With people busy discussing teams and players, I thought these men in white coats deserve a thread of their own.
Linked here is the Umpire appointments for the matches. What is quite surprising is that the number of match referees has reduced substantially.
Javagal Srinath seems to have opted out after being elected as the Secretary of his State Cricket Association. A couple of new faces are in too- Roshan Mahanama.
As for the umpires, well one sure is going to miss Steve Bucknor and David Shepherd in this World Cup.
Any guesses as to who might get the final match ?
My bet is on Aleem Dar and Billy Bowden.
