No there won't.
Good development. Science > 2D arm armchair TV experts. Looking forward to it.

So, if real time results can be produced, would you want every ball over 15 degrees no-balled? Probably the only way it can work, isn't it?

If it's that quick (and not analysed at the end of the day), it'd be ideal. Just like overstepping - immediate no ball.

Yeah I reckon that's the way to do it. uvelocity is right though about different ways of measuring throwing - can you pick up hyperextension with just two sensors? Maybe you can, I don't know.
Will be as much of a political football as udrs so we probably won't see it until 2020.

I know the article says otherwise, but I'm sure if it can measure the flex, it can also measure the straightening and hopefully that's what is used.

Seems a pretty sound concept, though I have no doubts at all it's going to dish out some surprises.

I honestly don't think it's going to reach this point for a while. Far too complex for an automated system. It'll be a tool for the match referee/some other official to use and keep tabs on, and warnings etc can be handed out on when he/she thinks the evidence against the "bowler" is damning enough.

just saw 'the back page' on fox and some of the crap which passed for comment from robert craddock was amazing. you couldn't blame anyone who relied on his analysis for being completely wrong. surely 'Australia's premier cricket writer who has covered the sport for more than 20 years' should have a better idea....
sample 1) "with this device there will never be another murali!"
sample 2) "what they have been doing is in the matches guys do this (makes chucking motion) then they get tested in a lab where they just go woop woop and get cleared (makes bowling action)
all the while billy birmingham (comedian!) is trying to get a word in edgewise regarding the fact that murali can't straighten his arm!

Hopefully this clears players we have permanently bent arms, but aren't doing any addition flexing. Bowlers aren't judged by the 2-D perception of their actions.
Though I'm sure when science clears these bowlers again, people will always complain if they look like their are visually throwing. It will be a never ending argument. Science over physical appearance.
