Challenges for umpire decisions

[ZoraxDoom]

The only thing they need to implement is Umpires having headphones connected to the stump microphone.

i agree with you rahul...but one thing we should not forget....that after all they are humans...and they dont get any reply or any sort of technology...to review your decision



They have to first look down at bolwers foot mark for no ball
And then have to follow the ball

When a bolwer is bolwing at 150kph its realy difficult...

Well if its that difficult and it may be, I don't deny it, then why not use the technological innovations and make their job a little easier. They are humans and they make mistakes but mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing wrong in correcting mistakes. You are only making the game little bit error free.

Its a good idea but have you ever thought how irritating it will be for the umpire to hear constant chattering by the wicketkeepers when they stand upto the stumps while facing the slow bowlers?

ofcourse, it can be turned off when necessary but still can be distracting.

As long as we have neutral umpires, its fine!

Yeah that's there but what about umpires who have grudges against a particular neutral team (Hair->Pakistan) (Bucknor->India)??

They'd most likely hear that chattering anyway, plus the wickie doesn't do it during the delivery, or shouldn't do

hearing the chattering on the field without headphones is different than listening to it constantly with headphones ON

At least they still won't understand what the hell all the chattering is about.

Hey, the Chattering is part of cricket. it would entertain the Umpire if anything!

Hair was very very loose on wides today. He let 2 or 3 down the leg side slide.

I'd like to add that if you go on an Umpire course, you learn one very important thing. On a Cricket field, the Umpire is ALWAYS right. It's law. Annoying for players isn't it?

True........once the umpire makes his decision.......like if he is out then he is out.....no complaints and get on with the game.

Since the Ashes up until now, the quality of Umpire decisions has been pathetic,
even the best Umpires are making unusual mistakes, still, I'd prefer the system to
remain the same as it is now.

Mr.Cricket himself (Richie Benaud) came up with a decent solution whilst commentating
the South Africa Vs Australia test matches... better training for the Umpires and better
filtering of Umpires.

Half of the problem would be solved in the Aussie series if they let Simon Taufel umpire. He's rightly rated so highly that I can't see any of the nations objecting to him doing Aussie games, as he'd probably get a lot of decisions right, and would not fall to the pressure of Warne & Co.
