Umpires and DRS

A very interesting article on how the current elite panel
umpires fair with DRS, as well as its two most recent former
members, Gould and Ravi.
Whilst there is the huge caviar of it only considering decisions
reviewed, these statistics show Michael Gough in a very
favourable light. I think he has been a great addition to the
panel and will go on to have a very successful career.
At the other end of the spectrum, no surprise to see Joel Wilson
down there. However, Nigel Llong and Chris Gaffaney are very
close to Wilson in accuracy!

Copied across from the appointments thread as being more
relevant perhaps under general discussion:
Article in today's Times with the headline 'Covid will end
neutral umpiring but really DRS did that long ago'. This move,
if adopted, would obviate the need for elite umpires to travel
vast distances in these times of travel difficulties, but it is
expected that such a move could become permanent. I assume the
umpire operating DRS would still need to be neutral.

Didn't want to start a new thread so have piggy backed this one.
I was very surprised at what I thought were underwhelming
performances by Richard Kettleborough and Richard Illingworth in
the recent Test series, especially as both have won the David
Shepherd Trophy. I retain a lot of respect for both and it
made me wonder whether, just as England perhaps is seen as one
of the most difficult countries to bat in, maybe umpiring is
more difficult too.
Although both of course still have some county duty I did wonder
whether Michael Gough, who had two brilliant series, was more
attuned to the level of movement in English conditions.
I wonder which of the emerging English umpires will eventually
join the Elite Panel. I've been interested to see the
development of Martin Saggers. After his first year on the
county circuit an experienced player told me that he was not
highly thought of on the circuit. He seems to have made great
strides since and hasn't looked out of place in the
International matches I've seen this summer.

Good interview with Gough mentioned on BBC Sport website.
