch Map, Ball Pitch, Ball Arrival and the Ball Arrival Grid
8. Use the Colour by option to colour the elements by category, or select None for the default colour scheme. Available categories are:
   • None (default colouring)
   • Wickets
   • Appeals
   • Batting Hand
   • Pace v Spin
   • Power Play
   • Session
   • Innings
   • Bowler (maximum of 11 can be displayed)
   • Batter (maximum of 11 can be displayed)
9. Add a Title and Sub-Title in the free text fields to give your viewers context for the image, such as the bowler's name, the query applied, or the match details

The Release Point visualisation displays the position where the bowler released each delivery. This graphic provides a clear overview of a bowler's release consistency and can help identify variations in angle or crease usage.

Like the Pitch Map and Ball Arrival graphics, the Release Point visualisation can be created from any set of ball clips returned from the Match Stats Wizard or Multi-Match Stats Wizard.
