  • And on those judgements in cricket that are subjective, the players and fans accept that and move on.

    Seriously, part of the problem is people obsessing over the match officials far too much and looking far too hard for any supposed slight on their team or a bigger reason than “it’s a subjective call”. The notions of"corruption" that occur on here every week are, frankly, laughable.

    I also watch a sport that has had a video referee for nearly 30 years - rugby league was the first sport in the UK to regularly use video referees in its domestic league and even now, the same debates that surround VAR surround that sport’s use.of video match officials. People who expected VAR to bring a new dawn of flawless, consistent decision making were expecting the impossible.

    Yes VAR can improve, but people have to accept it’s limitations…
