The use of technology in cricket, in particular UDRS – A couple of other emails sent into Sky Sports news, illustrates my strong feelings on test cricket being the crown jewel event in the game, despite all the fanfare that surrounds Twenty 20 cricket.
TV companies rely too heavily on replays, leaving very little to the viewers imagination. Isn’t the whole attraction of watching the game, is to discuss afterwards the injustices of Umpiring decisions, not the over-use of replays. Cricket players around the world maintain that the good decisions ultimately balance out the bad ones anyway.
Sports media organisations will continue to validate technology with the increasing coverage given to Cricket, a 365 days a year sport now at International level.
