Chappell blames ICC for poor umpiring standards

Chappell, who was speaking in the backdrop of the Sydney Test which was marred by on-field skirmishes between players of the two teams and poor umpiring decisions, said umpires were not afraid to take big decisions.

8220;Now you8217;ve got this stupidity of captains being asked to dob in the opposition for racial slurs. It8217;s ridiculous.

8220;So I think once you start diluting the decision-making process of the umpires, you get a bunch of umpires who really don8217;t want to make decisions,8221; he was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun.

8220;They are happier referring decisions or somebody else, taking it out of their hands. So if you are going to breed umpires like that, then no, they haven8217;t got the capability of running the game on the field.8221;
