I dunno, I like the practice of doing it manually. After a while, and I think I'm starting to pick up on it, you can tell almost immediately whether it's LBW or not. I'll be watching the TV and go 'nope'. Sure enough, it's not out and hawk-eye sais it's going down leg stump or too high or something. I dunno, just getting a feel for an LBW is like an art form. I like that they don't go to 3rd ump but I can still see your point. Perhaps that kind of modernization of the game is inevitable. Hell, they're alreadt talking about running test matches at night time. Crazy. :uhh: :P I heard about that and something about the colour of the ball affecting something....I really didn't get this. Yeah it's like an art form in a way, but as the commentators said even during the match "guess what will be the headline of the paper tomorrow" after Symond's not out caught behind, a bad decision can turn a match alot. The problem is how accurate the hawk eye is and how much it'll slow the game down I suppose, as New Zealand came 7 mins close to having to pay extra for taking too long to bowl out the overs, the hawk eye and 3rd umpire would have taken alot of extra time added onto that.
