What do you make of George Bailey?

[Yanna_Rascala]

It was just a banter. As a professional cricket unit every team does their homework against opposition, even if its a lower tier 8th rank team like Pak. Let alone a 2nd rank ODI unit like India.

I am sure this line of Bailey must have made your day though

[HitWicket]

Found it funny how Dhoni got halfway through agreeing with the suggestion that umpires are biased against India because they don't use DRS then presumably either realised the stupidity of what he was saying or that it would result in a fine, and either way cut his sentence short.

no technology is perfect but if it helps; all teams should use it! I guess to correct umpires errors; DRS came into being!

Bring back home umpires : George Bailey

Tasmania and Australia ODI rep believes time has come to put faith in home-based officials for internationals

http://www.cricket.com.au/news/geor...-cricket-rule-neutral-rules-stupid/2016-11-13

Australia ODI batsman George Bailey says it’s time for umpires to be allowed to stand in Tests in their own country.

To remove any potential home team bias, one neutral umpire was introduced as an experiment and fully adopted two years later, with two neutral umpires becoming mandatory in Test cricket from 2002.

But with the introduction of the Decision Review System and the advancements in technology and analysis tools such as ball tracking, Hot Spot and Real Time Snicko, Bailey says now is the time to let umpires officiate on their home turf in the five-day game.

“I think that now the technology is so good … I want to see the best umpires umpiring the series,” Bailey told The Unplayable Podcast on Sunday as he discussed the merits of a raft of possible rule changes.

“At the moment if you’re an Australian umpire you can’t be umpiring Australians in Tests and you can’t umpire in Australia. I think that’s really disappointing for the umpires. I just think you want the best umpires umpiring the best Test series. "

“It was brought in to take out perceived bias but I’m not sure you get that now. I think that would be the quickest way to make the best decisions in Test and one-day cricket, is to have the best umpires umpiring.”

With India finally adopting the DRS in their current series against England, albeit on a trial basis, every Test playing nation is now supporting the use of technology in cricket.

While the odd decision still raises eyebrows (see: Mitchell Marsh’s second innings dismissal in Perth), the DRS still delivers 98-99 per cent correct decisions, according to ICC General Manager – Cricket, Geoff Allardice.

When asked if substitutions should be allowed in Test cricket to replace an injured player, Bailey could see both sides of the coin, but ultimately stuck with keeping the rule as is due in large to the stunning effort in Perth last week when the Proteas rallied to pull off an incredible win without their injured spearhead Dale Steyn.

“I’m a bit torn with this one,” Bailey said. “I think one of the great things about Test cricket is how hard it is physically. “That challenge of if you bat a long time in the first innings and really tire the bowlers out, tire the fielders out in the opposition team so they’re a bit tired when they bat and when they come out in the second innings they’re fatigued, might be down on pace and you might be able to cash in, I think that’s one of the great tests."

“It’s really difficult when you see one of the bowlers get injured early in the game and it puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the bowlers. But what a marvellous response it was (by the Proteas in Perth). What we did see from South Africa was one of the great performances from (man of the match Kagiso) Rabada and the legend of his bowling and his career grew out of that. “So at the moment I’d like to keep it the way it is.”

While Bailey liked the idea of introducing red and yellow cards for poor sledging, the 34-year-old was not a fan on introducing a ‘Delivery Clock’ that would give a bowler a nominal amount of time to bowl each delivery or incur a five run penalty.

“I think that’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard," he added. "That is ridiculous.”

 

[The_Odd_One]

Is he saying that only Australian umpires are the best?

 

[MenInG]

He has a point regrading the fact that with DRS absolute howlers have been eliminated

Obviously home umpires should be the top umpires from the country and maybe icc can certify them

 

[shariqnoor]

I'm for the idea. With DRS firmly in place, the chance of partiality becomes negligible. If the home umpires choose to favor the home team, they will soon fall out of the Elite panel because the scrutiny is tight nowadays. The neutral umpire system was good when we didn't have this much scrutiny and technology available. Now the neutral system is redundant as far as I'm concerned.

