Tarik's has been supplying sporting data and statistics on the internet since 1994, and have been involved in supplying statistical data to major sporting bodies in cricket, rugby union and golf sports.

We also focus on providing the kind of data that sports punters are looking for, so they can do their own analysis.

We will soon have historical data available with our own analysis from the punters point of view available on this site.

You will also find a wide selection of sporting ebooks and sporting books available on this site. We chose them specifically to add interest and to offer you something different.

April 6, 2012 - Rip Curl Pro Final - the greatest final ever but the questions flow...
In what many consider is the best final in the 50 year history of the Bells Beach Easter professional surfing event, there were questions being asked after World Champion Kelly Slater was given a score of ten for a one manouvre wave.
Trailling badly, Slater pulled off an amazing air to the roars of amazement from the crowd and the judges instantly gave him a score of ten, the ultimate score.
Interestingly, perhaps realising their mistake the judges then scored down all of Slaters subsequent attempts to repeat the process with the world champion clearly seeking to win the event using the strategy that had worked so well. Having been awarded a ten for just one action on the wave, Slater kept going for the same technique.
Many questions have been asked, but clearly the consensus is that the judges got it wrong.

1) If giving a ten for one manouvre is correct, then the signal judges are sending is for surfers to abandon wave riding for stunt riding. Why ride a wave out if you can just perform one freakish manouvre and score ten?
2) Were the judges saying that the ultimate had been achieved and there was no other work Slater could have performed on the wave to make it perfect?
3)Given the degree of analysis the judges conduct over many wave scores, viewing replays for comparison, why did they decide Slater's score was a ten so quickly?

There is a lot of discussion in sport about the effect of the crowd on judges and referees. Yesterday the world champion pulled off a freak manouvre, the crowd roared and the judges got carried away.
Luckily, the event wasn't decided by this error of judgement and the better surfer in the final, Mick Fanning, won.

March 28 - LA Dodgers sold for record price.

The US Baseball franchise has been sold for a record sporting franchise price of $2 billion.
The previous owner paid $430million in 2004 and had accrued debts of nearly $600 million.
So the question on everyones mind is how can someone come along and pay $2 billion and expect to make a profit?
