Neutral Umpiring or what?
by B Hayer on Nov 20, 2007 12:54 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I will like to think that giving Yuvi was human error. But why all the error happend in this match went agains India. Three Pak players were out LBW were given not out and one Indian was out and given out and one was not out and given out.

I don't think we only need to blame the umpire. I think it is the rule of the 50-50. Rule should be made that every team have three two chances to appeal any decision. If you win the appeal you still keep the two appeals in tact and if you loose the appeal you loose your first appeal and so on. We have the technology and we need to use it. Second part I don%u2019t like is that you have to appeal to have decision for out. There should not be any appealing unless against the decision. If some body is out it should be automatic given by ump with out any body appealing. In one of the matches played in Pak I was watching and Michael Holding also pointed out as commentator that why bowlers are fined for not looking at the umpire when out is obvious and most of the time umpire don%u2019t even have common courtesy to say not out when player is appealing or asking.