Also one more umpire can get exposure and experience

 

[shariqnoor]

Precisely. Also with umpires being allowed to officiate home games, there would be less burnout. Remember the Simon Taufel case? He got so fed up of traveling every time that he chose to retire and focus on his family. At the end of the day, constant traveling does take a toll. Mental fatigue also affects umpiring decisions.

 

[IAJ]

Umpires still have alot to say so we should continue with neutral umpires. I was watching the first Test between India and Eng yesterday and on some occasions Ashwin just sort of bat-padded some deliveries from Moeen Ali. It appeared like he wasn't offering shot and an this is totally up to the umpire to decide, had the on field umpire given it out it would have stayed out as the DRS had everything covered. But since the umpire saw this as playing the shot nothing happend.

 

[Zaz]

I dont agree The margins with the DRS are still with the umpire so any bias would affect decision making

Neutral umpires are still the way to go untill the above is not the case

 

[Convict]

It's an interesting point situation.

We have 10 (or 12) umpires we believe are the best in the world but we also don't trust them to act professionally and not be biased.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Yes. With DRS this can be done but in all major sports they don't have home umpires out of fear/ back lash.

Imagine a WC knock out match where a team has run out of reviews and is given a reprieve by a home umpire and changes the match result. All hell will break loose

Rules are never made for exceptional circumstances. Also your point isn't valid because if you run out of reviews, it means you didn't trust the umpire in the first place with his correct decision and you got your decisions wrong yourself. No point blaming the umpire afterwards if he makes a mistake and you don't have reviews left.

 

[Gilly]

Not being able to umpire at home would stop a lot of good umpires taking up the job.

 

[spade]

Absolutely Stupid idea, Mr Bailey is perhaps attributing the loss of the Aussies to poor umpiring, its a hilarious suggestion to be honest.

Neutral umpires are the way forward infact, i am surprised why ODI's and T20's don't have 2 neutral umpires just like Test matches, perhaps they are not accorded the same status as Tests, in ICC events you have neutral umpires. Its not like the best of the umpires never make mistakes, with the change of laws more umpires are making mistakes in ball tracking and it will take some time to get used to the laws.

 

[spade]

Seriously that's what you took from the article.

Do you really think the timing of his statement, at a time when the Australian Cricket team is going through one of its lowest point, a mere coincidence ??

Lets try to be objective here, neutral umpires can eliminate the bias in marginal decisions and the scrutiny of that particular individual will be less, case in point Aleem Dar's strange decision to adjudge Smith lbw of Maharaj's bowling, had Marais Erasmus given that out while officiating don't you think it would have raised more eyebrows and the decision would still be deemed OUT....

Excellent posts.

Agreed.

Watching home umpires officiating will also inspire others and lead to more quality umpires coming in.

I think this move can be done AFTER we find a permanent solution for the umpire's call issue because umpire's say matters a lot even with DRS. A plumb lbw (on TV) not given can clip the stumps when DRS is used and be given not out. Can cause a lot of frustration for players.

So DRS needs to get better after which this move can be executed.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

No thanks. Already fans from other countries blame india for doctoring pitches then they will blame india for influencing their home umpires too. �0‡2nd it has happened in the past. Umpires like AV Jayaprakash used to give controversial decisions.

There are limited number of reviews available. Also why fix something which is not broken?

 

[Jan Sher]

His argument is really weak. Not need for it.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Because it is broken.

Just that its less broken than prev system.

You can lose a perfectly good review for an umpiring mistake which can technically let a batsman/bowler escape.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Umpires should be neutral

 

[Mamoon]

I think he makes a very good point.

 

[90MPH]

I like Bailey but don't agree at all.

Umpires are still making many decisions on the field and of course in an ideal world it should be about the best people for the best jobs but it doesn't work like that for certain fields and cricket is one of those.

I remember the blatant bias in the early 90s regarding home umpires and the controversy it brought so glad this is something they have fixed and hopefully remains the case.

 

[Buffet]

I prefer neutral umpires.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Because it is broken.

Just that its less broken than prev system.

You can lose a perfectly good review for an umpiring mistake which can technically let a batsman/bowler escape.

How is it broken? How will home umpires improve the standard of umpiring world wide? Is Dharmasena suddenly going to transform into Dickie Bird?

