Virtual reality studios, GPS tracking, data mining and neural network software programs - what do all these have to do with cricket, you ask? These are part of a series of technological developments planned to help maintain Australia's domination of world cricket. John Coomber writes in the Brisbane Times:
Cameras will be set up to capture as nearly as possible a batsman's-eye view of the opposition bowlers, and relay the feed to a studio near the Australian dressing room.
Players padded up and waiting to bat will be able to rehearse their innings using images gathered from the middle, and projected life-size back into the pavilion.
Don't you want to hear what Geoffrey Boycott thinks of all this?
