Every match at an ICC cricket event is covered by some 27 to 30 cameras. These

include a wide variety of cameras -
1. High-end Cameras: These are placed beyond the boundary, with camera
crews that are ready to zoom in and pick out the most exciting moments.
Some of these cameras trained at the cricketers are ultra motion cameras.
These are essentially high-speed cameras that allow you to shoot a slow-
motion clip of objects moving very quickly without losing focus or clarity. It
also telecasts in HD quality.
There are also fixed cameras to watch the stumps, the pitch, and at some other

I was lucky to observe the broadcasting team work for a state level cricket match.
For boradcast some general placing of cameras are:
A camera right below the sightscreen which is direct in line to the stumps is placed.
This camera is at both ends and doesnt move apart from focusing at the stumps. This
gives the direct view of play and is useful in lbw decisions, caught behind etc.
Cameras perpendicular to the stumps are also placed in both directions which also do
not move even for a degree. They are used for stumping, run outs and short runs.
Apart from these, there are some high rise cameras as… (more)

The production will be among the most sophisticated ever too, with 28 cameras,
including seven ultra-motion cameras, Spidercam as well as graphics with key
analytics, all of which will take the viewer right to the heart of the action.
The control room is where the story of a cricket match is written for anyone who
isn't at the ground. The director is the narrator, and along with the producer, who
sits in the commentary box, he crafts the story that the world sees.

How is it decided that feed from which camera angle should be telecasted
at which moment in a live cricket match?
Feed from all the cameras are shown simultaneously at the processing room,
depending on which has the best ball position, the view is chosen. Time taken to do
this is the time live match is also deferred from a couple of seconds apart from the
signal transmission time.
After a particular delivery is bowled, we have more time for replays.
Also, there are options to play videos from a particular camera of last couple of
minutes, so if you know which camera replay you have to play, it only takes a button
press (as in case of delivery hit for boundary or one taking a wicket).

How does cricket coverage for television work? How do they switch
cameras quickly so that we always see the ball?
They don't. They usually take the one camera behind the bowler to track the ball.
Which is why when sometimes a bad batsman swings heavily and it takes an edge, the
camera guy will instinctively follow the path the ball Should have taken, while actually
the ball would've taken an edge and gone elsewhere.
Only during replays and in between balls do they show multiple angles. That is very
simple. A person with multiple monitors showing all the camera feeds will be watching
to decide which of those will be relayed live to the televisions. And that is fairly easy as
it can be decided by a flick of … (more)

The Spidercam operates with four motorized winches positioned at each corner at the
base of the covered area, each of which controls a Kevlar cable connected to a
gyro-stabilized camera-carrier, or dolly. By controlling the winding and unwinding
of the cables, the system allows the dolly to reach any position in the three-
dimensional space.
The inputs of the Spidercam "pilot" are processed by software which forwards the

What camera models and lenses are used to cover a cricket match?
Actually the precious answerer is wrong on one point. DSLRs are certainly used by
professional photographers to capture top quality still images at cricket matches.
Just about any modern DSLR will do the job. The distance of the action from the
boundary means that a very long lens (at least 600mm focal length) is needed and,
with such a long lens, a sturdy tripod is essential too.

2. In today's cricket you have to elimate all chances of cheating, often we see catched
