Of course it won't be up to Beefy,be good if it was though Wink
Personally i'm not sure about this,will LBW's be questioned?Catches will be i'm sure,but that was a problem before,sometimes because T.V is a two dimension thing you aren't able to tell if the ball has been caught clearly or not.And what about the Umpires?I think on the whole they do a great job,they make some mistakes but they get it right mostly.I think the ICC are fucking around with our wonderful game again,a la the subs rule :roll:

Spot on, it's a stupid idea, just as it would be stupid to start bringing in video replays in Football.

Leave the fucking Sports alone.

The standard of umpiring has got much better in recent years in my opinion.

Far too much meddling in all forms and levels of the game now.

Also if its true,why the fuck are they on about doing this?Video replays will just undermine the umpires,there really don't do a bad job,and to my mind bad decisions even themselves out over the course of a series anyway.
Its a waste of time :-))(
