That means you are better off staying with the masses if you want luck to equal itself out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The rules of the game state that you don\u2019t have to walk. Throughout history, umpiring mistakes have been part of the game. Now we try and make it 100% but the hot-spot technology was also shown to have flaws in this test match with the Trott incident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sometimes I just don\u2019t like change\u2026lol.
