Technology should be used as much as possible

August 27, 2005

When he have the facility to conclusively state out or not out, we should use it.

Hawk eye and other inconclusive technologies should not be used but if the fans and people sitting in the media boxes and dressing rooms can see a decision being made is clearly wrong on tv (like inside edge given out lbw), it brings the game to unnecessary disrepute.

The day saw some brilliant cricket. But we remember the error decisions most. It would not have happened 40 years ago to this extent as the cameras would not have been that conclusive and the media was not as strong and communication not as fast.

  2. I think we should stop when the decisions are not conclusive like the lbw by hawk eye right now.

  4. Australia is super power in world cricket today. Because of their level of domestic cricket is one of the finest domestic cricket level in the world today. In domestic cricket of Australia every one has to perform (also for senior) then into Austarlia A team. Lesson for India.
