Discussion TV Broadcast Graphics - Designs & Discussion

It came into my mind yesterday when Travis Head lopped one to midwicket. It was either a great shot to the boundary or a terrible one straight down a fielder's throat, but it wasn't until the camera moved as the ball landed before you knew that there was no fielder in sight.

Teams regularly move fielders around, particularly in short form cricket like BBL, but you don't get a picture of what's actually happening until the ball is already heading in that particular direction. Surely it wouldn't be too hard to implement with GPS tracking and a small corner of the screen.

They definitely have the ability since the fielding placements including players moving are shown sometimes on the screen.

I guess it’s just about 1 broadcaster putting it as a permanent feature and seeing the viewer feedback. If it’s positive then I can see other doing the same

Perhaps a dumb idea, but has a cricket broadcaster ever experimented with a field placement type of graphic that you see in the corner in computer games like Cricket 26? I think it's the main element of cricket missing when you're watching on TV rather than live at the venue.

I swear I've seen Fox use this graphic at times

It's used sporadically but never shown the full time. ICC broadcasts like the T20 world cups seem to use it a lot more frequently. This is the product: https://www.quidich.com/services/quidich-tracker-qt

7 has shown this sometimes before an over starts with Tests

Just used it twice today.

It’s used to show unique fielding, gaps in the field or a set plan to get a batter out etc

I'd like this to be more subtle, but shown permanently in the corner of the screen rather than only flashed up on occasion.

ATP and Tennis Australia with different graphics. The one above is the world feed.

Looks cleaner without the flags.

Seven used to have separate graphics as with Nine this year

That’s what I was going to say, those 9 graphics seem very similar to what 7 had for the AO when they covered it.

One of other networks have a more transparent version of the field ….and without the Toyota logo….
