This was begun at ozunconf, but needs some work to get it ready for public distribution. One issue is whether to include the data, or just provide some scraping functions.

Di would be interested in helping with this package - actually maybe helping to make some plots of it when data is packaged a bit

[x] Update fetch_player() with argument "activity" to allow batting, bowling and fielding to be specified.
[ ] Include some innings-level data for all international matches. Possibly source from howzstat rather than cricinfo to prevent possible copyright issues.
[x] Change name of package so it is not so tied to cricinfo.
[x] Add function to allow identification of player id on cricinfo
