Harold Larwood vs Brett Lee speed test ...who was the fastest?

[Music] the real deep [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] I mean some archived footage of Larwood to see if he can help me work out his actual speed so I know what I'm gonna face look fast hits the crease hard as most short guys would yeah fast runner even though it's doesn't actually look that long there reason the big stride length he looks like he has long arm right Hannah hair time how am I gonna find out how fast he's actually gone I think from from the image if it's framed the same we can work out time and also a distance measure and again the big issue is if you had those we're not perpendicular to the flight of the ball so there will be some error I was out of plane so we're trying to measure a 3d and angle from a 2d image so the time a distance and maybe more of a site on angrily something that we really make that tiny a few issues really good luck I wonder if there's someone who can pull apart and manipulate the footage of our would it help me determine his actual bowling speed things we can do penis is using the different angles you've got start to build up a 3d space please two great landmark still at the other label some Peter's Cathedral on our back right yeah yeah as well as the small bowl in which Boehner time sire I've got a satellite imagery of the car died and laid out some it is yes I've just kind of matched this sense of place so we're in exactly the same spot as that camera was on the field so if we do that across several cameras we'll really be able to get an idea the whole field and never have to talk down about wherever you want revelation anything I Mac I'm extremely optimistic about fighting you might do good like her face apparently had a bit of luck and analyzing the law with footage so that marks plus stuff flaunting it hath lost the grant met involved so he's lowered his bowling action from here we pull out see the rest of the stadium yeah yeah so now taking a camera back down to the side view and a lot would rewind above that so this is just basically the dimensions of the pitch we've got crease decrease and the same point six eight meters and we get to wicket since the release point and that's basically the overall trajectory so from that you should be able to get a pretty food making them in containers in the park just how facile that cricket will be traveling when I face it so I catch up with Wayne from the Australian Institute of Sport so why did you get a chance to have a look at the 3d treatment of love with bowling really really cold feet tall another thing cool evening ball speed was 134 143 [Music] they thought he would have had to fit them pretty short get it out there I think you were telling very special on a good day he could have got up there you never know you couldn't touch 159 yeah that it was 147 supposable when he threw the ball into our 50s which is quick as anyone anyone follows or has ball really that's great thanks mate
