5 things that make cricket viewers want to break their TV sets

2. Delays in Sight Screen adjustment

How often have we seen a policeman, or some other stadium staff walk in front of the sight screen just as the ball is about to be delivered? This has to be one of the most infuriating things as a batsman, and as a viewer, you wonder whether that couldn’t have been avoided. Obviously, it can be avoided. All it takes, is a little bit of enlightening of the security personnel and other ground staff, letting them know that it is disturbing for a batsman, and that it shouldn’t be done. Apart from troubling the batsman, the bowlers also are frustrated, because a batsman invariably pulls out of the delivery if such a thing happens, and that is the last thing a bowler would want after coming off a reasonable run-up, especially if the conditions are hot and humid.
