ICC cautious on tech

Afp, Sydney
World cricket's governing body said Monday it was taking a cautious approach to extending the use of video technology in the sport following its mixed trial at the Super Series in Australia.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) used the three one-dayers and Test match between Australia and the Rest of the World to experiment with referring appeals to a third or video umpire for adjudication.
Even though the intent was to take the human element out of the decision-making, there was a feeling that some decisions were still inconclusive even after repeated viewings of slow-motion video replays.
ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed emphasised to reporters that the expanded use of technology was in its trial stage after first being used at the 2002 Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka.
"What we've done here is put technology on trial in a Test match for the first time," he said, explaining that
umpires are consulting with the third umpires in the grandstand but the decision remains with the on-field umpire.
"We're taking a cautious approach. There are those who argue that we should be using every aspect of technology that's available and there are those that argue we shouldn't adopt any of it."
Speed said one innovation that seemed to go well in the Australian series was wiring the match umpires to catch sounds at the batsman's end of the pitch to aid in leg before wicket and catching appeals.
But one of the Test umpires, South African Rudi Koertzen, is not a fan of the expanded use of video technology in cricket.
"We all make mistakes and I think the players actually make more mistakes than the umpires do," he said in a television interview before the start of Monday's final day in the Super Test, which Australia won by 210 runs.
"So they should leave it up to us to make the mistakes. We've got to live with that," he said.
"That is only a trial. Who knows how far they're going to take it?
Hopefully not too far."
Koertzen, 56, and Australian Simon Taufel are regarded as the two best umpires in world cricket.
World XI skipper Graeme Smith said he was not convinced that the use of technology in the Super Series made for more accurate decisions by umpires.
"There's a lot of things that need to be looked at with the technology and it's a long way from being at the level where it can be used," he said.
Asked if it improved the umpire's accuracy, he replied: "No."
Australian skipper Ricky Ponting said he hasn't discussed the technology with his team and may take the issue to the national players' union.
"We'll have a look at different areas of the Test match but the technology side of it will come up," Ponting said.
"There will be lots of different views and opinions on it. It'll be good to put all our thoughts and ideas together and present that to the ACA (players' union) and see where it goes from there.”