 

[aloo paratha]

And what if the team runs out of reviews?? It's fine the way it is, doesn't really matter.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How is it broken? How will home umpires improve the standard of umpiring world wide? Is Dharmasena suddenly going to transform into Dickie Bird?

Broken as in umpire's decision matters a lot when it comes to umpires call. Every plumb dismissal doesn't have to hit the middle of stumps. Some can clip too in which case even with DRS, howlers can be committed.

Yes....home umpires will do a great deal in inspiring others to take up this field. Imagine Aleem Dar umiring in Pak games, S Ravi umpiring in Indian games, etc....just like players, sometimes a spark of inspiration can help

If DRS is rock solid (which it is not), then its not a bad idea at all to have home umpires.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We are still figuring out how to setup DRS rules in a way that wrong decisions can be reduced to zero.

 

[jeetu]

It could work if Visiting teams are given more reviews than home team.

 

[Canistani Hero]

No need. Neutral is fine. Best umpires not from playing countries should be incharge anyway

 

[kingusama92]

Not worth the hassle.

The ICC doesn't need to deal with constant shouts of bias every time something goes wrong. Plus, umpires still have a lot of say in many aspects of the game including the dreaded "umpire's call."

The DRS alone isn't sufficient to bring back home umpires.

 

[BD-fan]

Umpiring is taxing just like the players. They have to travel abroad from their family to be in a test. Home games would allow them some time to be in their country.

Having said that, the review counts should be increased because not all countries have the best, almost flawless umpires.

"Really excited to play against Pakistan, a team that's playing some pretty hot cricket" : G Bailey

HAMPSHIRE captain George Bailey was left out of the World XI that lost the opening match of its historic T20 series against Pakistan in Lahore.

But he may play on Wednesday after pulling out of Hampshire’s Specsavers County Championship match against Middlesex at Uxbridge to play in the ‘T20 Independence Cup’.

“I’m 35 years old now and there aren’t many places around the world I haven’t played cricket - but Pakistan’s one of them,” he explained.

“I’m really excited to get there to play against a team that’s playing some pretty hot cricket and some of my favourite guys to play against.

“I think it’s really exciting for Pakistanis.

“Personally, seeing Glenn McGrath bowl and Ricky Ponting bat are two of the main things that drove me to become a professional cricketer.

“So I think it’s a huge opportunity for Pakistanis to see their own heroes in the flesh and for a lot of the Pakistani team that haven’t had an opportunity to play at home, which is quite phenomenal.”

Last night’s game, which Pakistan won by 20 runs, was the first international cricket match held in Pakistan since Zimbabwe toured in 2015 - and the second since an attack on Sri Lanka’s team bus in the host venue in 2009 - and the tourists were protected by high security.

After the first day of Hampshire’s Championship match against Middlesex fell victim to the weather, director of cricket Giles White defended the decision to release Bailey.

He said: “It seemed the right thing to do in this instance, it’s great for George to be selected.

“You get players who become unavailable because of international cricket - we’re also missing Liam Dawson to England.

“Every team has these issues.

“Middlesex have lost two players to Ireland, that’s where the depth of squad comes into it.

“We’ve got young players involved in this game and it will be invaluable for their development. Hopefully they learn from it.”

The Lahore series concludes on Saturday in time for Bailey to return for Hampshire’s penultimate Championship match against leaders Essex at The Ageas Bowl from next Tuesday.

Babar Azam hit 86 off just 52 balls to put Pakistan 1-0 up.

A 122-run second-wicket stand between Babar and Ahmed Shehzad (39 off 35 balls) set the hosts on their way before a quickfire 38 off 20 deliveries from Shoaib Malik set the World XI a lofty target of 198, with Sri Lanka’s Thisara Perera (2-51) the pick of the bowlers.

The tourists, led by Faf du Plessis, have a star -studded line-up including Tamim Iqbal, Hashim Amla and ex-Hampshire overseas player Darren Sammy, who hit an unbeaten 29.

[hadi123]

Good comments from George Bailey. He's a good player; I'm surprised he is no longer in the Australia LOI squads. Nice to hear many of the World XI are actually interested in seeing Pakistan; it's quite interesting for tourists who haven't been there.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Surprised that he wasn't in the XI yesterday, definitely a massive upgrade over someone like Tim Paine. And he can stand behind the stumps for 20 overs..

