Do they follow any rule or it's just whims of umpires

"I've seen some poor umpiring decisions this series, but this is just ridiculous. If you come off for one cloud in England, you'll never play." The decision to go off for bad light on the final day at The Oval does not please Nasser Hussain If I remember correctly it was far gloomier in Lords and bucknour/Taufel kep exchanging notes without offering light to the batsmen. I have no doubt in my mind couple of wicket at the fag end fell due to bad light. But Here England is in trouble they spot one cloud in words of Hussain off they go..

it is just whims when bucknor is involved. remember how he refused bad light to SRT then blamed his poor decision immediately afterwards to bad light.

I wud have thought light-meter brings some kind of quantifiable consistency at least in this aspect of game..
