Schoolboy error! Schoolboys don't want to control all the Umpires & Scorers in England & Wales!...or the County Boards. These ECB people are a disgrace. They should relinquish their grandiose scheme and instead, actually assist the people who have been promoting the welfare of Umpires & Scorers for over fifty years.

Colin Pearson emailed a warning about DPA to a member of one of the ECB/ECBOA working party / steering groups about this very point on 12 May 2006!

Steven Wood reports that this article has now been withdrawn.

Steven Wood really should check his facts before offering advice.
I have just followed the embedded link contained in Acumen News #112 dated 11 March 2007; it took me straight to the Charles Randall article.
It was also strange that Acumen News also carried the warning about the removal of the article - presumably on the basis of Steven Wood's advice.
Cricinfo have not withdrawn the article. I suspect that what may well have happened was that Cricinfo cleared their main page into their News Archive - where this article now appears under the 5 March 2007 timeline.
I think that the article may well strike a chord with many ACU&S members. There were two letters about the ECB use of the CRB database in the last edition of How's That?
I note from the minutes of the ECB OA Steering Group published on the ECB website that the use of the CRB database for contacting umpires was first proposed by Frank Kemp at the meeting on 29 June 2006. "The Group endorsed this approach."
Geoff Lowden, ACU&S Chairman, was a member of the ECB OA Steering Group although, in fairness, he was not present at the June meeting. He was present at the next meeting on July 31 where he raised several matters relating to the minutes of the previous meeting. Presumably he had either not seen the minute about the CRB database, or he had not realised the implications.
