From the creator

Journey into a cricketer's mind with Australian neuroscientist Jonathan Webb and Head Squeeze. When action potentials in the brain telling the the limbs to move work at only twice the speed of an incoming cricket ball, how exactly are top cricketers able to predict how the ball will bounce? Through the use of brain scanning, sensory deprivation and head mounted cameras, scientists have been able to extrapolate what sets brilliant batsman apart from those who are merely good. All is revealed in this fascinating Science Guide cricket special.
