Subash Modi, who recently retired from international umpiring, has been engaged by the ICC Africa regional office as an umpiring consultant until at least December 2012. Modi joined the Associate and Affiliate panel of umpires in 2006 and remains extensively involved in Kenya’s umpiring structures. “It would be foolhardy for the ICC Africa region not to utilise the experience and knowledge of this wonderful umpire,” said Africa regional development manager Cassim Suliman. “We are hoping that Modi will be able to play a dual role in the Africa region, firstly…

The Pakistan Cricket Board has enforced a new policy of grading the performance of umpires in the wake of complaints against sub-standard umpiring in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final.
WELLINGTON: Captain Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan combined for a 142-run stand to put Pakistan in a commanding position against New Zealand at tea on the third day of the second Test Monday. New Zealand needed a poor umpiring decision to break the partnership with the last ball before tea, when Jesse Ryder caught Younis at short leg off a Daniel Vettori delivery that TV replays showed missed the bat. Khan, whose 73 included 10 boundaries, departed shaking his head, the latest to fall in a spate of umpiring decisions in the two-Test series that replays have shown to be questionable. However, there is no provision in the match rules for the captains to appeal to the third official. Pakistan, looking to overhaul New Zealand’’s first innings 356, will take some comfort in the progress Younis and Misbah made after Azhar Ali (67) added only five to his overnight total. After that breakthrough from Black Caps” paceman Chris Martin, the frustrated New Zealand bowlers toiled for little reward on a flat track at Wellington’’s Basin Reserve. Making his fifth Test half century in five innings, Misbah offered no chances as he went into the tea break on 70. Forecasters predict bad weather will threaten play on Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning a big total could secure the two-Test series for Pakistan after the tourists easily wrapped up the first Test inside three days. Vettori’’s late strike gave him figures of two for 75 from 34 overs.

Did Dickie Bird ever have to make an umpiring decision involving a family member?
