Ashes 2019: Ricky Ponting calls for best umpires over neutral ones
Birmingham, Aug 2: 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. In fact, the very first dismissal of the series - David Warner - was a wrong decision by the umpire as the ball seemed to be missing the stumps on reply. But the umpire gave Warner out and he too walked back without reviewing the decision. And former skipper Ricky Ponting feels it is time that the best in the business officiate in the top series.
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.
