Why oh bloody why do the ICC do this? They allow the so-called use of technology into the game when it is so clearly needed but do their usual half arsed job by not giving the tools to the decision makers that are available to everybody else.

Hawkeye is proven. If anyone is interested in the actual technology, do a Google and see how the makers of Hawkeye developed the system. I have no doubt in its accuracy and increasingly neither do a growing band of commentators and spectators.

To force the 3rd umpire to make an LBW call with only a replay and without the use of Hawkeye is akin to giving a bottle of Viagra to a guy in a coma. Completely bloody useless!

—update—

And finally we see a wicket fall to the wisdom of the third umpire. Aleem Dar goes upstairs on Martyn (why I don’t know, it was plumb as plumb can be).
