The India v/s South Africa has been started but it is not only been in the news for the fabulous performances by many player but also due to bad umpiring.
When determining which umpires will stand in each match/series, the ICC applies the following criteria and considerations:
1)Independent of the countries involved in the match/series.
2)The best available umpires for the match/series.
3)Better performing umpires used more often.
4)Frequency of individuals appointed to same teams.
5)Workload considerations.
Depending on the above criteria ICC appoints one umpire from there panel and the other one is appointed by the Board that is hosting the tournament.
Previously also there have been many matches were due to bad umpiring many teams have to suffer losses. India too has experienced a fair share of it in the Border-Gavaskar trophy of 2007 where Steve Bockner and Mark Benson because of their bad umpiring had made some silly decisions in favour of Australia.
In the freedom series as well both teams have to face due to bad umpiring by Vineet Kulkarni. He showed his inexperience in umpiring in the 1st twenty twenty in Dharamshala where he did not gave a straight forward decision of lbw of JP Duminy who went on to win a match winning innings. Also in the Indore oneday Vineet made up for his mistake against India in the 1st t20 in favour of India where he gave Farhan Behardein out caught behind down the leg side as the ball had passed the bat without an edge. Which helped India win there 1st match in the series.
The umpires which the respective Boards appoint for an international match should at least be experienced in the domestic circuit. There should be a test of umpires as well to determine whether they are capable of umpiring in an international game. Bad umpiring make s the players a bit unsatisfied whent the decisions are not given rationally. The BCCI in this case should take care of whom they appoint as an umpire in the upcoming games.
