I have watched the game for over 40 years and honestly, have never seen more controversy over ref decisions as there are now. So the whole point of the exercise is not being remedied. Like other sports rules are being changed to suit the technology, not the other way around.
The whole thing is purely for the benefit of TV and betting agencies.
Just watching the cricket today
There was a DRS decision on Sandtner that got knocked back on review
I think it was out at the time but the replays were not 100% conclusive to show it as being out.
The commentators kept looking and looking and looking and eventually found other angles to show it as out
See the problem is now is that the umpires and 3rd umpire were precisely right
There was no clear error there from the inglfield umpire so they let the call stand
I think the biggest problem is the tv coverage where they focus on trying to split hairs on decisions instead of just accepting the refs ****ed up
You go watch a game at the ground and you just accept the poor decisions from the ref and get on with it. Not now thanks to VAR the game is tampered with repetitively
Looked a pretty legit fourth for wellington to me!
Grant just got sent.
SFC Agent Speedy..."is that a definite error by the referee?
Then...."after his head knock does Grant know what he is even doing?"
Slater...."he's off"
Ams is the worst ref to blow into a whistle at present. Same below average ref sent Ronnie for a bit of lip v City yet the the bloke can't see how bad Grant's challenge(s) were.
Defies logic this bloke is officiating at this level.
SFC lodging an appeal for poor Rhino (as Tara would call him).

Some peak mariners play tonight!
Happy new years, folks. Coasties losing is about the best thing we can celebrate heading into 2020.
Your right Tara, Garb and L Zelic should have all been given the ass from there respective roles in the media for using there positions to further the false claims. It would appear not one of them done there own homework to validate any claims before jumping on the " if only you knew " brigade.
That man hater who started this should have her member of the order stripped.
