It's a silly thing done in a silly way. But, if you must, then get the video umpire and his on-field colleagues to be in constant conference with each other, independent of baying from the players. If any of them notice anything, they should make their decision which is then relayed to everybody else through the on-field official-in-charge.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

Mind you, what's interesting about that decision is that from schoolboy level on, you're actually coached to run between the fielder and the stumps to increase the chances of the ball hitting you rather than the stumps on a tight run. It's basic stuff that's drilled into you like grounding your bat or backing up a throw.
Given that, you could argue that batsmen could be given out every time the ball hits them from a throw.
Again, players bear no responsibility for the right decision being made. They are, by definition, wholly biased and are only interested in getting what they can.
A referee has no allegiance other than to the truth. To stick to your decision when you are clearly wrong is the act of a ****
