I agree that we should not fall into the trap of using technology just because it is available. A good example comes from Australian Rules football. The technology now exists to accurately determine how far the player with the ball runs between each bounce of the ball, but the game would be foolish to go down that path.

Aussie Rules fans of a certain vintage would remember Phil Manassa’s amazing goal in the 1977 Grand Final replay, where he bounced the ball four times as he ran along the wing. I would hate to see similar goals in the future being referred to a video umpire to check whether the player ran half a metre too far between the second and third bounce.

Leave no-ball decisions to the on-field umpires
