Two leaders in their field have joined forces to help improve cricket in England. Coaching company Mavericks Cricket, owned by international coach, Ian Pont and miSport, makers of the revolutionary Pitch Vision ball tracking system, announced a tie-up today. The result is a world-class cricket coaching method for helping players improve faster.

The Pitch Vision system allows coaches and players to measure a number of vital indicators, including ball speed, movement, swing, feet patterning and where the ball is hit. Mavericks Cricket is exclusively using this technology at its new cricket institute, MCI and at workshops, academies and coaching sessions.

Ian Pont, CEO of the MCI said, ‘’We offer advanced, unique coaching and Pitch Vision is an advanced, unique measurement system. It’s a perfect match. The ball tracking system is ideal to measure what’s going on in practice. It allows us to capture either simple or highly advanced data, show it on a screen or mobile phone, then upload it to the Internet to manage a player’s statistics, sessions and training outcomes.’’

Richard Welch, CEO of miSport added, ‘’All new Pitch Vision technologies will be first unveiled at the Mavericks Cricket Institute with the world standard Mavericks Coaching team providing expert input to product features and data analysis techniques. The partnership puts MCI at the very cutting edge of cricket coaching methods, and should make sites like Loughborough have to work harder for its status as the global hub of Cricket Technology.’’

Ian Pont has today also joined the PitchVision “miCoach” coaching panel, joining long time ex-Harrowdrive stalwart David Hinchliffe in running the world’s premier on-line coaching site at www.PitchVision.com. Ian joins the miCricketCoach coaching panel as the first of its specialist on-line coaches, and will be working with the PitchVision team to develop exclusive on-Line Coaching & interactive learning courses to be sold through PitchVision Academy site.

‘’It’s a good resource for cricket players, fans and coaches’’, said Pont. ‘’miSport is a proactive company with some excellent products. I am looking forward to helping create new and innovative developments for cricket in this country.’’
