I'd get rid of the "not an LBW if pitched outside leg" rule.
Saw Tendulkar just padding away MacGill in Adelaide. Darn annoying.

Definately don't think that one should go. It'd make things much too easy for bowlers (and I am one haha).LongHopCassidy said:

overrates are too slow as it is. there is no way that cricket could hope to continue its prosperity as a spectator sport if we had decisions being referred to a 3rd umpire every few overs and taking a minimum of two minutes to be decided.
and what excuses would we have when our side loses a series?

haha, actually I'll give it to you boys, you never seem to come out with any excuses when you lose. Everyone just goes 'we were crap' and the rest of us nod our heads in agreement having realised that well in advance.Neil Pickup said:

There is far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far too much for me to single anything out.
Eveything to make the game as neat and tidy, fair and fulsome, as possible - decision-making, judgement of batsmen and bowlers, etc.
The recognition amongst fans that Test-match statistics are not the be-all-and-end-all, and do not sum-up conclusively a player's performance.

oh commone, an lbw decision would be far more accurate using technology than an umpire....marc71178 said:
