"The decisions of the match referee can be best described as being inconsistent targeted against only one participating team," BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya told reporters in Kolkata. He said Board secretary Niranjan Shah had met ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed, now in Mumbai, on Tuesday and demanded that Denness be replaced for the third Test. "Alternatively, the match referee's decisions should be kept in abeyance and be judged by a neutral panel consisting of reputed persons," Mr. Dalmiya said. Mr. Dalmiya said that Speed had promised to take up the matter with ICC president Malcolm Gray and get back to the BCCI by Wednesday. "We are awaiting the ICC's response before deciding our future course of action," said Mr. Dalmiya. The BCCI has informed the ICC that in place of Denness it would welcome any ICC panel referee even from South Africa to officiate in the third Test beginning November 24 in Johannesburg. "If no panel referee was available, any former cricketer of repute is acceptable to us," Dalmiya said. in-depth coverage > Indian Cricket Team's South Africa Tour > |
