[Diatribe]

Even with my bitter hatred of everything about this septic isle, I never for a second  in my darkest hours envisaged supporting an indian cricket team, I guess that's the sort of effect Cook has on one.

That's an Indian cricket team that won't even accept the DRS despite every other Test playing country doing so for some time. The irony is that it would probably benefit them overall, also a country who often cynically manage just 10/11 overs an hour in India with spinners bowling, who also have come apparently crooked administrators running their game & also in the ICC, Oh & they also have the dreaded IPL!!

Precisely, Ilford, my point entirely, although I don't blame the indians for cashing in on T20, I blame the english counties for granting contracts (particularly ECCC) to players whose primary allegiance lays with the aforementioned.

I'm with India over DRS.

How is undermining the authority of umpires a good thing?

What authority? Most of the English umpires were frightened into agreeing with every appeal otherwise they were chucked off the board. As for foriegn umpires, well ask any England player from the 1950s-1990s.

Cricket would cease to exist as a professional sport if we don't bring technology in - the Indian bookmakers would have every umpire and referee in their pocket.
