ICC to trial TV umpires on front-foot no-ball calls

[somnath chakraborty]

The ICC will soon empower TV umpires to take a call on front foot no-balls on a trial basis, the world body’s General Manager (Cricket Operations) Geoff Allardice said. The ICC will test the new system in a few indentified limited-overs series over the next six months and if the experiment pans out to be a success, on-field umpires could lose the right to call no-balls for overstepping in future.

ICC is over dependent on technology these days. LBW and caught behind we have DRS, stumping and run-out we have tv umpire, boundary line catches/saves we have tv umpire. LED stumps, wired players (heart rate monitor, mic), stump mic/camera, snicko, Hawkeye, ball tracker, hotspot, spider cam, umpire cam, slo-mo, ball speed and spin tracker, bat speed, etc. Don't be surprised if we see 2 drones replacing the on field umpires, very soon.

It will be hilarious to watch drone empires gets striked by frustrated players.

On field umpiring standards have came down to an intolerable level.
