<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@neeran" class="u-url mention">@<span>neeran</span></a></span> I&#39;m curious, once you take out Umpire&#39;s Call, *why do we still need umpires*? Either the decision is obvious (as is mostly the case for bowled and caught), or it goes to replay anyway (catches near the ground, stumpings, snickos, etc.). Once in a rare while they even obstruct the play. Why, other than tradition, not replace them with a clothes rack? (More sponsorship opportunities! And the rack can&#39;t be accused of bias for which balls it blocked, etc.)</p>
