Removed unsourced and dubious material

[edit]

I removed this unsourced and dubious sounding material by an anonymous editor:

A backyard version of the Snicko was first tested and introduced by Luke Lukess in 1992. Using a small microphone drilled into a cricket stump and a tape recorder recording backyard games, the device was used to adjudicate caught behind decisions.

Similar material had been removed previously in the edit of 20:31, 14 January 2016‎. -- dmmaus (talk) 04:35, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why "Snickometer"?

[edit]

It may be obvious to cricket fans why this technology is called a Snickometer, but curious non-fans drawn to this article for clarification will come up empty. I'm guessing that barely hitting the edge of the ball with a bat might be called a "snick," but the text of the article is not very helpful in that regards. 2600:1700:5B2C:A090:18AC:BBA3:1F1:D88B (talk) 18:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
