Construction of Test to Judge Ball Sense Ability of Batsman in Cricket

Öz

The purpose of the test was to judge the ball sense ability of batsman in cricket. A total of sixty( 60) male division level Cricket players (mean ± SD: age 16.37 ± 1.71 years, height 1.56 ± 0.03 m, weight 51.00 ± 5.62 kg) from LNIPE cricket academy, Gwalior (M.P) were selected as subject. Purposive sampling technique was used to attain the objectives of the study. Sixty subjects were tested on the test twice by researcher and reliability of test to judge ball sense ability by researcher was established by using “test- retest method”. Grading limits are developed for test to assess the performance, to establish the reliability of the collected data Pearson’s product moment correlation statistical technique was employed and alpha level was set at 0.05.The results of correlation test between testing first time and testing second time showed a significant positive correlation between testing first time and testing second time because p-value (p<0.05). Reliability co-efficient obtained from test (0.840) was found significantly reliable. It was conclude that the test that was constructed to judge ball sense ability of batsman in cricket is reliable and can be used for assessing the ball sense ability of batsman in cricket.
