Cricket has instant replays and a third umpire sitting in front of a tele as well. But a few of those errors were made by the third umpire himself! And to think he saw the thing from different angles, in slow motion and took his own time!!!

What do we do about the lapse in judgement regarding umpires in Cricket. Errors so huge that they cost the match. Errors not committed just once, but more than twice in each innings of the test match.
I do not blame the umpires. They are human, after all. But what should be the course of remedial action in such cases?
Sigh!

let him gloat...we know what we are...and gossip queens is not one of them!! It is a discussion board, after all. We do discuss random things at times...
that's a conspiracy!!!!!!! I will not tolerate it! I will go to either our King or our Queen!!!! Or better, to the rightful nominee of the title!
If, and that is a big if, i have been nominated, I humbly decline and pass the torch to Kevin....
