Very good article! Another under-appreciated thing that the picture-in-picture showing the batsmen would convey is actually showing to the people new to cricket how runs are scored. We take it for granted that it's obvious, but I could imagine if someone just randomly switched on a cricket broadcast and watched for a bit, they would possibly be none the wiser as to why the score is going up :)

Yup fantastic point. You’re right that most fans would take that for granted, but it’s not immediately obvious to a first time viewer.
Thank you very much *fistbump* :)
