Adjudication in Cricket

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This chapter examines gender inequality in the quality of adjudication in cricket matches. First, all the benefits of neutral umpires in Test Matches are exclusive to men’s Test Matches and have bypassed the women’s game entirely. Second, most of the benefits of the Decision Review System have accrued, through its regular usage in men’s games, to men who, through constant exposure to DRS, have become adept at its use. In contrast, the sporadic use of DRS in women’s matches has had two effects: firstly, the benefits of DRS to women are occasional; secondly, these occasional benefits have been further diluted because the intermittent availability of DRS to women cricketers means that they have found it difficult to learn the art and the tricks of using the system effectively.
