The Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers (commonly known as the ACU&S) was set by the umpire Tom Smith as the Association of Cricket Umpires (the scorers were only included in membership several years later), in order to provide training and advice to cricket officials. It now has a membership of over 3000, in countries all over the world. Its textbook Tom Smith's Cricket Umpiring and Scoring was first published in 1980, but has had multiple reprints and now has been entirely rewritten for the new 2000 Laws of Cricket. The ACU&S also has the duty of assigning qualified umpires and scorers to cricket matches around the world. It is funded by membership fees, advertising in its quarterly newsletter How's That and the profits from selling official umpire and scorer uniform, such as ties, shirts and trousers. ...more on Wikipedia about "Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers"

The ICC Elite Umpire Panel is a panel of umpires, who officiate in Test matches all around the world and in one-day international games. At present, the Panel consists of Steve Bucknor (West Indies), Darrell Hair, Simon Taufel and Daryl Harper ( Australia), Brent Bowden ( New Zealand), Rudi Koertzen ( South Africa) and Aleem Dar ( Pakistan). The Panel has only seven members currently, after the retirements of David Shepherd ( England) and Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan ( India). Three members were also removed from the panel, Asoka Da Silva, David Orchard and Russell Tiffin due to poor performances. The Panel is generally thought of to contain the best umpires in the world, and mistakes from the umpires on it are usually rare. The Panel was created after it was decided that neutral umpires would be used in Test matches, rather than umpires or an umpire from the home nation, which was the system before. The incredible demands of the Panel has meant that some umpires have decided against joining, such as Peter Willey and Neil Mallender of England. ...more on Wikipedia about "ICC Elite umpire panel"

In cricket, a One-Day International (ODI) is tied if the match ends with each team having scored exactly the same number of runs and with the side batting second having completed its innings with all 10 batsmen being out or the pre-determined number of overs having been completed. In a rain-affected match, the match is tied if the Duckworth-Lewis method indicates that the second team exactly meets but does not exceed the par score. ...more on Wikipedia about "List of tied one-day internationals"

The Twelfth Man is the name for a series of comedy productions by Australian satirist Billy Birmingham. Birmingham, a skilled impersonator, is generally known for parodying Australian sports commentators' voices. As befits the name (a reference to the non-playing reserve in a cricket side), Birmingham particularly focuses on cricket commentators such as Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry and Tony Greig. This is also due to the fact that many of Australia's cricket commentators have distinctive and easily-identifiable voices and accents. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Twelfth Man"
