What's new

[PICTURE] Babar Azam's ridiculous LBW decision - Mockery of cricket?

The idea of 1 review is simple.

Use it only for howlers and not for marginal decisions. Had Azhar Ali not used it for a marginal decision, Bavaria Azam could have used it for a howler!
 
How long before we go back to two reviews and then back to one? Don't even remember the field restriction rules anymore. There are so many rule changes that even the most hardcore fans struggle to keep track of things. They use the international matches to test out new rules lmao, if that's not incompetence then I don't know what is.

And as for the DRS, an extra 3-4 minutes won't make that much of a difference. You can't try to speed up the process somehow but if they want to completely eliminate howlers then you must have at least 2 reviews in a 50 over game. 1 review is just not enough and we'll continue to see howlers every now and then, just like we saw in the last match.

2 reviews effectively increase time by at least 10-12 min.

Even 2 reviews aren't enough if team doesn't use it properly. Why do teams need 2 reviews? So that they review plumbs decisions too. Good thing is that you are not losing review on umpires call, so only scenario where you're losing review are the plumb decision.

Why do you think ICC needs to accomodate extra review for plumb decisions?
