The Australian captain wants the ICC to do away with the inconsistency involved with implementing the Umpire Decision Review System ( UDRS ).

Ricky Ponting is disappointed in the fact that the Pakistan Cricket Board ( PCB ) turned down the UDRS in England for want of funds while the BCCI has stuck to its guns about not using the UDRS without a satisfactory reason. However, Australia are scheduled to use the technology for the Ashes down under.
Ponting spoke to the media, "I just think probably even the ICC could have stepped in on this occasion. It is a financial thing at the end of the day, that is the reason we are not using it. So I thought the ICC could have come in and done something about it but it has not eventuated and that is just the way it is. So we just have to get on with it.
"It was brought in as compulsory in Test cricket 12 months ago now, so I thought if it was ever left up in the air someone should have stepped in and made sure it actually happened."
