Technology Not an Open and Shut Case
Posted by Nick
Another exmaple of technology being a mixed blessing in sports.
The International Cricket Council has once again sought to defend its decision to rely more on technology, saying the proposals were aimed at minimising errors and not undermining the on-field umpires in any way.
"The on-field umpires will continue to make the decisions. Their role is no way being compromised," International Cricket Council General Manager Dave Richardson said.
The top ICC official was referring to the proposal which will allow players to make three appeals per innings to the third umpire if they feel a decision made by the on-field umpire is incorrect.
