Abstract
For a while now, cricket coaches and analysts have, during practice, placed sensors on key parts of batters' bodies - arms, legs, the abdomen and thighs - that generate movements that determine how efficiently the batter hits the ball. Yet whereas the player's body propels the bat, it's the bat itself that actually speeds through the air and strikes the ball. The new sensor tech, named BatSense, was devised by Intel, the International Cricket Council's innovation partner, and sports start-up Specular. The technology sends real-time data of bat speed and angle from the point the batter lifts the bat, through the downward arc, the moment of impact and the follow through, to an analyst's computer. According to a lead batting coach, the new technology will provide coaches and players with information to enhance players' performance.
