Another shortcoming of the UDRS
King Cricket writes in the Wisden Cricketer that one of the drawbacks of the umpire decision review system is that it robs fans of the euphoric moment when a wicket falls. He suggests that the UDRS should be tweaked to allow on-field umpires the choice of asking for help from the television umpire before making a decision.
You cheer half-heartedly when the umpire raises his finger because you know that the batsman’s only half out. He might ask for the decision to be referred and he might be reprieved. It’s all a bit messy and you can’t get carried away by the moment.
