Cricket Spider Cam

Just seen a dead ball called because the ball hit the camera. I think the batsmen should get five runs for it just as he would it he hit a helmet behind the wicket keeper.

The idea of the 5 runs is it's the fielding teams responsibility to ensure those items are not hit. The fielding side has no responsibility for the camera.

If the tv companies cannot guarantee that their cameras will not interfere with the outcome of a game then they should be banned.

I never thought of it like that.

I dont think its the responsibility of players and bowlers to take care of the camera. It's only the responsibility of the company.
