Indoor cricket may look fast and chaotic, but behind every shot and fielding position lies a fascinating layer of strategy and spatial awareness. In this episode, we explore the hidden geometry that shapes the game. From angles of deflection and rebound shots to the positioning of fielders within enclosed courts, every movement is calculated. We break down how players use angles, walls, and timing to outsmart opponents and maximise scoring opportunities. Whether you are a cricket enthusiast or simply curious about the science and strategy behind sport, this episode reveals how indoor cricket is not just about speed and skill, but also about understanding space, angles, and smart decision making.For more details: https://leisurecity.ymca.org.au/sports/adult-sports/tape-ball-indoor-cricket/