 

[KyoOne]

Elliot and Cutting should be replaced by Badree and Bailey.

Will strengthen both batting and bowling

 

[Hasan123]

Hope he gets a game.

George Bailey: Why I destroyed the World Cup Trophy

https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricke...f/news-story/b1270574af90c74bcd8147091f4423cf

AN orange vest and a screw from the trophy — the two mementos George Bailey took from Australia’s glorious 2015 World Cup campaign.
The vest explains itself. The popular Tasmanian had worn it for the majority of the tournament as Australia’s 12th man for all but one game. He even donned it at Federation Square when the team celebrated its victory with the Australian public.

The screw? Well, it turns out Bailey managed to break the trophy in half while the team celebrated its seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

“I’d been sitting on the trophy for most of the evening, and it felt sturdy, it’s a good trophy” Bailey said on the Grade Cricketer’s final podcast of the home summer. “Someone remarked that ‘I’m not sure sitting on it is a good idea in case it breaks.’

“I was standing at the time and I said: ‘Nah, look it’s as strong as anything’ and I donkey kicked it and it just snapped.

“It snapped in two and we had the civic reception at Fed Square about four hours later.”

While the rest of the Australian team spent the early hours of the morning sleeping off the night before, Bailey was dashing around the city looking for help.

“I’ve never sobered up so quickly, frantically going through the Yellow Pages looking for a welder to get this thing back together.

“I’m heading around Melbourne trying to get this thing fixed and it gets fixed but it’s not in A1 condition.”

Forget about A1 condition — by the time Bailey got back to the team hotel the trophy was in such fragile health that he had to lead an impromptu team meeting.

“I take the World Cup into the team room and say, ‘Lads, it’s back in one piece but the rule is today if you’re going to pick it up, pick it up using both handles, preferably two people holding it at all times if we can.’”

Alas, there was one big absentee from the team talk — the captain.

“He walked in five minutes later, picked it up one handed and the whole thing just fell apart again.”

Fortunately for Bailey, it turned out the ICC was prepared for such a situation.

“I’m thinking this is a disaster, and our media manager says ‘that’s okay, we’ll just use a replica’. So I missed four hours of valuable sleep time. I needed that sleep.”

At least Bailey got a lovely keepsake from the whole affair.

“My two World Cup mementos are the orange 12th man vest and one of the screws out of the trophy from when I broke it.”

Well when you have 5 you can treat the trophy like that I guess.

 

[Suleiman]

I hate careless people like that. I'm very OCD towards my valuables, and just reading the first few paragraphs of this article made me uncomfortable and angry.

 

[hadi123]

That's hilarious. Lucky they had a back up.

 

[Hasan123]

Hahaha funny story. Bailey is certainly a character.

 

[WC-Passion]

That's one way to treat a world cup

 

[DeadBall]

Yes, Donkey kick would be an apt term in this situation.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Don't think it's funny.

Just shows selfishness and idiocy.

Cricket Australia shifts gears with George Bailey appointed to selection panel

Former Australian Twenty20 captain George Bailey has reportedly won the race to join the three-man national selection panel.

Still playing in the Sheffield Shield for Tasmania, his appointment – set to be announced this week – marks a shift for Cricket Australia.

Bailey, 37, will fill the vacancy left by the 71-year-old coaching veteran Greg Chappell.

CA has rarely had a selector with such recent playing experience, though Michael Clarke had a fraught stint on an expanded panel during his time as Australian captain.

But Bailey's relevance and understanding of the modern game is partly behind his employment, with T20 cricket to form a significant part of his portfolio.

Mark Waugh, a Test and ODI star through the 1990s, combined Big Bash League commentary with the role of lead T20 selector before he stepped down last year.

Bailey had been locked in a battle with fellow domestic stalwart Michael Klinger to work alongside chief selector Trevor Hohns and national coach Justin Langer.

"The panel, and all three, will be responsible for all Australian men's teams," CA national teams boss Ben Oliver said on Monday, before reports of Bailey's appointment emerged.

"What we've tried to achieve in this recruitment process is adding in some complementary skills to support Trevor and Justin and one of those is a consideration around short-format cricket."

