ICC’s latest tryst with new  technologies has sparked a sudden interest in this new idea adapted from  the KFC Big Bash down under. Spectators were hoping to see it <a href="http://www.sportskeeda.com/tournament/ipl/" target="_blank">in the IPL last summer</a>  after the Big Bash implemented it in the 2013 season. It now seems like  ICC is one step ahead of the lot when it comes to implementing new  technologies. Like with all other technologies, the LED bails have also  had its share of controversy. Cricket’s apex body will be hoping that unlike DRS, the LED zing  bails will provide a new leash of life to its controversial technology  adaptations. In this year’s Big Bash, a curious incident had raised the  eyebrows of a few veterans of the game. In the match between Melbourne stars and Sydney Thunders, Tillakaratne Dilshan tried dislodging the bails <a href="http://www.sportskeeda.com/player/dj-hussey/" target="_blank">to get David Hussey run out</a> at the non-striker’s <a href="http://www.sportskeeda.com/player/brad-hodge/" target="_blank">end after Brad Hodge hit the</a>  ball straight across to the bowler. To everyone’s surprise, the bails  fell back to their position after getting dislodged while flashing the  lights. Apparently, the LED bails are heavier than the normal wooden bails  used, but are lighter than the ones used during windy conditions.  Barring this incident, nothing else has been reported against the zing  bails. It needs to be seen if any more untoward incidents of this sort  gets repeated in the ongoing World Cup. The wickets having the LED’s glow on the slightest impact, and the  bails send the radio signals to the stumps which glows immediately on  impact. The high tech bails are marketed as “Zings” by an Australian  tech firm and gone are the days when cricketers could walk away with the  bails as a souvenir of  the match. The bails cost around 40,000 USD, and apart from the aesthetics of  seeing the bails glow on the slightest impact, is a boon for umpires  while making close calls during stumpings and tight run-outs. It needs  to be seen whether these bails will make their debut in the IPL next  month.<a href="http://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/lights-bails-out-iccs-tryst-with-led-zing-bails/" target="_blank">http://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/lights-bails-out-iccs-tryst-with-led-zing-bails/</a></blockquote>
