Title: Hush Hush Bowling Machine?
Post by: jandgcricket on May 09, 2010, 03:50:14 PM

Just seen the interview with Cook during the break  with Ian Ward at the Essex game.  Talking about Mervyn the bowling machine, however they couldn't talk about a new one?  Any ideas....Anyone else see this as well...

I saw them mention this, but weren't allowed to say what it did or what the name of it was. Sure someone will englighten us...

Is this not the robotic arm they program to replicate any action? Could be wrong but there is only one or two in the world and ECB definitely have one of them

Been down to bola and it's in there as they are based in Bristol as well.....seems they have put alot of r and d into it with the basis of adding to it in the future in terms of programable deliveries etc...I may have said too much and a gorman is on route as we speak!!!
