Question: Who is the odd man out ?. Sir Ian Bothem, Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Vivian Richards, Dr Paul Hawkins ?.
Well, Hawkins claims to have been a county cricketer, which means that Bradman is the odd man out as he only played in and for Australia. However, I am not so sure about his claim.....
A good shout Relayer., but the answer in this case is not Bradman. Incidentally, Braddles as the Aussies call him, played at Worchester, Leeds and The Oval and Lords, to some effect.
Didn't say that he never played IN England, but he never played for an English County. His domestic career was all in Australia. But back to the drawing board anyway.....
In that case Relayer, I'm going to give you and you only a clue., And your clue is:- The logic applied to your original answer is spot on.
This technology has been used in RFU for years now. It causes only minor delays, and try decisions are generally more complex because of the number of players involved in some of those situations.
Thanks for the clue, but the ideas cupboard is bare!! (I don't have a great history of quizzes on this forum..... )
The Answer to yesterdays question is :- Bothem, Bradman and Hawkins, in their own particular areas, have made a hugh impact on more then one 'Ashes Test' series. Great as he undoubtedly was, Sir Viv by virtue of playing for the W'indies hasn't. Viv Richards.
Bit tenuous that, Bajan - seeing as Hawk-eye has been used in other tests rather than just The Ashes!! And you could argue that that the battering Richards regularly administered to England during the late 70's / early 80's had more effect softening them up than anything Australia could come up with in the actual Tests!!!! (Only embittered for not getting the answer........ lol)
I hear you Relayer. Of all the other answers given., your shout (answer) was infact the closest to the correct one.
Robots in football? Over my dead... I really do hope it's the thin edge of the wedge. Human error, bad. Correct and fair decisions, good. What else can it do? The ref will also know about near misses (hate that term). I'm not sure what this will add to the game. "Piss off Mr. Terry, it was a near miss"? Maybe it's for the TV, but then why would the ref need to know? Anyone got any ideas? The TV. It's been said that we'll see the flight of the ball during replays. We already get that, but normally some time after the game. Bring it on as long as they don't go OTT with it. Actually seeing if a wild shot would have actually gone in if it weren't for that lucky deflection might be good. The system has the ability to remove the players from the picture too. Start with Dempsey, ay? As for cost: Hardware is an off-the-shelf computer, 14 cameras, £1.99 watch, software and operator(s). I imagine the software licence is the most expensive bit.
