Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer today questioned Michael Vaughan’s controversial fielding tactics, saying he would seek clear guidelines from Test officials.
“We would like the ICC match referee and umpires to give a clear definition of how the relevant law is to be read after what happened in Pindi,” Woolmer said.
Woolmer was reacting to Vaughan’s ploy of moving his fielders while the ball is being bowled, a tactic — in contravention to Law 41, section 7 — employed by the England captain during his team’s opening tour match against the Patron’s XI last week.
Woolmer wants more clarity before the Test series starts.
“I can understand the principle behind the ploy by Vaughan but we have to be clear on whether the law allows such things and that should be clear before the Tests,” he said.
The first Test starts at Multan on November 12.
