Chennai: Cricket coaches, bowlers and captains watching earlier matches and working out a strategy to tie down a star batsman of an opposite team is soon to become passe.
A city-based tech company, Frontier Technologies India, has proposed using the giant digital screen on the ground to show the strong and not so strong points of a batsman on real time basis so that the bowling team can chalk out appropriate on-the- ground strategies.
"We have approached the cricket boards of India and Sri Lanka with our proposal and a decision is awaited. We want to do this in the ensuing India-Sri Lanka one day series in Sri Lanka," M.S. Muralidharan, Managing Director.
The company is the sole owner for digital management rights - installation and management of LED mega screen and LED perimeter systems - for the forthcoming three Test matches and five One Dayers between India and Sri Lanka.
"A six member research team is working on this project," Muralidharan added.
He does not expect any problem from the sponsors of a batsman for this proposal.

Comment 1: I do not think that this has to be so open during play time. Let this be provided to the coaches or the team heads so that they can plan for it in coming matches. Doing it on a real time basis might kill the very purpose of the excitement and the polishness to the game of cricket.
