Automated bowling devices propel projectiles at variable speeds and trajectories, replicating the dynamics of a live bowler. This allows batters to practice against a range of deliveries, including fast balls, spin, and swing, without requiring a human bowler. For instance, a device might be programmed to deliver off-spin at 70 mph, followed by a yorker at 85 mph.
These devices offer significant advantages for both individual and team training. They facilitate consistent, repetitive practice, enabling batters to hone specific skills. Coaches benefit from the ability to control delivery parameters precisely, creating tailored practice sessions that address individual needs and team strategies. Historically, batting practice relied heavily on human bowlers, limiting the volume and consistency of deliveries. The advent of mechanical bowling simulation has revolutionized cricket training, enhancing both the quality and efficiency of practice sessions.
