ICC backs umpire reviews for 2011 World Cup
The Committee of ICC Cricket, after its annual meeting at Lord's, has recommended that the referee Decision Review System (NAUs) applies to the Cup 2011 in Word on the subcontinent and introduced "as soon as possible" in all test series. The committee, chaired by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd, also decided to examine the laws that fought against the fielding side: you said the practice of the non-striker to back up while the ball was being delivered should be discouraged, as is batters changing its control before the bowler entered his delivery stride.
The most important decision concerned the NAUs, as implemented since its introduction in July 2008 has been inconsistent in terms of the series which has been used. Now, however, the committee has asked the ICC to be introduced "as soon as possible" in all test series. It has also recommended that the system will be used throughout the World Cup next year in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, with the same limit of two entries, references in the evidence.
That, however, be agreed with the ICC broadcast partners ESPN Star Sports, which should bear the cost of implementing the system. The committee also recommended the introduction of a minimum standard of technology, the ball tracking technology, including the third-fourth official, and the annual reviews of technology and equipment.
The system has received mixed reviews from players and referees. Dispute landed in Johannesburg during the test between England and South Africa in January 2010, when a caught behind appeal was rejected by the third judge Daryl Harper. In an attempt to eliminate any inconsistency, the court decided he had to comply with all broadcasters, in an attempt to standardize the use of technology, and organized a workshop earlier this year.
David Morgan, the outgoing president of the ICC, had said that day-night Test matches was a possibility in the near future with India and Australia as potential hosts. The International Criminal Court, in examining the ways in which these games will be played out, said the issue needs more study.
The ICC also agreed to review the law allowing non-strikers back up too far while the ball is being delivered, giving them an unfair advantage in an attempt to complete a race. "ICC Cricket Committee agreed that batters trying to steal the ground when the player is running in bowling is not advisable. They will look at regulations that require a hitter to stay in his crease land until the front foot of the bowler."
On the positive transition, the ICC said that a bowler reserves the right not to bowl if he saw the batter grip change before going on its way to delivery. "If the bowler to see a batter to change the grip or the position before the delivery stride the player can not decide in a bowl the ball." The switch affected had given a clear all in the MCC - the guardian of the laws of cricket in 2008.
