Prople who make me mad are those who come up to discuss a cricket game and then, after a while, slyly suggest that but for certain LBW decisions, the whole thing might have gone the other way. How on earth can they tell that? There's only one man on the whole field properly placed to decide an LBW, and that is the umpire. He is the only one who can see whether the ball is turning this way or that or whether it is too high.
So why not accept his word? As a kid i was brought up to believe that the neceptance of the umpire's verdict is part and parcel of the sportsmanship of the
