The app
Four screens. One honest coach.
These are real screens analyzing a real evening session — not mockups. The film above shows what the AI sees; the screens below show what the player learns.
Howzat reads a single phone clip of your bowling — speed, line & length, release mechanics — and answers with the kind of coaching plan that usually costs $150 an hour. No sensors. No lab. Just cricket.

I tested Howzat on year-old clips that my coach in Australia had already analyzed. It found the same issues he did: my front-knee brace and my head alignment. That kind of analysis takes a coach hours. Every young fast bowler should have this.
Filmed in Australia a year earlier — pulled from his own archive, not staged for us.
His coach had already studied that footage. Ayan kept the diagnosis to himself.
Howzat named the front-knee brace and the head alignment — unprompted.
The data that was published matched my visual feedback for the bowler, which gave me great confidence when discussing it with the player.
MotionIQ puts pathway-grade analysis in the hands of the club coach, and that is a more significant thing than the technology itself.
So I use one built for golfers… over an hour of work after a session, using a tool made for a different sport, because nothing exists for mine. MotionIQ did that in minutes, and in cricket's terms.
Excellent shoulder–hip separation — measured ~45° at release with very high confidence. This is a key engine of fast-bowling speed.⛓ grounded in shoulder_hip_separation

Howzat's camera-first engine is joined by the industry's deepest sensor-based biomechanics platform — and tested where cricket lives: in academies.

Testing since Aug ’26Founding Academy partner. Head coach Marty Kain — ICC Level 2, NZC Level 2, twenty years in the game — is running his own bowlers through Howzat ahead of launch.
Founding academyECB Level 3 coaching, with players developed all the way to England U19. Fifty registered juniors lined up for Howzat across the 2026–27 indoor season.
Founding academyHead Coach for Cricket Saliya Ahangama reviewed Howzat's reports on his own squad — and his feedback shipped: plainer, coach-first language is now the default.
Pilot underwayCricket in America is growing faster than the support around it. A family buys a first bat and a first kit — and then has nowhere to turn for the part that actually decides whether a young player improves: the technique. From launch, Kaziranga hands them both across the same counter — the kit, and the coach.
Our first user was our founder. Five weeks after breaking a finger on his bowling hand, he captained his squad in England — and came home Best Bowler of the series.

Howzat reads the delivery from your phone. Next it reads the wrist that bowled it — an Apple Watch on the bowling arm, detecting each release and lining its motion up against the same clip, second by second. Built and running today. Not in the October beta — this is where we go after it.
Recreated from the HowzatWatch build running in the watchOS Simulator — same screens, same colours, same words. Wrist proxies, not ball revolutions, and simulated readings say so on the watch face. A number we can't stand behind doesn't get shown — on the phone or on the wrist.
A camera watches the ball leave the hand. The wrist knows how it was sent. Put them together and the half of cricket a phone alone struggles with — spin — comes into view.
The watch already on the bowler's arm becomes the second instrument. That has always been the rule here: elite-grade analysis out of the gear a family already owns.
Wrist fusion is the foundation of a deeper, connected Pro tier — more signal for the bowler who wants it, without raising the price of the phone-only app everyone starts on.
America's next generation of cricketers is training right now — most without access to elite coaching. Howzat puts a proper coach in every pocket, two years before the world's biggest stage comes home.