Klinger is instead expected to replace Andrew McDonald as the Melbourne Renegades' BBL coach.

The highly regarded McDonald was recently appointed Langer's senior assistant coach, adding more T20 acumen to the setup ahead of next year's World Cup.

Bailey could yet remain available to play for Tasmania and in the Hobart Hurricanes' BBL squad this summer.

His appointment following an interview on Sunday comes after he was helped along by Australian Test captain and state teammate Tim Paine.

"In last week's Shield game he was batting at five, I was batting at seven, so we were both sitting in the change rooms and set up a mock interview," Paine said on ABC radio last week.

"He's ready to go so hopefully he gets the nod, I think he'd be ideal."

Usman Khawaja, who missed selection for the current two-Test series against Pakistan, hardly needed prompting when asked his thoughts on the player-selector arrangement.

"Like a current domestic player? Like George Bailey or something? I think there is always an option there," he said.

"There is no one more involved and more relevant in the game than people who are actually playing the game.

"Players are one of the biggest stakeholders, sometimes the most under-utilised and undervalued stakeholders in the game. It's always important to have someone who still has some skin in the game."

MEDIA RELEASE

George Bailey joins National Selection Panel

Cricket Australia has today announced George Bailey will join the National Selection Panel for the Australian Men’s Cricket Team at the conclusion of the KFC Big Bash League.

Bailey, 37, will draw the curtain on his playing career with Tasmania and the Hobart Hurricanes in early February to take on the role of Selector full-time.

Bailey will initially serve as a National Teams advisor and work closely with the likes of EGM of National Teams Ben Oliver, Australian Men’s Team Head Coach Justin Langer and National Selector Trevor Hohns before joining the NSP in a full-time capacity upon his retirement from playing.

Oliver said Bailey would bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the NSP.

“We’re thrilled to have George join the National Selection Panel. He is an outstanding leader and one of the most respected, thoughtful and generous figures in international cricket,” Oliver said.

“George’s international and domestic playing career speaks for itself. His extensive experience across all formats, and deep knowledge of T20 cricket, will be invaluable as we head into a home T20 World Cup and beyond.

“We’re also excited about the broader impact that George will have on Australian cricket as we work to connect more closely with players, coaches and high performance staff across the country.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Cricket Tasmania for their support of George’s move to the NSP, as well as all those who took the time to apply for the position.”

Bailey represented Australia in five Tests, 90 One-Day Internationals and 30 Twenty20 Internationals. He has also been a stalwart for Tasmania, the Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars since making his first-class debut in 2004. He is currently 12 runs short of 10,000 first class runs.

Bailey said he was delighted to be joining Hohns and Langer on the NSP.

“I am passionate about the long-term success of the Australian cricket team and advancing the cause of Australian cricket in general,” Bailey said. “I have been fortunate enough to contribute as a player for quite a few years, and to now have the opportunity to continue in the role of Selector is a tremendous honour.

“I’m confident I can add value to the selection process and that my experience will be complementary to that of Trevor and Justin. I am really excited to be joining them in the coming months.”

Dominic Baker, Cricket Tasmania’s Chief Executive, congratulated Bailey on an outstanding playing career and wished him well in his new endeavour.

“George has been the heart and soul of Tasmanian cricket for well over a decade and, on behalf of all Tasmanians, I thank him for his dedication, commitment and passion for the cause,” Baker said. “I have no doubt George will make an outstanding Selector and will provide Australian cricket with the same wisdom, drive and purpose that has defined his time with Tasmania.”

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Isn't it too soon to be appointed as selector?. It is like if Dhoni retires and becomes selector of Indian team. Why not someone from previous generation like Steve Waugh/Gilchrist ?

 

[Hasan123]

He knows Australians domestic cricket as he is just coming out of it . A bold move by Australia.

 

[Boi]

One of the most likeable cricketers to come out of Australia. His recent batting stance is absolutely hilarious

 

[minamino]

George Bailey is a T20 selector for Australia

George Bailey at the age of 37 is the selector of Australian T20 team. In . Pakistan we can't have like this because in Pakistan, the age of 37 is considered young for cricketers and we have players making comeback at the age of 34 and players who should probably be selectors are crying for a spot in the team.
