RE:all decisions should be 3rd umpire.
by Michael Mammen on Jan 09, 2008 07:22 AM

Perhaps you should check your sources more thoroughly.
1) Technology
Hawkyeye - definitely not accurate - I thought Kumble had his hattrick against Symonds, so did all commentators, but Hawkeye said it was going miles over the top. It clearly can't pick up variations in bounce as a pitch deteriorates.

Snicko - unreliable as it only detects noise. Who will determine if the noise was bat on ball, bat on pad, bat on ground, ball on pad, a bat handle creaking, etc...?

The only guaranteed one is the thermal image hotspot. But only useful in some contexts.

2) Australia
Yes, clearly Australia are not the best team when they have won consistently against every country at home and away for the last 15 years and have won the last 3 world cups in South Africa, England and the West Indies.

How about everyone in the world commits to their own team improving its sportsmanship - that might achieve something useful.
