Ricky Ponting calls for umpiring changes after disastrous day one of Ashes Test

India TV News  

The opening day of the first Ashes Test between England and Australia not only saw a quality century from Steve Smith, but also some pretty poor umpiring decisions from Aleem Dar and Joel Wilson. Ponting, who is part of the MCC's Cricket Committee, feels the 2002 rule that only neutral umpires can officiate in games must be changed and also went on to say that he will ensure that the issue is discussed at their next MCC meeting. "I would like to think the game has come far enough now for the game to not have neutral umpires," Ponting told cricket.com.au. "It could force umpires into retirement a bit early as well when someone like Simon Taufel is spending most of his life, which is a bit harder than spending your time in Australia.
