He has always had an idiosyncratic way of giving batsmen out, raising his arm way above his head Australian-style and that came about because of his mother, who came to watch him early in his career. “You were pointing your finger at that man – and that’s rude,” she said, so Gould dutifully adopted a different technique which soon became automatic. That became one of his hallmarks. Let’s hope we see it again before too long. Gould said umpire's call, which relates to an lbw decision, should not be used if DRS is available worldwide. Filby said the pair had both been considering their roles for some time, rejecting the idea it was based on Orr's move.

You have to have DRS worldwide and if you do that, I’d take umpire's call out," said Englishman Gould, who stood in 251 international matches. I don't think that is particularly true," Filby continued. "They have both been talking to me about their frustrations with their roles.

Ian Gould is an avid traveller and Barbados is his favourite destination which he often visits with his family. Long experience has conclusively shown to me that the Police complaint procedure is not fit for purpose (unless that purpose is to brush Police Misconduct ‘under the carpet’ and frustrate and deter individuals from pursuing complaints). But is it worth it? Yes. Accountability, vindication and maximum monetary compensation can all be achieved but most importantly of all, my client’s voices get heard and faith in the justice system of our Country (often badly damaged by my client’s experiences at the hands of the Police) can be restored.

Other than the most serious of cases, i.e. death in custody, the vast majority of Police complaints are investigated by the Police Force that has wronged you. Little wonder then that the majority of complaints are not upheld. Tension exists between coaches and players at all times. That is probably one of the 'catalysts' that encouraged Ali to think the grass was greener elsewhere.

On criticism in general of Sussex on social media, Filby concluded: "I've stopped reading social media, I am aware of (the criticism) but it's ill informed.Former Sussex opener Chris Nash also posted: "To see a young player with stats like that to leave his home county with time on his contract is a concern and hopefully there's a clear explanation for it - otherwise it is not a good look." It was a similar level of frustration with Chris, and I've been talking to him all about this all through the summer," Filby added.
