That's karma for ssmith's dismissal....

Question -- do captain's cash-in unused reviews for increases in match fees or something.......because that's the only logical reason i can think why RSA didn't review that..

This is why referrals shouldn't be in players' hands. ****ing stupid design of a system. Better than not having it at all but needs a fair few changes in how the whole issue is approached.

**** Holding is talking ****. You're not intrinsically less deserving of being out just because it's less obvious.

 

[ajdude]

hahaha i could watch an entire show of pommie reading out tweets and holding laughing at them

make that holding saying "howler" and "sheen" over and over again

whose hands then? putting it in the on-field umpires hands won't solve the problem because there will be occasions where the umpire is absolutely sure the batsman is out/not out and won't review his call even if its wrong. And i can't really see how it can be put in the 3rd umpires hands, is he expected to make a call between the short space of a decision being given not out and the next ball being bowled?

No, but not surprised

It hasn't reached mt colah

Because they are designed as an "mechanism" to overcome umpires mistakes. They are designed for overt mistakes i.e. clangers. Not for decisions like Rogers' nick. DRS review management is a strategical element of the modern game.

The only alternative is for the 3rd umpires to adjudicated on everything and field umpires to only count deliveries and to signal "over". Is that what you really want?
