I fully agree with Javed Miandad that by allowing the players to refer the decision of two feild umpire to third umpire is not right and it is as a matter of letting down them or down sizing them in their responsibilities.By this ruling the umpires have busineess in the game except to declare game timmings,signalling boudaries. Why ICC has failed to add calls for no ball, wide balls also for third umpire as some time these calls are aslo suspecious. Good or bad decisions are part of the game this where the sportman spirits are valued and the game becomes respectable. If each and every decision on pitch is debatable than it is better ask the mob which can control the game rather reposing faith on the two gentleman on the pitch. The decisons like run out or difficult catches or stumping beeing related human perception of vision and electronic media being to our rescue fair judgement can be provided by the third umpire that too while the main umpires ask for. The decision given by ICC appears as though ICC is not a proffessional body.It is high time that ICC should reconsider such bad and adverse decisions.
Look who's talking! The guy who had dissent over umpire's decision all over his face even after he was bowled is making this statement. The guy who went after a opposition player with a bat is talking this. The guy who made mockery of rival team members (jumping incident in WC 1992 against India) is talking about mockery of the game.
Umpires are not gods. If there is anything that can make the game better and improve the umpiring decisions (which have become a topic of their own) then it should be implemented.
