GooglyPlus: yorkr analyzes IPL players, teams, matches with plots and tables

In this post I introduce “GooglyPlus” another more evolved version of my earlier Shiny app “Googly”. My R package ‘yorkr’,  on which both these Shiny apps are based, has the ability to output either a dataframe or plot, depending on a parameter plot=TRUE or FALSE. My initial version of the app only included plots and did not exercise the yorkr package fully. Moreover, I am certain, there may be a set of cricket aficionados who would prefer, numbers to charts. Hence I have created this enhanced version of the Googly app and appropriately renamed it as GooglyPlus. Feel free to clone/fork or download the code from Github at GooglyPlus.

The changes for GooglyPlus over the earlier Googly app is only in the following 3 tab panels

• IPL match
• Head to head
• Overall Performance

The analysis of IPL batsman and IPL bowler tabs are unchanged. These charts are as they were before.

The changes are only in  tabs i) IPL match ii) Head to head and  iii) Overall Performance. New functionality has been added and existing functions now have the dual option of either displaying a plot or a table.
