Howizatt? Mr Umpire

THE EDITOR: It’s inevitable! The technology now available is going to be utilised to the max but the question is why wait any longer? The ICC as a matter of urgency must move decisively to address this unacceptable situation.

Whenever in doubt a batsman or bowler must be afforded the opportunity to refer to the third umpire for a final decision. Everyone agrees that the standard of umpiring these days has been way, way below expectations and these questionable decisions will eventually kill the lovely game that is cricket. Players and fans alike are fast becoming frustrated and angry with the nonsense and no one can blame them. Over to you, Messrs ICC.
