On-field and third umpire conversations to be telecast in the future.

ICC is going the whole hog.

They have become a totally with it organisation.

Consider their latest contemplation:

And if the umpires, referral system works to satisfaction, the International Cricket Council (ICC) will allow the live telecast of the communication between the on-field and the third umpire in future, the official added.


WTF! Just imagine being privy to all the scintillating conversations between the black-coats.

This is indeed a momentous occasion.

Doubt it R. Umpires strike me to be singularly dour characters.:)

My guess is, it will sound like a management meeting - each trying only to cover their own mistakes :)

"is he out or not?"
"Yes he is out .Flex ur ind fing"
or
"not out.Get those guys to go ahead"
This will be the standard coneversation. U dont expect the umpires to argue with one another.
BTW the umpires looked relaxed while referals were made to the thirdy in the srilanka test. They are enjoying this no responsibility work.
