The data analysed here is only a subset of all dismissals adjudicated by the umpires. This analysis doesn't look at decisions that have not been officially reviewed on the field. And for that reason, the figures on the actual accuracy of umpires' decisions will be different from those presented here.
To illustrate this, say an umpire has handed out 20 decisions on the field. Out of the other ten that were reviewed, let's assume eight were overturned and only two went with the umpire.
Realistically though, there is unlikely to be such a big difference in accuracy between decisions that are reviewed and those that aren't. Those numbers are more likely to be closer to each other than otherwise. That said the following numbers are strictly an account of how umpires have fared when their decisions have been reviewed in the period under consideration.
In the two-and-a-half year period since September 28, , 18 umpires have officiated on the field in Test cricket. However, only 14 of them have stood in ten or more Test matches. The following results are presented from the data on reviews of decisions made by these 14 umpires. Joel Wilson and Ravi are the most frequently reviewed umpires, in terms of average reviews taken against their decisions per Test. Wilson is reviewed an average of 6. Ravi 6.
Of course, a more accurate indicator would have been to take reviews as a factor of the total number of decisions an umpire has taken, but we have to settle for the average-review-per-match figure because of lack of data on which umpire took what decision in a match. Michael Gough and Rod Tucker are the least reviewed at 4.
Arguably, Gough hasn't been reviewed as often as some others perhaps because he has been fairly good with his decisions. One of the two newest entrant entrants into ICC's Elite panel of umpires, Gough has had only two of his 41 on-field rulings overturned in the period under consideration, so, at Among those who have had at least ten of their decisions reviewed, Kumar Dharmasena stands next at The other new entrant into the Elite panel hasn't had such a good time officiating on the field and is almost at the other end of the spectrum.
Wilson has had 93 of his on-field rulings reviewed and has managed to stick to his decisions post review only in Help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines. The views expressed in comments published on newindianexpress.
