| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles cricket, suggesting that it "is one game that has positively embraced innovation to improve both accuracy of official decision-making and enjoyment for spectators...One of the most impressive pieces of technology, putting the viewer right at the heart of the action...is the 'stumpcam.'" Describes the stumpcam, stating that "a small camera...sits inside a stump, a fibreglass [fiberglass] construction to provide greater durability and resilience for the miniature kit. The output of the camera is carried down a cable in the stump towards a tube buried under the surface in line with the middle of the wickets." Highlights various aspects of the stumpcam, including its use during winter weather, potential "logistical problems caused by the historic layouts of certain grounds," and "setting up cameras on cricket grounds abroad." States that "all the international grounds have a stumpcamera system in place as this is an ICC [International Cricket Council] requirement." |
