Importing from MyCricket

I have imported a match from MyCricket into Crciketstatz which was processed and saved but with a number of warnings in relation to players details, of the 22 players it skipped 14 players. (could not match player 'GM Lambert"-skipped. Add new player/Assign Alias)

I have checked the details of players that were skipped in both the MyCricket and Cricketstatz and they appear to be similar. I can not see why they don't match. The new match id in Cricketstatz is 203316, I have manually updated the match with the missing players. It appears to be mainly players with a middle initial but did have 2 players that did not have a middle initial.

Example of a couple of players in both systems. I do have a spreadsheet with all the players from both systems.

Hi Richard,

Did you add GM Lambert to the alias of this player record?

Take a look at Q11 in our FAQ thread at https://www.cricketstatz.com/support-forum/questions/frequently-asked-questions

I hope that helps.

Thanks, Mark adding the aliases did to all the players that failed fixed . I still checked the import results against the score book and fixed minor things. One was the wicket keeper catches I changed to ct behind.

Mark when I searched earlier through the comments there was one that mentioned that import process could be stacked, is that feature available in the on line version.

I have two similar named players in a Club, and when I import from MyCricket get an error message

"Warning - Could not match player 'J Marshall' - skipped. Quick Add | Assign Alias"

The two players are

James Marshall #306254 (Ext ID(MyCkt) 1055272)
Jessie Marshall #417779 (Ext ID(MyCkt) 1055274)

They are both in Team # 9195 Ex-Services 3rd (Ex-Services Club in CricketStatz. They both played against Hillgrove CC yesterday in MyCricket Match #3583625 I have tried changing Alias to Ja Marshall and Je Marshall to no avail. When I scroll over the name on the scorecard I can see a "Javascript:cl_plyc(1055274,12959,0) eg for Jessie in bottom left of my PC screen. Can you assist please? Could we use the external ID as separation of players? regards Brian

Hi Brian,

The MyCricket import function looks only at the text name - it doesn't look at links or Javascript. If the name showing on MyCricket for both players is identical then Cricket Statz will not be able to split them.

Point#1 - you probably want to get them changed on MyCricket since anyone looking at that scorcard won't be able to split them either. It seems common practice to use the initial of a middle name for one of them - such as JM Marshall.

Point#2 - If Point#1 is not possible, then the only solution for import is to set the Alias for one of the players to J Marshall and then manually adjust the scorecard in Cricket Statz after the import.

Just an update: I have looked into this more and the externalID simply won't work consistently since MyCricket does not have links on all scorecard entries.

For example, in the match you quote, there is a dismissal "lbw b J Marshall". This J Marshall has no link, and therefore no externalID, so it is impossible to match up which J Marshall was the bowler. It is going to require a manual adjustment.

The best solution is for someone to change the name of one of the J Marshalls in MyCricket so that you can have 100% automation.
