ABSTRACT
Striking a cricket ball effectively is a complex movement involving many parameters. Measuring the quality of such shots has to date been a purely subjective measure based on visual assessment by an expert observer. Such metrics are prone to errors due to differences in observers, the inability of the human visual system to accurately perceive high-speed motion, and other human factors. It is also not unusual for different batsman to have markedly different batting techniques, which further reduces the accuracy of human assessment.
