Cricket team preps for World Cup with iPods

by Dave Caolo Mar 14th 2007 at 7:00AM

We've seen iPods used to help major league baseball players improve their swings, and medical students enhance their stethoscope skills. Now, England's Cricket team has adopted the little players as well.

Players have been reviewing bowling actions - both their own as well as their competitors' - on video iPods in preparation for big matches. Rueters describes player Liam Plunkett as being "...glued to the tiny iPod screen..." as he watches the training videos.

I imagine the practice of watching film is much more pleasant when you can do it whenever and where ever you wish.

"Those English are gonna need all the help they can get..."

Unfortunately, as an Englishman, I have to agree with that.

I hope that they don't take them on the field instead of their boxes! I thought that ipods were used for a different type of swing. Seriously though I would think the screen would be too small for this type of analysis
