What is a "sight screen"?
A sight screen in cricket is a large, flat structure placed beyond the boundary behind the bowler to help the batter see the ball clearly. It is usually white when facing a red ball and black when facing a white ball. The screen prevents distractions from the background, such as moving spectators or advertisements, ensuring that the batter can focus on the ball as it is delivered. Sight screens are often mounted on wheels so they can be moved depending on the bowler's position and the batter's needs.
Example
The cricket ground had a sight screen placed behind the bowler's arm.
The sight screen was adjusted to minimize glare from the setting sun.
