Thanks Andy, after all these years I finally understand cricket. 

My life is complete.

Ah, but the rules have changed. We now have three umpires. The third stays
in but decides if those who are in are out if those umpires who are out are
unsure whether those who are in are out or in. 

This certainly makes the rules a lot simpler don't you think?

Cheers
