What is the point....

....of cricket Umpires??

No really, why bother with them at International level?  They all just want to be in the limelight and make sure they get noticed that any decision they have to make takes an eternity and then they have to add their own style to the hand motion etc., etc..

Just let a TV Umpire sort it all out and be done with all this eccentric behaviour.  No need for them anymore.  It's a slow enough sport to allow this.

Oh, wait....hang on.....won't happen.  Why you might ask?  Because of the 'Old Boys Network'.  All the posh blokes who used to bum each other at Public School who scratch each others backs and don't like any changes from traditional things.

Essentially they will kill the game.  But hey, who cares?  We can always watch American Baseball if we want to be bored senseless.  At least they finish it in one sitting!
