Taufel wants change in attitude to Indian umpiring

Simon Taufel who is currently training Indian umpires as part of his brief as ICC Umpires and Performance Manager, was blunt in his remarks against the Indian players who he felt, did not give the required respect to the umpires.

He said that he would love the players to appreciate and show equal empathy for the difficult nature of their job.

Relations between players and the umpires have always been frosty, but Taufel managed to keep his head high based on the high percentage of correct decisions he made.

The players, Taufel said, need to provide constructive feedback and not just grumble about the shortcomings of the match officials.
