Australia Firmly in Control in First New Zealand Test SPORTS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2016 Replay drama works in Australia’s favor WELLINGTON: Australia’s players feared another backlash from New Zealand fans after a contentious no ball decision went in their favor in the final over of the first day’s play of the first test yesterday. Adam Voges was batting on seven when he was bowled by Doug Bracewell with two deliveries remaining in the day’s play, only for umpire Richard Illingworth to signal a no ball. Television replays, however, showed the delivery was legal but because the no ball had been called New Zealand were unable to ask for a review. Australia finished the day on 147 for three, 36 runs behind New Zealand’s first innings tally of 183. The replay had the potential to create a backlash against the Australians similar to that they experienced after the final one- day international at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Monday. In that match, Mitchell Marsh was given not out caught and bowled on 41 with his side in charge of their run chase, only for the crowd to erupt into a chorus of boos when they saw a replay on the big screen that showed he had been dismissed. Marsh was then given out, creating an angry response from the all- rounder and batting partner Matthew Wade, while captain Steve Smith was booed at the end of the game when he questioned the decision. Australian media criticized the Hamilton crowd, calling them ‘feral’, while suggesting the controversy from the underarm bowling incident from a 1981 one-day match between the two sides had now been put to bed. Unlike in Hamilton, however, WELLINGTON: Adam Voges (center) of Australia is bowled but it was called a no ball during the first cricket Test match the replay was not shown immediately on the big screen at the between New Zealand and Australia at the Basin Reserve. — AFP Basin Reserve yesterday. Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said his side had been concerned about the Voges decision when they Australia firmly in control saw replays. “We were just hoping it didn’t come up on the big screen too quickly,” he laughed at a media conference. “(But) the umpires had made the decision. That’s what they’re there for, to in first New Zealand Test make those tough decisions and that’s how it went.” New Zealand shrugged off the decision, having not seen the WELLINGTON: It was supposed to be his 100th Test celebrations fall flat when Anderson, who with BJ Watling went replay on the field. “That’s cricket I suppose.

    AUTUMN 2020 NEWSLETTER of WALES ACO Welcome to the AUTUMN Newsletter from WALES ACO-keeping you informed of developments in the UMPIRING and SCORING World around WALES. 2020 THE SEASON THAT NEARLY WASN’T Well we finally got there after months of fretting that there wouldn’t be any cricket in 2020, in late July we were given the go ahead to start the 2020 season. Full credit must go to CRICKET WALES for their behind the scenes efforts in persuading the politicians that CRICKET was safe to return. We saw a number of protocols put in place e.g. running lanes, hand sanitising and limiting the number of people in the playing “bubble” First out of the blocks were GUERNSEY and former WALES ACO and VALE CRICKET CLUB member CARL BROOKS officiated in the first game. Carl has kindly penned and article for us which you can find later in this NEWSLETTER. We thank Carl and send our best wishes to him and all our friends and colleagues involved in Cricket in Guernsey The Leagues were condensed into smaller groups or “Clusters” to add a competitive edge. The response of scorers and umpires was remarkable with excellent availability. It has to be understood that a few of our members, quite rightly, decided that it wasn’t appropriate for them to officiate and this is fully understood and appreciated, who hope to see them all back fit and well for the 2021 season. One disappointment was that the North Wales League decided not to have appointed Umpires which, although a good number of Umpires found games, didn’t help in the attracting of new Umpires.
