Cricket getting ( more ) crazy

Pic taken from a forum - www.ausgamers.com

The Aussies are going ahead in out-of-the-box thinking in cricket. Not the way in which they play, but the way in which they view the game.

If you are watching the on going Big Bash League ( BBL ). You can see two strange things, the camera on the umpire's hat and the glowing stumps and bails. 

The camera is kind of cool than the glowing stumps, but the view is curved, it will be hard to see for long time, as we tend to get dizzy with the curved view.

There is also another thing I noticed, they had fixed the heart beat calculator for the umpires. So when there is a appeal, the commentators check it to see how much it went up. ( Thank fully it calculates only heart beat !! ).

Some crazy ideas for future.

• Keep the camera on the batsman helmet ( Looks like they are already considering for future )
• Make a sensor in the bat, so when the ball hits the middle of the bat, the sensor will pass a signal to the sound box in the stadium and it will give a big thunder sound.
• Laser lights on top of the stumps- So there can be a laser show in-between overs.
• Camera inside the ball.
• Replace umpires with robots.
• Alas, scrap the game and play golf.
