Mic'd Umpires for this years Twenty20.

[SpaceMonkey]

According to Sky the umpries will be mic'd so they can ask them about each decision etc...good or bad?
I'd have to say its a good idea, just to see how they explain all the dodgy not outs / outs they give

Heres the Article about it.

Fielders, and batters - bowlers too.

I remember when they asked MacGill what he was going to bowl. His reply was 'an absolute pie'.

He proceeded to bowl a 40 mph leg stump waist high full toss, and got smashed for 6.
