Cricket Ball with Inbuilt Speedometer Technology for Live Speed Measurement
A cricket ball has been developed which can measure its own speed and display the ball speed measurement on the tiny LCD screen on one side, it also comes with a inbuilt long lasting battery. Until now radar guns have been used to measure the bowling speeds of bowler and there’s always been a curiosity among the cricket fans in deciding the “world’s faster bowler “, with the new Speedsensor measuring technology inside the ball itself it might become possible to get the accurate speed measurement and thereby giving the crown to the one who deserves it.
How it works:
The inbuilt Speedsensor measures the speed of bowl between the time when it first gets released from the bowler hand and until it hits something(preferably nets) whereas the Radar gun reads out the speed between the point when the bowl gets released from bowlers hand and strikes the pitch.
Well the ball in question is not for actual cricket its just meant for measurement purposes, the manufacturers claim that the ball sensors could get damaged if hit hard directly by the cricket bat so its only meant for measuing speeds on the nets only.
It comes with a three year battery life with price tag of US $45( around Rs 1800)
Cool technology . In the future, we might have that type of ball in real use
I guess if it comes to Dhoni or Sehwag, the speedometer would be damaged.

@Arpan
Measuring the speed of bat is more easy as sensor can be easily installed inside body of bat.. but speed of bat is not necessary
its really amazin to have this kind of technology…….but the question is where can we purchase this ball
