This article seemed as if GPT-3 had written it: the article is coherent as a whole, but somewhat meaningless in particular areas.

Yes exactly this is not written by a human. It doesn't make sense.

> Data transfer from the bat to broadcasters for on-time analysis requires transfer speed equals to speed of light.

Oh dear this author does not seem to understand a few things.

Probably not within the awareness of the author, but he's kind of right as data transfer happens at the medium's material specific speed of light. I wouldn't call it a requirement, though. :^)

It was written by a machine

Surely you wouldn't be referring to usb 3.0 data transfer ;) Mate this is not about that data transfer. There are sensors burried behind the stumps to detect the contact of the ball with the bat. Whereas, cameras are dectecting the release of ball with time synchronisation.

The ball speed is calculated dividing the distance by the time. If the time was 3 seconds, the average speed will be 60/3 = 20 feet per second (6.1 m/sec). Of course this is only the average ball speed, the speed of the ball at the time of release would be greater.

"AI meant to select superstars in computer science selects for computer scientists mostly likely to give implement AI in positions of power"

Nice, this will just reinforce whatever bias the AI has, polluting its data with its choices.

Probably ruining a few careers along the way.

So, moneyball?

if you had included "Cricket" in the title, I would've known this wasn't worth clicking on

Second. I regularly laugh with my friends at how different subsets of the group dominate the conversation depending on the subject. Cricket has a few fanatic followers, and the rest of us quickly tune out.

Recommend using the article's own title: Artificial Intelligence in Cricket is a Significant Prediction Strategy for Player’s Luck Assessment

A few fanatic followers? Try 2.5B followers. It’s the second most popular sport in the world: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-most-popula...

But first in India

No doubt, Cricket is in the DNA of the people of subcontinent

Those are not global statistics. It's mostly popular in common wealth countries and is mostly unheard of being done outside.

The large amount of users come from a single country (India) and thus you cannot really say it's popular globally.

How?
