i wonder why this has only just been mentioned?
it obviously is because the aussies want to get the ashes back regardless of the means.
i am not saying their umpires wouldnt intend to be neutral but the acb think it gives them an advantage.
the best in the world are probably the aussies umpires but you have to use neutrals to avoid any bad feelings towards the umpires from the players.
