Re: ICC considers new right of appeal
^ Although I agree that the laptop-enabled coaches sitting in the dressing room are the most competent to make an appeal in this case, there is a world of difference between the role of coach/manager in baseball/basketball/football compared to cricket. In cricket, the captain on the field has unusually huge responsibility to make changes, whereas in other sports (named above) coach/manager sitting outside are making all the calls.
On the issue of allowing the players/teams to have the right of appeal/challange a limited number of umpiring decisions is definitely a step in the right direction. I have also said the same thing many times on this forum. Current god-like status given to human umpires in cricket is non-sensical and has ruined many a cricket careers of players.
