Cricket, at times, is slowly is losing its shine because of these inconsistencies and unnecessary controversies !!!!

The main problem with allowing every decision to be appealed and reviewed conclusively is that “snickometer” requires a fair bit of time before it can provide a conclusive response. For example, in yesterdays’ match, the “snicko” effect on the Ponting “caught behind” was shown a full 3 overs (some 12 minutes) after the incident. I do not quite know the technology that is being used, but I suspect that there is a fair bit of manual filtering and noise removal going on before the evidence can be presented and analysed. No game can wait 10-or-so minutes for a decision!

While most technology-aided decisions (bat-pad, bump-ball, straight-forward caught-behind, etc) can be immediate, something like the Ponting dismissal can take precious time to analyse.

However, I do believe, as I mentioned in my blog-post, that the ICC does need to do something about the destructive influence that umpires can have on games.

If the decision is reversed…the 3 appeals remain intact. If the most sacred of institutions (Wimbledon) can institute this and as Cricket has this anyway…for stumping, run outs etc…why the problem for considering it at least for catches (where ball touches or does not touch bat), LBW’s (to rule out bat pads at least).

Bloody poor umpiring! The umpires have denied India a possible win here. Kumble should be more aggressive and should start questioning the umpires, I mean casually just like Ponting. Drawing this series is going to be impossible now!
BTW. Thx for the excellent commentary, Mohan.

Re: “It is this one-eyed behavior from the Channel-9 commentary team that makes me want to switch off.”, try listening to the ABC broadcast simultaneously.
PS: yours was a good commentary today.

Hogg, what a bonus! If the square leg umpire (who was in the best position to judge) had the fortitude to call it as he saw it, Symonds would definitely be back in the change rooms.
If the Aussie tail wags, as it is capable of doing, India may be chasing 350+ (at this stage), a good score considering.
