“It was a tough session tonight but it's the umpires' call on the light, ... It was disappointing to lose two wickets but we've got a new day tomorrow to bat on and hopefully post a score that is defendable.”
James Franklin
“We've moved on as a team. This is a good umpiring crew ? even the umpire that's gone through all of this. He's done a great job. I just hope all this doesn't become nasty today.”
Mickey Hatcher
“I think this the umpire who decide any one out or not out rather the umpires are in better position to answer.”
Rahul Dravid
“The umpires are closer than we are. We tried to see the replay, but it was tough to tell.”
Edgardo Alfonzo
“The suggestions that umpires award free kicks without regard to the merits [of a free kick], that umpiring is not a worthwhile pursuit for kids and that umpires should put their egos in a locker are offensive and damaging.”
Adrian Anderson
“The system is in place whereby if an umpire cries off, or both as was the case here, those umpires are to be replaced,”
Mark Webber
“I look at the grand final last year: the three umpires that umpired that game were outstanding. I think on that particular day, it was a case of, 'we know what the rules are, we know what the fans want to see, we know how we want to umpire it, let's just stick to those three principles'.”
