Hot Spot inventor calls for removal of coating on bats
Print Edition
Protective coating should be removed from cricket bats for Hot Spot to achieve “optimum” results, the technology’s inventor has said.
The current Ashes series between England and Australia has been blighted by a string of contentious decisions, with Hot Spot’s thermal-imaging cameras appearing not to detect some edges behind.
Warren Brennan, the managing director of the firm which owns Hot Spot, carried out internal testing and said has achieved “conclusive findings.”
“The type and thickness of the protective coating unquestionably affects the thermal signature of the Hot Spot system,” BBG Sports said in a statement released on Friday.
“BBG Sports believes that in order to achieve optimum Hot Spot results, then the removal of protective coating from bats edges needs to occur.”
Meanwhile, Australia, replying to England’s first-innings 238, was 148-4 at tea on Day 2 of the fourth test yesterday.
