Umpires apprehensive about new no-ball rule

[ricky123]

AMSTERDAM, Aug 21: Steve Bucknor and David Shepherd, the two longest-serving umpires in international cricket, are apprehensive about the new no-ball rule that will come into play in the tri-series here.

According to the experimental rule, the no-ball calls will be made by the third umpire sitting in the box beyond the boundary rather then the two men in white coats, supervising the game in the middle.

i think its better it gives the 1st umpire more time for the lbw and other decisions

you right mate :

 

[hassan1823]

i saw the use of it in the match

B) r u stupid or what ,

this game is for players not for umpires ,

just to give umpires more time to concentrate on lbw ,they r taking away the time from a batsman ,

now the batsman will only know that it is a no ball after the third umpire has confirmed ,

according to the previous rules ,the batsman had the benefit of hitting the ball where ever he want once the umpire had called it no ball ,

Batsmen never get a chance to hear the no-ball call early enough to make full use of it,even in the traditional system. :mellow:

B) that applies only for fast bowlers like brett lee and shoiab .

but when a slower bowler is bowling ,the batsman had enough time to decide what to do with the ball ,

this new rule sucks

 

[hassan1823]

yes ricky may be you are right. I think it should be not used anymore.There is no advantage for batsmen <_<

 

[ricky123]

B) this rule is only for this tournament , they r trying to see how it works


but our commentators have already said this rule is crap ,

 

[hassan1823]

i know it is crap

i agree... this will make umps LAZIER too i think... Not to mention the return crease issue... the 3rd ump won't b able to see if the bowler's crossin the return crease.

 

[hassan1823]

i think they only used for that tournament and theyw wont use it again
