What fortress? 🤷♂️ 9WWOS Ashes
In the Edgbaston test, Joel Wilson had eight decisions overturned following decisions that he made. That figure equals the record for the statistically worst umpiring performance in a single Test since the inception of the Decision Review System in January, 2011. He joins India's Sundaram Ravi and Kumar Dharmasena of Sri Lanka as the unlucky record holders.
Between the pair, there were no less than nine dismissals overturned on review through the match, whilst that number balloons to 15 when including mistakes where no review was made, but technology subsequently showed the incorrect decision was given."Without DRS, this Test would have been chaos," Healy said.
Continuing, the ex-Test wicket-keeper said that, like the players, umpires should be held accountable when their performance isn't up to scratch. "I've got faith in the umpires' boss to make the right call. For Wilson, I hope that this bad day becomes a story that he gets to tell when he finishes his very successful 60-game career."This will do nothing to quieten calls for an adjustment of the rules that deny umpires the chance to umpire a Test involving a team from their country."We need to give umpires incentives to umpire in their home countries, and we need to pick the best people available.
