Cummins calls for third umpire catch changes

Pat Cummins says there must be a superior way for the third umpire to mediate on gets after Richard Kettleborough had to pursue three quarrelsome choices during the third Test. Sydney match umpires held up surveys for three gets taken low to the ground in the slips at the SCG. On each event, third umpire Kettleborough found proof the ball had contacted the ground before the defender had the option to control it. Thusly, the gets were generally not given. Cummins' colleagues Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Hazlewood recently recommended the initial step to impacting how such gets were directed is scrap the on-field umpire's delicate sign, given the third umpire upset it on two of the three events, albeit that choice presently possibly turns into a variable in the event that innovation falls flat or is inaccessible for the third umpire. "I don't actually know the responses however there must be a method for attempting and further develop it some way or another," Cummins said after the Test against South Africa finished in a draw. "As it presently stands, it's truly difficult to give a hitter out. Assuming there's any sort of opportunity to be vindicated, it goes the player's way. "I think with two or three camera points truly dialed back, it's quite hard to not track down uncertainty some place. I truly do feel for Ketts a smidgen up there." In going with a choice, the third umpire just approaches film from the host telecaster, Fox Sports and not from Seven Organization cameras. "Perhaps there's additional cameras we can use down the track," Cummins said. South Africa skipper Dignitary Elgar was apparently baffled when his side was forced to bear the first non-get call yet at stumps said he was satisfied the umpires stayed predictable all through the match. "The manner in which the umpires led the three was very great. I think it was splendid," he said. "Whenever you've set the bar with the first, you can't actually move much from that point. "Those things are continuously going to be a hazy situation, a few people will say out, a few people will express not out. By the day's end, their choice is conclusive and as players we regard that."
