How the speed of the ball is measured during the cricket match?

Answer 1

Here is how to calculate the speed:

1. Start with the number 20.12 (that is the length of a pitch used in international cricket, so i recommend that you take the distance of your own pitch in meters)
2. Divide it by the number of seconds the ball takes to reach the wicket at the striker end from the moment it left your palm from the non striker end. Use a stopwatch
3. Alternately, you can divide it by the number of mini seconds the ball takes to reach the wicket at the striker end from the moment it left your palm from the non striker end, multiply the result by 18, then divide the answer by 5. That will give you the answer in km/h.

That is an accurate method of calculating your Bowling speed if you don't have a radar gun, a speed gun (which if you buy, you will get more accurate and consistent results) or a speed ball, which comes cheap and measures your speed when you are bowling with it.

If you want to get your speed in miles per hour,divide your answer above by 1.6.
