What do you think about the review system ?

[punjabi_khota]

Bad karma for all the BCCI's acts. Someone has to pay for it.:giggle:

[Rajiv]

but that was not the reason why India lost the match' date=' their inability to play spin on a dead pitch cost them match.Dead pitch as to be emphasized,with luck of draw they might restricted Srilanka to say 400 , still it was no contest.[/quote'] ..I wasn't talking about the results here, but a mere extrapolation where Kumble will benefit Give it time, this was the 1st game

[yoda]

review system is there to make things correct. not to help players with high average or bowlers with low average for this team or that team. if this test in any indication, it might show us that things did probably even out in the long run for all players. it is just that we seem to focus more on wrong decisions given against our fav player and tend to ignore the decisions that were not given.

Review system will reduce a lot of drama and heartburn.It will take out human bias out of the equation and make the game more honest.

I wish this review system was there during Sydney test. :wtg:

[beetle]

So much for players being more honest (read: Tendulkar and Dravid).

Coming from someone that supports a team where the druggies are heroes.....:hysterical:

Long stride forward does not matter with review system? I noticed a lot of LBW's being given even when the batsman had a long stride forward 2.2 meters etc. Whats the deal with this?

[punjabi_khota]

2.2 Km. Seriously though, the review system cannot be used to predict the trajectory. It only gives the on field umpire 2 things: 1). Whether ball was pitched inside the line or not. 2). Whether it impacted inside the line or not. The on field umpire has to judge, looking at the way ball is turning/rising to decide if it would have gone to hit the stumps. So if the ball ihit low enough, and isn't turning too much, he will give the batsman out more often than not.

The review system is stupid, hideous and great insult to human intellect!

[cowboysfan]

not on these pitches where the bounce is not that high at all-I seem to remember the umpires giving a lot of LBWs where batsmen have got a good stride in recently.

[MPS 3]

Full Hawkeye is not allowed to be used by 3rd umpire. Only the pitch bar to show where it pitched and where it hits the batsman... they are not allowed to see where Hawkeye thinks it will go had the batsman not been there.

The review system is stupid' date=' hideous and great insult to human intellect![/quote'] The system of Bucknor + Benson was a great insult to cricket itself.

[cowboysfan]

The review system is stupid' date=' hideous and great insult to human intellect![/quote'] typical knee jerk reaction. i will bet you would be crying when we get a lot of bad decisions against the aussies -you cant have it both ways.I would take the review system anyday and its not even close.

[Predator_05]

Gotta love the review system. The umpire had no hesitation in giving it out even though the ball wasn't going to hit off-stump. Ganguly asks for a review, the right call is made and he carries on playing.

[Brainfade]

Downside of Review system There is a problem with the review system, which needs to be sorted, may be use of sneakometer/shadow technology whatever needs to be used should be used. Today Dilshan got an edge and umpire gave him out, Dilshan walked. There was clear sound and no doubt about the edge. What if Dilshan had chosen to use review like he did in SSC, where there was edge but not conclusive to the third umpire. If you look at the reply there was no perceivable deflection, dint seem he edged in replys. This is downside.

The review system has been quite messy. The long delays before the captain decides whether to review or not are not helping. They definitely need to implement the use of snicko and hot spot as these pieces of technology are very handy.

[Chandan]

I think there is no need for snicko or hotspot etc which are unproven technology. If the third umpire finds the result inconclusive he should go with the decision of field umpire because field umpire was in a better position to see things. Besides, review system is there just to remove the howlers from the field umpires, not correct each and everything which is not clear to them through television.

The review system has been quite messy. The long delays before the captain decides whether to review or not are not helping.

This should be fixed as soon as possible by putting a time limit through which a captain or batsman can ask for a review. And discussions with umpires should be stopped unless a batsman wants to ask if he was given out caught ot lbw!

They definitely need to implement the use of snicko and hot spot as these pieces of technology are very handy.

No. they are not perfect. Also the TVs should be allowed to use only Hawk-eye, not its cheaper versions like virtual eye which Ten Sports is using at the moment!

[cowboysfan]

it will-patience muchacho.

I dont agree. As I understand the review system, the field umpire is given "additional" information by using technology. If the additional information conclusively proves that his original perception was wrong, he would overturn his decision. Otherwise not. Therefore, if the umpire was originally convinced that there was an edge and the replays do not give conclusive evidence that there was no edge, he would rely on his original conviction.
