Finally, I am glad that those who run cricket have shown some spunk in announcing the experimental implementation of refarrals. A batting team can now ask for 3 decisions to be reviewed by 3rd TV umpire if it disagrees with the on-field umpires.
It is such a joy and relief to stand vindicated.
Despite a promising start, here are a couple of things I want to happen as we go ahead:
1) Why only the batting side, even bowling side should be allowed for referrals in the matches
2) Why only 3 decisions, should be as many as required.
I am sure that going forward these improvements will be imlemented, and rightly so.
Seeing the brighter sides of international cricket in this post, here are 2 more:
1) I am glad that KP's stance is allowed by MCC.
2) Windies showed amazing spunk in fighting the Aussies and Chanderpaul has been superb!

Hi Ranjeet,
Plz write about Mendes mania:-)
I don't think he would trouble us for ever. Once our players are able to read his deliveries, he won't look that dangerous.
I think our heroes took him very lightly, and he took us very seriously:-)
One of my cricket-buff friends is writing a post on this subject. Will forward the same to you soon.
Keep blogging...
Hi Abhjit,
I think Mendis is good. In fact he was extremely effective on the spinning track where our Kumble-Bhajji were total failures. He continues to impresss me and I think he definitely is an asset. Along with Murali, he is a bigger threat to batsmen world over, especially on spining tracks!
Cheers,
Ranjeet
Ranjeet, i think even bowlers have an advantage of referrals.
Yes Abhijit, you are right!
