IMO

In cricket, the type of game is different to footy, cricket is a set-piece game where folk are used to a stop-start progression. I think it’s added to the spectacle

In Tennis it’s actually speeded up play, the players appear to trust and really like it. Again it’s a set piece sport

I think it spoils rugby for the ‘at the venue’ fan, it certainly does me and anyone I’ve been with, but then again so does the time scrums take to enact. Chapeau to RL for solving that one

Unmentioned, NFL have cracked it after many years of experimenting but it’s a bloody expensive system
