AUS vs SA | Cricket Australia to review the possibility of providing increased camera feeds to umpires, reveals CEO Nick Hockley

Interestingly, the call was made after the third-umpire saw the side on reviews and was confident enough even to turn the on-field soft decision of out. Yet, footage from behind the wickets released by the SEVEN Network raised doubt amongst players, critics and spectators alike but the umpires were denied the blame considering they only had access to the feed of the Fox cameras. In light of the controversy, Cricket Australia CEO Nick Kockley has admitted some changes need to be made to the procedures. 

"The broadcasting of cricket is probably the most complicated of any of the major sports," he told SEN. "We have a huge number of cameras. Yesterday was really, really fine margins. The match referees and umpires are making the best calls they can with the information they have available. It's something we will think about and have a look at and review. We'll have a look at it after the end of the Test match," he was quoted saying to SEN by ESPN Cricinfo.

"It was extremely frustrating, particularly the combination of light and rain. Clearly, the rules [about low light] are there with safety in mind. I think changing of the ball during play is really problematic. I think that introduces a little bit too much variability into the game. I'm hopeful that with lighting upgrades, there's a big move to LEDs from the traditional bulbs, that we'll see fewer and fewer of these types of delays," he said of the issue.
