Top 10 changes in cricket in the past decade

#6. LED Stumps

LED stumps are an interesting innovation that came into cricket this decade

Be it covered pitches, colored clothing, white balls, or cricket under lights, the Australians have been at the forefront of most cricketing innovations. Just when the world thought there couldn't be any more innovations from Down Under, they pulled another one out of the hat by bringing in LED stumps in the 2012 edition of the Big Bash League.

Soon, this innovation gained steam and it was adopted across all major T20 franchise leagues the world over. The ICC got these stumps into the cricketing mainstream as well, using them at the 2014 World T20 tournament.

These stumps solve an otherwise tricky problem that occurs when the bails are dislodged off a conventional set of stumps. At times, it becomes difficult to identify the exact moment when the bails come off the grove. However, given that these stumps and bails glow at the slightest contact with the ball, run-out and stumping decisions have become much easier for the third umpire.
