Jofra Archer proposes crowd simulation to cheer up the empty stadiums live cricket score
Jofra Archer, England cricketer thinks that playing the game in front of empty stands is going to be a difficult prospect for the players when cricket eventually resumes play. All cricket events were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic which hit the whole world.
Authorities are doing their best to restart the game and have mooted the possibility of playing behind closed doors. Archer claims the players would find it difficult not to have fans cheering for them.
Archer wrote for the Daily Mail in his column, “Yeah, it’s going to be difficult to play without supporters in a stadium but I understand that things need to start that way because we won’t be able to test every fan who wants to get to the stadium.”
He pointed out in the article, “While the crowd is an aspect that we can figure out later, I think it’s going to be one of those things that you won’t realize until it disappears. Take it off and we’re going to know how important the supporters mean to us, “
The winner of the England World Cup even proposed an idea to make players feel at home without supporters in the stadiums. He said that speakers could be used to mimic crowd interaction and create an atmosphere that is familiar to players on the field.
Archer wrote in the column, “Playing in complete silence would take some to get used to, I’d imagine, so I believe that playing some music, some crowd simulations, anything to build an atmosphere could be useful.”
He further explained his idea, “If we have to play in the empty stands, we can play some cheers and clap sounds when the cricketer hits the ball for four, or falls a wicket , this is the best way.”
Lastly, he wrote, “There are the little details that make it as natural as possible, even though it’s not going to be a regular occasion. But it’s got to the point where I just don’t really care more than playing right now.”
