I guess this is the first time both of these features ( Dartfish and Ultramotion) are being used in an Indian match by the production team in the recent India - Pak Cricket Series. I dont keep track of other games much, so maybe they are used extensively in other sports, but this Ultramotion cameras capturing 1000 frames/second sure is cool. The dartfish feature even lets compare the run up of two different bowlers, bat swings of different batsmen. So all in all, it adds a whole new dimension while viewing the cricket broadcast on television sets. All these new things only builds more interest while watching a game, especially a test match when things can go a bit boring due to lack of runs or some action. I like it for sure and only hope that this becomes a standard with all the different production teams.

And another thing to look out for is how soon the cricket games on the PC and consoles toy with this feature in the games too or maybe I am thinking too much..
