Daryl Harper, former vice-president of the ICC elite panel, has blocked Umpires ’controversial call in the Decision Review System, saying there is a gap in communication or understanding of the concept of the after more than ten years.
Call Umpires in particular come into the picture if a revision has been sought for LBW. In a situation where the regulator does not rule out, even if the ball is seen hitting the stumps on review, the TV umpire has no powers to change the decision.
The only comfort for the bowling team is that their review is still intact.
“I’ve had enough of the umpire call. Let’s not stop the umpire call. Get rid of the controversy and just get away with it. Any communication with a member on a stump releases bail. No 48%, 49%, ”Harper said Sydney Morning Herald.
“Because it’s been going on for 12 years and the public is still under scrutiny, and the players are still under scrutiny, that shows that there are deficiencies in communication or understanding,” he said. e.
Harper considered the concept flawed and urged the ICC to go back again.
“So a lot of work has to be done since the end of the ICC. Because we shouldn’t be talking about umpiring decisions. ”
The Call of the Umpires has been the subject of widespread debate since a number of controversial calls in the recently concluded Boxing Day Test between India and Australia in Melbourne.
Australian captain Tim Paine was handed over, caught behind Ravindra Jadeja on the third day. He was rejected after the on-field call by Paul Reiffel was reversed by third umpire Paul Wilson. The wicket keeper did not hide his disappointment at the decision as he left the field.
“You would get 10 Indians in a room and 10 Australians in a room and they would see the Tim Paine running out in the first innings, and the 10 Indians would say ” that’s out there ‘ ‘and the 10 Australians would say’ ‘oh that’s not out there,’ ‘Harper said.
“If there had been another picture between the two of us that we were looking at, I think we would have deleted it. So the technology after 12 years of this is still not up to scratch, ”he said.
In the same game, Australian batsmen Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne were fortunate to survive in LBW appeals despite remakes showing the ball would have gone on to cut the bailiffs, inspired the legendary Sachin Tendulkar to raise doubts about the concept.
“I am not convinced by the DRS rule at all. Once you have gone upstairs to the third umpire the umpire ‘s decision on the field should not come into the picture at all, ”said Tendulkar.
“It doesn’t matter if the ball hits 10 per cent or 15% or 70% because when you bowl, it doesn’t matter. I understand that the tracking system is not 100% accurate but can you name one umpire who has never made a mistake? ”
He said it was unfair on the mattresses.
“Even if the ball is just shaving the factor and the umpire is not handed over, that decision should be reversed when they have referred to the third umpire. It’s (call the umpire) too upset and somewhere it’s unfair to bowlers too. ”
