9 to bring in more technology
January 11, 2006Cricket coverage may be better than ever before. Nine’s director of sport, Steve Crawley says:
Our ultimate goal is to have the best cricket coverage in the world for the Ashes next year. We are working on technology that has never been seen before - some of it will come through, some of it won’t. We’re spending a lot of time on this. That’s how big the Ashes are to us. There’s scientific stuff with ball paths and a camera that shows heat off the ball. Real CSI stuff. It might come off. But at the end of the day, you can have all the cameras in the world, but it’s really about people. We’re trying new things for the one-dayers this summer. We want to highlight the player in a way that hasn’t been done before.
