Fourth umpire neutrality
Anybody know if the 4th umpire has to be from a neutral country? Or if they have to be a member of the elite panel?

I ask because there are 10 Ashes Test matches coming up and only 4 of the elite panel are from countries other than Eng or Aus. Does this mean the same 4 match official will have to officiate at all 10 Ashes matches? Dominic Sayers (talk) 17:10, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
