Ok, the trigger for this was the recent dismal performance by the Indian cricket team in England.
I know that we keep giving excuses like - our players are not used these conditions, the swing off the pitch, the movement in the air etc.
My idea is to resolve this by using a combination of 'special' type of cricket balls and some simple wind generators in the practice wickets. For example,
- The special ball could be constituted in such a way that it behaves differently that a normal ball and simulates "movement" off the pitch. It can probably have different weights on both the halves.
- The wind generator could be a simple instrument placed on the sides of the practice wicket such that it simulates the ball movement in the air. I think it should be very cheap to make and deploy...
Anyone listening?! :)
