Why not?

Good point. On-field umpires shouldn't have such liberties. It should be made a 
part of the 3rd umpire's jurisdiction.

Slurs do not translate well across countries.  Case in point "monkey" vs 
"bastard" in India. Neither do questionable strategies. Someone should remind 
him about England's fast leg theory (the 'bodyline' tag was given by Aussies), 
which Jardine and the English had justified as an extension of the prevalent 
leg theory.

The idea of yellow/red cards should be similar to that in football. The appeal 
system should be repealed. Even football infrequently gets a 'Zidane-headbutt' 
or a 'hand-of-god', but cricket not being an on-the-run play, such incidents 
may be less.
