After seeing yesterdays match at Sydney, I think there are certain rules that ICC should immediately incorporate in its rules book

• Ricky Pointing(The most honest cricketer of his era, do not question his integrity) to be considered as the fourth umpire in all the matches involving Australia. Whatever he decides should be considered as last decision. If you fail to accept it, you may be charged by a 3 match ban.



• When the Australian team is bowling, if the ball flies anywhere near the Australian fielder the batsman is to be considered out. In case of disputes umpires can consult Ricky Pointing.
• While batting Australian players will wait for the umpire’s decision even if they have edged the ball to first slip. Each Australian batsman will have to out four times (minimum) before he returns to the pavilion. And if the player has lot of integrity the number can go as high as umpires feels fair enough.
• If a Australian player gets a century, a extra check of the $10000 will be awarded to the umpires for every wrong decision that has helped the player to get to his century.

Buy the way, I was really disappointed when Andrew Symonds was announced as the man of the match. I thought the right person for the trophy was either Steve Bucknor or Mark Benson.

Symonds you should have shared that prize money with the two umpires. If they were not there you wouldn’t have scored a 50 also. This kind of gesture does not suit players like you who have so much of integrity.
