This set of statistics is as fascinating as startling (even though the English composition could do with refinement). It demonstrates the degree of travel and the labour (including intellectual discernment) required of the personnel who work as ADJUDICATORS in the competitive cricket world.
Theri tasks, as we know, require a cricketing background and a capcaity of discernment– a capacity that deploys modern technology–not a mean responsibility.
As cricket lovers we must doff our caps to all of them — men and women alike. AND, thank you Ranjith man for bringing this issue before us in a pertinent manner.
