New Hot Spot Technology in Cricket

Hot Spot is another great invention in cricket to show whether the ball has hit the bat, pad or glove. This technology has been used by the military to track jet fighters and it has 100 percent accuracy. To see how this technology works, please see the link: http://www.9perth.com.au/News/item126.aspx

This technology can be used to determine whether the ball has hit the batsman's bat or pad and can help the umpires to make the correct decisions. In one of my post, I have mentioned about the snickometer but hot spot has an advantage over snickometer as it clearly shows where the ball hits. It can be used for both caught and LBW decisions. Umpires usually have confusion on whether the ball has strikes on the batsman's bat first or pad first and this technology can give you a clear idea about it.
