Sachinism Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The umpire review system will be rolled out in Test cricket from October this year and umpires will have greater scope to decide on bad-light interruptions after the ICC adopted several recommendations from its cricket committee. The potential for a day-night Test in 2010 was also discussed at the ICC's meetings in Lord's this week, as was harsher penalties for slow over rates. It was expected that the umpire review system would be introduced permanently following trials over the past year. This week's gatherings, including the ICC Chief Executives' Committee meeting on Monday and Tuesday, and the first day of the ICC board meeting on Wednesday, confirmed the development. It was also agreed that day-night cricket would be explored further, with the potential for a day-night Test in 2010, if such issues as developing an appropriate ball and trialing it at first-class level could be resolved. Finding a suitable coloured ball remains one of the major stumbling blocks and Australia are keen to test several prototypes during a mock match, possibly during the 2009-10 summer. The meetings also determined that play should only be suspended for bad light when umpires decided conditions were unreasonable or dangerous, rather than "unsuitable", as is currently the case. The umpires are expected to make that call on their own instead of offering the light to the batsmen. Fines for slow over-rates will be doubled and a captain of a team guilty of three over-rate fines in the same format in a rolling 12-month period will be automatically suspended for one match. Match officials will also be encouraged to be more diligent in enforcing the playing conditions to minimise delays due to such interruptions as unscheduled drinks breaks. The development of a new Future Tours Programme was also discussed. The ICC board meeting continues on Thursday, when the members will discuss, among other things, the 2011 World Cup. http://www.cricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/current/story/410404.html Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i am really proud of the ICC-this is the correct decision and i am happy they didnt back off due to the traditionalists. Link to comment
DomainK Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Good. This was needed. I still can not forget how Kumble made stupid use of the system and how he made himself look dumb. Then he voted against it. Link to comment
diegovegaz Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 referral system should have been phased out Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 referral system should have been phased out why?.because we sucked using it? i can live with that if we can avoid another "sydney" Link to comment
Lord Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i am dissapointed.it was a terrible system n killed so much time for unnecessary interruptions.Test cricket is already loosing popularity n this will make it more boring n draw people away from Test cricket.atleast they could have made some changes.like using Hotspot,n if the 3rd umpire cant make his mind in 1 min,the decision of on'field umpire stands Link to comment

Wrong referrals and its a strike. Captains would be very cautious of using the referrals unless its Kumble. :P You are giving one example of Chanderpaul I can give you many examples of eff ups without referrals which changed the course of a match.

DomainK Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 C'mon purists, the game evolves with time and one has to take some measures to minimize stupidity in the games. Umpires have made serious blunders too frequently and have led to this change. This will bring the bias (yes, it exists) down. At least teams are not going to complain that there was bias.

If they don't have any referrals for an all important decision its the captains fault and he has to put up with it. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I still don't understand why Kumble gets castigated for using the referral system in SL. The plain facts were that SL bowlers were creating more chances than ours and it is only logical that their appeals would be more successful. In fact, one of the major screw ups of the system was made by Jayawardene in the series when he twice referred leg befores against Tendulkar off Murali upstairs and finished all his chances with only 3 Indian wickets down. Too bad our batsmen were not good enough to exploit it. Link to comment
