After two drab draws and ten days full of yawns, even the umpires, who thanklessly stand in the middle with utmost patience and focus, have decided that enough is enough.

South African Rudi Koertzen, a member of the International Cricket Council's Elite Panel of umpires, has supported a change in rules to allow calling off a Test match at tea break on the final day if a result is not possible.

"There is nothing wrong if the ICC [Images] considers a change in laws that allows such Test matches to be called off at tea with the consent of both captains when a last-day result is not possible," he was quoted as saying by The News.

Koertzen, who supervised the first two Tests between Pakistan and India, confirmed he and Australian umpire Simon Taufel had spoken to both captains Inzamam-ul-Haq [Images] and Rahul Dravid [Images] at tea time on the final day in Faisalabad.

He said both had agreed to the match being ended at tea time, since no result was possible.

"We tried to do a similar thing at tea break on the final day of the second Test but we didn't succeed," he said and added that match referee Ranjan Madugalle, however, did not want to take a call on it and asked the two teams to carry on until eight overs were left in the game.
