I agree. What happened yesterday was a farce, but its nothing new.

I can recall the days when Steve Randell blatently gave not-outs to the Australian batsman with a young Sri Lankan team on tour. It was just appalling, the Lankan's were toiling away for absolutely no reward and yet it was pretty much shrugged off. To answer Cricketguru's question, yes we need umpries, but we need umpires to be moderated so to speak, almost like an umpiring judicary.

Yesterday's events, as with some of the ones DomainK outlined are just plain ridiculous and its about time something was done about it. Simple as that.
