- "For basic line decisions, like no-balls and run outs, you must have a laser or something like that. Something like what you have in tennis to decide serves.
- "You can call it (a no-ball) with a machine."
- Tendulkar said bat-pad decisions can be made using television X-ray technology called "hot spots" which clearly illustrates the first point of contact of the ball - either pad or bat.
- "They should use the hot spot for bat-pad decisions, so the main umpire has to make only the leg-before calls," he said. "I'm quite happy with the hot spot because that establishes the contact.
- "For caught behind and all, the hot spot will come. Close-in catches, again the hot spot will come. You don't need a machine for clean bowled, so only the leg-before decisions is what the umpire has to concentrate on."
Leave only lbws to umpires: Tendulkar
Pretty much agree with everything he mentioned. I've always thought the no ball sensor would be a good one, good to see Tendulkar mentioning it. I still would like the 3rd umpire to assist with LBW, don't use hawkeye projection but still keep the impact zone and from the point of impact the 3rd umpire can get a fair indication on whether the ball will hit or not.
