call off matches: 'Let match referee decide'

According to Shah, "If at all a match gets into trouble, it should be
the match referee who should decide on its fate."


MRs taking over the umpires' role is not desirable. Next, we'd be
suggesting the MR can over-rule the third umpire on contentious
run-outs.

I think contentious decisions should be resolved by the fans.
Why not institute online polling to decide which way the fans want to
take the match?
Not just people in the stadium, everyone watching on tv.

I think that each event in the game, run or wicket or the like, should
be what the fans vote on an sms poll. Imagine the money BCCI could
make, at 50 rupees a pop!
The players should give what ever the fans want, and that means making
matches fixed according to the dictat of the mob.
