Why the Man-Machine Interface in the game of cricket is not good~?

With the advanced technology everything from a no ball to a decision can be made by a super processor which will take feed of various cams installed in the field and also will do analysis of decisions based on height , pitching of ball, snicko, hot spot , whatever tools are available . This will not be a time consuming process at all and the umpires will be conveyed the decision digitally or by voice to their earphones.

Partial use of technology can be pretty biased and adds no value, the reasons are as follows:

1. A TV umpire can counter or accede to the decision of field umpire at his discretion and will never be blamed for it

2. A field umpire can also get away with the wrong decision due to shelter of being referred to third umpire.

3. The integrity of people involved matters the most as the marginal LBWs generally should go in batsmen favor but umpires can fiddle with the marginal decisions.

4.The number of appeals are 3 and people like Bucknor will in no time exhaust appeals of opposition making the system totally useless.

A weaker time like Australia and SL gets benefitted from this misuse of power and no one can raise fingers. A super processor can resolve all the problems and umpires can immediately convey all decisions on the field faster than the current use of technology.

i have worked a lot on man machine interfaces, let me assure all that all key protection and control systems have a man / machine interface and it is very effective and fast. The umpires roles will be confined to make the game played without confrontations and convey the decisions of the super processor.

ICC should look into this and this will help overrarted teams like Australia and SL come come down in the table substantially because they are the most benefitted teams from poor umpiring~

all comments welcome ~
god bless~
oops a typo, it should be team instead of time~ time’s up for these teams as soon as super processor barges in~
Bucknor’s making merry it for Aussie sonce again however the third umpire with visual display seems to be also clutched under bucknor’s decisions due to manual decision on basis of visual display~
no racist comments please to this genuine cricket Q~
jesus bells all~
it is just a matter of time~
Toast of many users ~blocked for hate speech, no extra curricular activity foreseen to a genuine cricket related Q~
he further got 4 lives in that match~
Australia 134/7 in Sydney test and Symonds caught Dhoni b Ishant not given by bucknor and he went on to make 164 series saving runs changing the result of the series~ a hearing AIDS to bucknor from processor would have been great~
SL , Doctrove changing decisions of field umpire in LBW decisions with visual display without support of snicko or height , pitch analysis , making SL harass Fab 4 and win that series~

that is the point weak teams getting the series result changed ~
Hop Singh, false presentation of facts and hate speech, this doesn’t answer the Q, it seems to be a rant against Indians~
lets look forward~ time is the greatest entity, time will tell who wins where, Ind or NZ , Aus or SA~
Benny, blocked for rant and hate speech, community targetting~ my Q is about technology , you add no value to the Q! blocked~
Kiwijoey, you don’t address the intent of my Q, marginal decisions can be defied by third umpire based on field umpires decision. A computer can not be fooled and impressed by field umpire.

9 year old banned from pitching?

I read on the yahoo news when checking my email, a stroy about a 9-year old being banned from pitching because he throws too fast. What do you think of this. I think its wrong, to punish someone for doing something good.

btw, when i was 9 i played with the pithcer machine, and there we was hitting 60 mph balls, and he threw 40 mph balls

Stirickly Hypothetical pitching question….?

I know it would never happen, but this is just to make you think. Lets say you had a pitcher with the following pitches:

4 seam fastball (Mid-Upper 90′s) overpowering with controll
Spilter (Low-Mid 90′s) strikeout variety, meaning great dive to it
Knuckle Ball (Mid – Upper 60′s) w/nasty movement

I would assume he would be a strikeout machine. The question to me would be where would you put him. Not meaning what is more important starter/reliver I dont mean that debate. I mean a guy with those type pitches would you make him a starter, middle relief, or closer?

This came up becuase I was playing MLB 08 the show on PS3 & a pitcher came in out of the pen with these pitches & I was thinking to myself no way in hell a guy could have a 98mph fastball & a 66mph kunuckle but it got me thinking. The Spliter would be an effective pitch for double play balls so he could be used as a starter, but the differentiation for fastball knuckleball would make him a strikeout machine so he would be an effective cloer to. Just made me think!

Can you solve this?????

You are in the middle of the desert in a soundproof bubble with no door.
You only have a piano,(a ball, a self pitching machine and a bat),and a (saw and a wood table). How do you get out it requires a play of words. Try to find it out before looking at the anwser.

1. You play a key on the piano, take and use the key to get out.
2. Get three strikes and you are out.
3. Take a chainsaw and saw the table into two halves. Put it together and it is a hole(whole). Jump through it and get out.

MORONS of the year?

Presenting the top morons of the year…

1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?
AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it’s not Walter who’s lacking intelligence.

2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS:
Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them in the police line, shouting, “Please come out and give yourself up.”

3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???
An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated teller machines, wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money from own his bank accounts.

4. THE GETAWAY!
A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Stop, and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked at the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.

5. DID I SAY THAT???
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn’t control himself during a line-up. When detectives asked each man in the line-up to repeat the words: “Give me all your money or I’ll shoot,” the man shouted, “That’s not what I said!”

6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING??
A man spoke frantically into the phone, “My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!” “Is this her first child?” the doctor asked. “No!” the man shouted, “This is her husband!”

7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!!
In Modesto, California, Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun, but unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. (hellllllooooooo!)

8. THE GRAND FINALE
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get their brand new 22 ft. boat going. It was very sluggish in almost every manoeuvre, no matter how much power was applied.

After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong.

A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath.

He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. NOW REMEMBER…THIS IS TRUE … Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer

Do you ever ask yourself “does it really take all kinds to make the world turn?????

As a child I wittnessed a strange man standing infront of the grocery store he had a loud boombox playing hard rock music and he was shouting out bible verses and telling repent then he went into a cursing mode .I said Mom what up with that man? She says to me Well Joy it takes all kinds of people to make this world turn .Well I wonder why she didn’t just tell me he was mentally ill?Oh well any way here ya go! The top 2007 Morons for your reading amusment lol the last one is a reall doosie lol rofl .Enjoy !!!

Hard Drive Failure?

I recently (2 weeks ago) bought a very expensive computer system with Windows Vista Ultimate pre-installed. One night I woke up to the sound of a very high pitched noise coming from the machine. It appeared to happen when the computer went to “sleep”.

A restart gives me the following message:

“Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter”.

It now will no longer start. I managed to get it into safe mode once by using a windows disk. However soon after I was met with a blue screen and the following message:

“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL”

I’m having trouble getting a replacement hard drive from the crappy manufacturer. Is there anything I can do or try in the meantime?
