New Electra Stumps Lighting up the Cricket World
In the modern era, technology has become a crucial part of cricket, and the Decision Review System (DRS) has become a popular tool for referees to review their decisions. From Snicko Meter to the latest timer introduced by the ICC, a lot of technology is being used to provide accurate results in cricket. The latest addition to this line of technological advancements is the introduction of the Electra Stumps, which has fans buzzing.
The journey of technological advancements in cricket began with the introduction of zinc bales by the Australian board during the Big Bash series in 2012. The purpose of these innovations is to attract fans and provide a clearer understanding of where the ball hits the stumps.
The Electra Stumps have been a game-changer since their introduction. The stumps, equipped with improved electric lights, have been well received and were adopted by the ICC. These stumps have been used in all types of tournaments since 2014 and have now made their way into the ongoing Big Bash series.
The revolutionary Electra Stumps have five different types of lights that light up and give signals during various pivotal moments of the game. When the ball hits the stumps, the red and fiery colors light up to signal the event. Similarly, when the batsmen hit a boundary, the stumps light up in different colors like green and purple, providing a clear signal.
The introduction of these high-tech stumps comes at a time when there has been controversy around on-field umpires overlooking bowlers throwing no-balls. The stumps now use sensors to detect bowlers bowling no-balls and immediately trigger a signal on the stadium loudspeaker, helping rectify this problem.
With the ability to accurately signal a range of events, these stumps are designed to keep fans engaged and informed about what is happening on the field, even from a distance. If successful, it is expected that they will soon be seen in international cricket as well. The introduction of the Electra Stumps marks a new chapter in the integration of technology into cricket, providing fans with a more interactive and informative experience.
