The problem with cricket today is not racism, it’s bad umpiring — pure and simple — that causes the racism and other problems. For instance, how can you justify a batsman given a chance by the umpires on 10, 20, or 30 runs and then going on to make 100 or 150 runs — and then the commentators say what a great innings! That’s not cricket, thats hippo-cricket!
They have the technology today to make the game fair and enjoyable to watch, so why don’t they use it? I used to watch cricket a lot, but the past five years I watch less and less. There was only one cricket team I admired in the history of cricket and that was Clive Lloyd’s West Indian team. They wiped out every cricket nation on their own turf — good or bad umpiring — and if that same team was in this era of cricket, they would still wipe them out. They better make cricket fair and use the third umpire for all decisions otherwise my support of cricket is diminishing.
