Umpire Dickie Bird is not happy with the referral system
It is no surprise that bar-room discussions about the current Australia v West Indies test match series is focused on whether the ability to refer umpire decisions to the Third Umpire should continue.

Opals after beating New Zealand and securing a spot in the 2010 World Championships
Just when I thought the dominance of Australia on the world sporting stage was over, some of our lesser known champions are flying the flag and doing us all proud.
We lost the Ashes in pathetic style, we lost the Bledisloe Cup again and we can’t win a rugby game against South Africa. New Zealand has smashed the Kangaroos in the rugby league and this sporting nut nearly lost all hope.
