Captains say 145;yes146; to using more technology

Ponting8217;s view was consistent with a long-standing Australian approach to the subject, while Taibu, Test cricket8217;s youngest-ever captain, felt 8220;what8217;s already there is enough8221;.

Those in favour of more assistance for officials included England8217;s Michael Vaughan, who, however, expressed reservations about using the hawk eye for leg before decision.

8220;I have reservations about the use of certain types of technology. I am not convinced, for example, that hawk eye is always 100 per cent right on lbw decisions because the umpire in the middle is still the person who is best placed to judge how the pitch is behaving and what the ball is doing.

8220;That said, I do like the idea of using technology to highlight the wicket-to-wicket area on a pitch so the umpire can get a better idea as to whether the ball has pitched inside or outside the line of leg stump,8221; he said.

Vaughan said use of a greater amount of technology would help eliminate some of the more obvious bad decisions when a batsman is given out when the ball has pitched outside the line of leg stump.
