Umpire thread (not wambulance)

I think we can all agree there would be no problem having Australian or English umpires officiate in these series. The "neutral" umpire rule is only really necessary where subcontinental teams are playing, everyone knows that.

To me, it should be all about who are the 12 best umpires in the world. If that means 6 from Australia and 6 from England then so be it. If it gets into a situation where some of the best umpires from say Australia are missing out because there's a quota, we'll just see more Tony Hill type of situations with inferior umpires standing in games I tend to think.
