Peter Roebuck argues for the third umpire for LBWs

I was listening to running commentary of the third test between SA-AUS and it was really depressing to hear so many wrong decision by umpires especially by the same umpire in this case. Surely ICC can't simply sit on this for any longer. It is high time TV replies are used for all LBW decisions or at least for the decisions objected by the Fielding and Batting side captains.
As Peter Roebuck argues in 'SMH', it is high time we bring third man into play.

Shoib too hot to handle!

Inzamam says :

"Karachi: Ahead of the Indian team’s arrival in Pakistan on Thursday for the Test and one-day series, Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq sounded a warning to the visitors that they would find pacer Shoaib Akhtar “too hot to handle”.

Inzamam unveiled his strategy against the top-line Indian batting, saying his bowlers needed to get opener Virender Sehwag early because he can destroy any bowling attack thereafter. He fancied his chances against Sachin Tendulkar as well and said the Pakistani bowlers can restrict him."
