Cricket and technology: Stickometer

Cricket is in the air and not describing it technological factors would not be fair.
So lets start it with...
SNICKOMETER:
Thanks to the creator of this wonderful technical innovation:-Mr. Alan Plaskett
Snickometer helps the viewers as well as commentrators to judge if the umpire's decision in giving the batsmen out was correct or not.(This creation doesnt allow the viewer to jump out of their tv sets to kill the umpire)
Working:-
A high-sensitive microphone is placed very close to the off stump(may be thats why every mumble of the wicket keeper becomes a shout) and is coinnected to an oscilloscope which measures the sound waves of the oncoming ball.Whenever the batsmen nicks a ball,the oscilloscope trace goes wild.By watching the slow motion replay alongside this graph,you can determine whether the noise picked up by the microphone coincides with the ball passing the bat.
AND
Before:The oscilloscope trace After: The spike in the trace

before the ball makes contact when the ball makes contact
with the bat with the bat

From the above screenshot you can clearly see the difference in the oscilloscope trace.In the first image there is no spike in the trace which means the batsman did not nick the ball whereas the second image clearly shows the spike indicating that the bat has made contact with the ball.

Todays Match:-

vs

West Indies vs New Zealand

The real World cup begins...

Finally The real world cup has kickstarted after 14 days of Ist stage of world cup...i.e the qualification matches are over and now the SUPER 8 has begun...

With the first match between Australia and West Indies.

The W.C started with 16 teams.

8 are here 8 gone

These matches will surely be great.

So get ready as the real world cup has begun.

Today's Match:-

vs

Australia vs Westindies

India washed away by rain

India has finally been washed awayfrom the WC.
Becaude of India itself,rain.Bermuda and the bloody D/L method.
So you need to depend upon some cricket movies like Hattrick etc.
After all in India people have the craze about two things... Bollywood aNd Cricket
If India fails in one, they will burn,cut their posters etc...for a week and then be half normal.

But for this week Indian team is under threat.
For Chappel and other team mates, i suggest that they should buy atleast one burkha for this week or they will have to wear kafan.

Cricket 2005:review

Cricket in the air.
So Cricket 2005 on your PC's
If compared to Cricket 2002 the previous version which i have played.
It is better in graphics,features,add-ons and some better bugs.
Well some new features in the EA Cricket2007 includes Create Player and Twenty Twenty.
But it has someof the things which kick my head off
No crazy hacks and cheats...and even no controls...
They just throw us in the field with a bat and a ball and you have to test yourself how to bat and how to bowl.
I havent hit a six for a year.(PC)
This is the weak point that EA should look after.
Kick ass controls are no-no
EA Cricket 2007(PS2)is up,I have seen it, not played it yet but for PS2 its good as most of the controls are easy because of analog controls.
But who'll bring an analog stick for a keyboard...

India disappoints again

India lost again!

My criticism didnt worked.

69 runs are enough for a shameful defeat.

Indian people have got mad again.

Burning effegies,destroying cricketer's houses continues...now with more rage.

Its now Bermuda who can save India from getting eliminated from the world cup and getting killed in India.

Now lets start betting on Bermuda.

Bermuda vs Bangladesh tommorow.

But if India gets qualified for Super 8(no chance) it will lose again which means that more wood,more fire more desruction and less sleep.

Lets hope for the best.

Todays Matches:-

vs

Australia vs South Africa

vs
England vs Kenya

Finally India has made a record

I could not believe my eyes.

India had won the match against Bermuda (that's believable)

But they had scored their highest and the highest in the world cup a mammoth-413/5

All right they need to shut people's mouth.

But as said they do best when they are critisized. so,

"What has happened to India,Just 413 so cheap, they can't even reach 500...even Bermuda reached...what a shame!!!"

Todays Matches:-

vs

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh

vs

Zimbabwe vs pakistan

Depressed

So India lost the match.
I was soooooooooooo depressed that i could not blog
India was defeated badly by Bangladesh
and the people who burned the fire to pray for their victory are using it to burn their effigies.

Its true and hope India wins now with Bermuda, anyway it will lose against Sri Lanka.

Losing against Sri Lanka might not effect much, but losing against Bermuda might blast the plane in which they'll arive.

So hooohaaa india aaya india

Todays matches:-

vs

India vs Bermuda

vs

West Indies vs Zimbabwe
