Things we need this century that we didn't in the last

If I were a manufacturer of cricket gear, I'd be working on a heat-resistant or frictionless bat tape that could be applied to the edges as normal but that doesn't show any contact under Hotspot.

And I wouldn't be telling anyone about it, either...

    You devious old devil, OB. This is cricket as Cold War, an escalating technological battle.

    Dash it, sir! They've come to watch me bat, not you umpire!

    (And a very sneaky bit of thinking, if we may say so, too :D)

    Cunning idea... but won't we need to deafen "Snicko" at the same time ?
