The quality of umpiring has already gone from bad to worse in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. Several experts, commentators and even former Australian players urged Cricket

to introduce Decision Review System such that the umpiring blunders can be minimised to a greater extent.

The umpires came under fire for their inability to give the right decisions on the field. During the BBL 10 qualifier match between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers, Mitchell Marsh totally lost his cool after he became the victim of terrible umpiring in the match. The incident happened during the 13th over bowled by left-arm spinner Steve O' Keefe. The spinner bowled a tad wide which tempted all-rounder Mitchell Marsh to play the shot. However, as it turned out, he missed the ball completely. Although there was a clear gap between the bat and the ball, Sixers' wicketkeeper Josh Philippe made a loud appeal and even Steve O'Keefe made a confident appeal. The umpire was convinced and raised his finger, leaving Marsh in total disbelief. He even crossed his limits and used cuss words at the umpire. “F**king sh*t umpiring,” he shouted and then made his way back to the dressing room. Marsh lost control over his emotions and as a result, he used offensive words at the match official.
