Frogbox: Capturing club cricket’s special moments

by Wisden Staff 2 minute read

By now, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen this bit of club cricket magic: when Asif Ali of Illingworth St. Mary’s CC swung from the hip for six – only to smash his own car windscreen!

Capturing the viral moment was FrogBox, an automated live streaming service that has helped cricket clubs across the UK, Australia and Europe broadcast their own matches and reach millions since 2019.

The live streaming service is integrated with ECB’s Play-Cricket platform and thanks to a portable FrogBox kit – which includes a camera, mast, battery pack and everything you need for your broadcast – people from anywhere in the world can tune in on Play-Cricket.com or the Play-Cricket Live app to watch the action.

The easy streaming solution can help your recreational club capture special moments and raise its profile too. Beyond Asif’s famous six, FrogBox has helped capture a number of extraordinary moments – from former England player Arran Brindle sharing a partnership with her son to the first cricket match played between two wholly inclusive LGBTQ+ cricket clubs.
