Problem: As a batsman picking deliveries from a bowlers hand requires tremendous focus and can be challenging while dealing with other factors such as fielders, batting stance and score.
Solution: For those new to the game or looking to sharpen their reflexes this app shows an image from a Batsman’s point of view and the user has to tap the delivery name. By building muscle memory of the different deliveries batsmen can react faster in the match.
Steps:
- Gathered pictures of common spin and pace deliveries and create an array with their names.
- Created basic HTML page with a timer, the image, button to toggle between spin and pace, and buttons for choosing the delivery name.
- Used JavaScript to change image if the correct button is pressed and keep track of time and a counter of number of correct and incorrect selections.
Next Steps:
- Clean up look with bootstrap
- Add two other modes where the user has to match deliveries to an image of the ball path, and deliveries with batting position (front foot, defense, backfoot).
