sourab10forever Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 TBH,modern day umpire's are slowly turning into robots anyway. Every single No-ball/Run-Out doubt is referred upstairs and DRS is a vital element with regards to LBW/caught behind. All the umps are seen going nowadays is : But dont think this will happen atleast for the next 5-7 years.Maybe even 10. The tech needs to be full proof and plus ppl need to accept it. The human element is the key. Maybe some robot that is not completely autonomous but is reacting to real time instructions from the 3rd ump room will work. Plus it's ability will have to be super good inorder to move away from the action. Or they could come up with a virtual umpire using projectors. Link to comment

Something like AlphaGo can go a great deal in eliminating all elements of doubt from such decisions. You won't need all...just a upgraded version of the current ball tracking system will be enough.

Texan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 And you don't even need to appeal. Every ball will be judged for whether batsman is out, hit a 4 or 6 or something else. Link to comment
