Re: Error prone LBW decisions - How come we continue to live with it ?
I dont see why we dont have the technology to accurately judge lbw decisions. We already have Hawk Eye which is still currently used as an analysis tool rather than a decision making one.
More cameras can be installed which record every fine movement and change in direction of the ball, up to say 100 frames per second. Very doable.
Also it is time cricket balls were embedded with microchips and a few sensors that relay information direct to the umpire. To make things more interesting, similar sensors could be installed in the bat and the batsman's pads, to help solve the ever so confusing bat pad decisions.
And last but not lease, with all these technologies in place, hand over the LBW decision making to 3rd umpire.
As far as implementing these technologies, i dont think money is a factor anymore.
