Its not just that as the traditionalist says its just not cricket.
There has to be a human touch to the game. You can refer close calls
to the third umpire sure but a LBW going up every time is not really
necessary. Automation is fine where required, but to overdo it will
kill the game.

Football and Hockey where this system exists is more of a contact
sport, i cant really think of a situation for a yellow card in
cricket. You step out of line you do get penalised. SO there is a
system to discipline in place. If however the bias in built in in the
mind of a referee like Proctor its a question of who umpires the
umpire!
