Snedden wants technology on ICC meeting agenda Lynn McConnell - 16 January 2002
Future use of technology will be placed on the agenda for the International Cricket Council meeting to be held in Christchurch on February 10-11. New Zealand Cricket's chief executive Martin Snedden commented after yesterday's controversial moment in the New Zealand-South Africa VB Series match in Hobart when umpire Daryl Harper made a wrong call on a Chris Cairns appeal for a caught and bowled dismissal in the vital last overs against South African batsman Mark Boucher. Harper indicated he thought the dismissal was a bump ball but the television replay, which Harper was not entitled to check with the third umpire, clearly showed Boucher was out. Following an incident in the first New Zealand-Australia Test in Brisbane when Justin Langer was given not out from a bump ball after a third umpire opinion, the ICC ruled that such matters could not be referred to the third umpire. Snedden was aware of the changed ruling and for this reason would like to see more discussion from the ICC's Cricket Committee Management, or all the chief executive officers of the ICC, in Christchurch. "My view still is that if the technology is 100 per cent accurate and quick then we should use it. "New Zealand is more inclined to say, 'Let's use the technology' but other countries are not quite so concerned and have conflicting views," he said. © CricInfo
