Channel Nine takes viewers closer to the cricketers

Another innovation from Channel 9:

In a world first for cricket coverage, several Australian players will wear
Global Positioning System vests during next week's Twenty20 international
against New Zealand at the WACA Ground. By doing so, Nine will be able to
telecast data, including players' heart rates, and the distances they cover and
speeds they reach during a match.

The move will advance the link
between Twenty20 cricket and television innovation. Nine has used past Twenty20
internationals to test new technology and ideas, including boundary interviews
with players, which have since been incorporated into Test and one-day
coverage.

I ask, why the sexual discrimination? Include the busty cheers leaders,dammit.
