The Biomechanics of Converting Torque into Spin Rate in Spin Bowlers Analyzed with a Smart Cricket Ball

Abstract Background In previous studies that analyzed the biomechanics of spin bowling with a smart cricket ball, it was evident not all torque applied to ball converted into rate, varying losses among different bowlers. This study aims investigate factors contributing these losses. Methods Developed in 2011, world's first intelligent features five physical and skill performance parameters. Our correlates parameters ratio total rate determine most influential parameter. Results The parameter affected conversion maximum angular acceleration velocity. Since unit latter is measured s –1 or Hz, we hypothesized duration time-window which generated could be factor determining effectiveness conversion. Upon closer examination data, discovered (the component boosts rate) earlier relation release point led greater rate. Paradoxically, this occurred at smaller peak torques. As widens despite its decreasing magnitude, impulse increases. Conclusions calculated from velocity well during generated, can serve as good indicator skillful conversion, potential for talent identification.
