Clive Lloyd to investigate issues during Johannesburg Test

Legendary former West Indies Captain, Clive Lloyd has been named along with Brent Lockie to investigate the use of the decision review system during the recent fourth Test between South Africa and England.



Cricket’s world governing body, the International Cricket Council, yesterday appointed the duo following an official complaint lodged by the England and Wales Cricket Board, arising out of the review of a dismissal during the Johannesburg Test earlier this month.



Following an appeal for a catch at the wicket, South Africa’s Captain, Graeme Smith was given not out on 15, a decision upheld by third umpire Daryl Harper when England asked for a review.



Reports indicate that Harper had failed to adjust the volume, which would have allowed him to hear what appeared to be an edge.



ICC’s Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat said the investigation will help to improve the system, which had worked well so far.
