This is an interesting piece of cricket equipment, one of my math lecturers didn't make it into the team that produced the snickometer, but briefly described it as alot of trigonometry on its side. She did however make it into the team which produced the ball tracing, a red line which could estimate the balls journey and determine, as it leaves the bowlers hand, past the batsman and through to the hands of the keeper, if it was going to hit the wickets and there fore be given out lbw. This tracer came about only due to Shane Warne's unique leg spin bowling technique which has collected many wickets over the years. I find this to be an interesting achievement, also the fact I had no idea math had so many different applications.
