SA v Oz umpires named

Dubai - The upcoming Test series between South Africa and Australia which begins in Johannesburg on February 26 will be refereed by Jeff Crowe and this three-match series will see a continuation of the trial of the umpire decision review system, which has been put to the test during series' between Sri Lanka and India and New Zealand and the West Indies, as well as the current clash between the West Indies and England.

Billy Bowden and Steve Bucknor will stand in the first Test in Johannesburg with another elite panelist, Asad Rauf, assuming the role of television umpire.

Bucknor and Rauf will swap their roles for the second Test to be staged in Durban while those two will come together as on-field umpires with Bowden as television umpire for the third Test to be played in Cape Town from March 19.
