The notion that the ball would only be bounced at centre clearances and instead just thrown up at stoppages around the ground would've made me very sad five years ago - and it still does.
Really? My only complaint is that the umps don't throw it up high enough. But bouncing around the ground is a hassle I can live without. Actually hoping one day we get a sky cam style machine that just drops the ball from about 5m so the umps can stand back out of the way.

Some traditions are worth preserving. It bugs me that we throw it up around the ground to save time in matches, but we extend the time between a goal and the centre bounce so that the tv channels have enough time to play ads. To see the bounce taken out of the game enitrely, I think, would be a tragedy.

I'd rather the bounce just be used for the start of each quarter - everything else should just be a ball up. Too much time wasted otherwise

I agree. One of the most piss weak efforts ever. Two weeks. Pfft.
How he didn't cop 8 or more weeks is staggering.
They're intent on rubbing blokes out for marginal bumps, yet go soft on king hitting a guy leaving the field of play.
Any wonder that flog Mark Fraser has "left" the tribunal.

You reckon you'd smile after losing a fifth set 70-68?!
