Mike Selvey is not a fan of the new rule that allows players to appeal against the umpire's decision. Read his views on it in The Guardian.
The very notion of appealing against an umpire's decision, even in this artificially formalised way as advocated by the England coach Duncan Fletcher, is anathema, for the founding block of the game is the acceptance that the decision of the umpire is final.
