After watching the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification
(1)
Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND
WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the
FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE's decision is final
and will override any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD
umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on
the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should
understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies
anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the
batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was
taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should
be sought from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the
cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the
ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH
SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN
batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the
pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an
AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored
as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the
AUSTRALIAN team and board .
(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep
commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should
never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN
team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as
RACISM only.
(6) MATCH REFEREE decisions will be taken purely on the
AUSTRALIAN TEAM's advice only. Player views from the other teams
decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFEREES are to be
given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.
(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
(8)
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - "THE
UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than
twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This
is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break
records and create history in the game of CRICKET.
These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.
