Incredibly tough job to umpire a fast contact sport with so many grey areas.
While also being judged on your ability to sync with two other umpires interpretations.
Commentators watch from a raised viewing platform, through binoculars, with absolutely no physical or weather restrictions whatsoever, and still rely on slow mo replays, from seven camera angles, to decide that probably the umpire got it wrong, or often the umpire actually got it right in the first place.
Would love to watch the game from the head cam of the adjudicating umpire only, and at true speed.
Maybe see a reply from the other two umpires cams, but again at true speed.
Then the umpires may be given the credit they they are due.
Suggestion without notice.
Why dont umpires be put in four man teams and train and umpire on match days together, as a team?
The biggest criticism of umpires is that they are not consistent.
Let the umpires umpire together week after week and that will improve.
Then the best, in form umpiring teams get the blockbuster games, leading to getting selected for the grand final.
