I ain't walking

Hey all you Cricket lovers out there......are we seeing a new dimension in the Cricket arena.. For those who are not getting my point; I am trying to put in my thoughts on the new weapon introduced in the game yes "REFERRALS".

What's that??????????
"Well, a player is allowed to call for a referral from the 3rd umpire in case they think that the decision by the on-field umpire is ruling against them. Each team is given 3 chances per inning to call for a referral."

Didn't get it??????
"Ball goes whistling pass the edge of Sachin's bat, the aussies appeal, the umpire raises his finger that's OUT!!...........Well wait a second.......What if Sachin hasn't nicked it. Does he still have to go.....
Not anymore. He can ask the on-field umpire for a referral of decision to the 3rd umpire...the 3rd umpire will scrutinise the event using the on-field high end video cameras and then give his decision whether the batsman is Out or Not Out

Same is the case for the fielding team..if a nick is ruled against them..they can call for a referral"


So now he he hey heyy heyyy.......here we run our minds

So now if a batsman knows he is OUT..should he show his honesty towards the game and walk out.like a few batsman used to do... I don't think so..Hell wait there at the crease let the opposition ask for their referral..just waste all their 3 referrals.

This new thing will reduce a lot of human errors, which have resulted in many turn arounds in the game of Cricket.

But how demotivating this will be for the on-field umpires and also how tough it will be for the 3rd umpire to be accurate when he is constantly monitored by not only the match referee but millions of people around the world.
Technology seems to be overtaking the game

It is still on test basis currently happening in the IND vs. SL test series. Some players are for it and some against .


But above all I will still love the game for the sheer passion that I have for the game
