MCG plans high-tech camera system for Sheffield Shield cricket

The MCG plans to install advanced camera technology for Sheffield Shield cricket matches this summer. The cameras will measure how much the ball's seam moves during play. They will also monitor the condition of the pitch throughout each match. The MCG could become the first venue to use this technology in domestic cricket. The Sheffield Shield is Australia's top domestic cricket competition. Cricket venues have been adopting more technology in recent years to improve analysis of the game. At least one specialised camera is expected to be installed before the season begins. If the MCG leads the way, other venues may follow and introduce similar systems.
