The IT support systems for TV cricket commentary

[blackcat]

does anyone know the statistics IT providers who gave GT9 all their backroom support in the Packer WSC days and since then? Invariably they were Brit firms

Dunn & Bradstreet
Olivetti
Coopers & Lybrand
Hewlett Packard (not sure on this <???>)
Infosys
(I dont think Ericsson ever lent their business cricket's way)

I remember seeing Burroughs and later Unisys (after the merger) logos on scorecards in the early '80's

UNISYS?

I conflated Infosys I think, or I was right. I had to really dive into whipper snapper archives, I can just remember Dunn&Bradstreet and Coopers&Lybrand before they ever meant a thing to me. They coulda been Tony Greig's weather vane for all I knew.
