What is UNISYS?

[Knight87]

Just looking through some old cricket games from the past, and I've noticed on the Channel 9 coverage, everynow and then, there would be this icon called "UNISYS" that kept popping up (like, when they showed scorecards, bowling figures of bowlers etc.)? What on earth is/was this? I think it stopped in the 1996/97 season.

They're an aussie IT company, they probably integrated all the statistics for the tv station and were rewarded with a bit of ad space.

This is correct. UNISYS did the original stats.

notice how it changed in 1996/97, the score before that season used to be shown on the top left hand corner, then it changed to the bottom corner and was only shown when runs were scored.

Then it changed in 2000, back to the top left corner and was shown the whole time, still has.

I love watching all those classic matches during the breaks in the Ford Ranger Cup.

For the matches from the early 90's onwards, it brings back memories.
