So umpires are allowed to screw up, very publicly, with no effective deterrence in place to curb such behavior ( the same argument holds true for the Match Referees panel). <br /><br />And in the absence of deterrence, abuse of the process in place is more likely than not.<br /><br />Cheers,Homernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-82710122201920759642010-01-17T11:37:24.686+05:302010-01-17T11:37:24.686+05:30I will be my usual (irritating?) self and withhold...I will be my usual (irritating?) self and withhold judgment on this particular incident, but you are absolutely right about the possibilities for abuse of the system.<br /><br />Mind you, is McGlashan seriously suggesting that HotSpot or Snicko must have given definitive evidence in this case?

However, being ICC, they'll muddle it up but there will be some action, for sure,.<br />For one, Harper might develop some "health problems" and retire from umpiring :-)<br /><br />How conveniently do errant umpires against Oz and England develop health problems to conveniently retire from the game in a timely manner? Why doesnt it happpen to Bucknors, and we have to suffer a 100 times before we push him out and earn a bad name as bullying Indians. Why cant we manipulate the game as cleverly as the English and Australian boards, press and public?rajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-87071361312457322010-01-16T02:13:55.364+05:302010-01-16T02:13:55.364+05:30Foresight and the ICC are mutually exclusive :)Foresight and the ICC are mutually exclusive :)Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949049044524078820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-56538001954474712932010-01-16T01:39:12.337+05:302010-01-16T01:39:12.337+05:30I think you mean lack of foresight :)I think you mean lack of foresight :)Mahekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036231713500207408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-20451612088252207772010-01-16T00:23:13.585+05:302010-01-16T00:23:13.585+05:30Charlie,
